  1. Lol, two sparks I use are called Lee, weird
    And they think their so superior because they are the only trade that finish electrician..... as we are just er's carpenter, plasterer, plumber, roofer, tiler, painter and so on
    And I agree on Wago's all day long

    If you've not already spoken to @art b @sANDYbAY i can guess his answer may be to stick it together and mortar over it :)

    We bought a £4000 electric saildrive for a boat at work. It kept cutting out.
    Our boss phones manufacturers tech support...they tell him .. oh yeah theres a little 10pence plug and socket in the control box and they fall apart sometimes... grrrr.
    One pair of those Wago connectors later... sorted!
    . Bombing around at up to 10 knots now.. a robot electric catamaran.

    No, there's no point asking advice from people who do this stuff for a living and then fail to heed it.

    I dunno, I think the lights are 240Km and the sockets are 12 Kw/meters or maybe it's 14 lb sq watt. :)

  10. 240Km? You'll need 1000w halogen floodlights to see them from that far away...............
