    Low voltage halogen equivalent???

    I agree but they have been good customers to me and I still believe in loyalty and will do what I can. I'm out of options so I'm probably going to end up putting lower wattage lamps in and seeing they get on with it.

    Low voltage halogen equivalent???

    I appreciate the help. If I'm honest I think it's a little in the mind as there is a lot wrong with them. I maybe wrong but I've never come across this situation before and the golden rule 'customer is always right'.

    So I have been told. Not sure as never had this issue before. They appear to have a lot of medication in the house.

    Low voltage halogen equivalent???

    The down lights are traditional with cans and lamp set up. Up stairs there is insulation in the loft but not on the lights as I've pulled that off a few years ago. There is a light breeze through the downstairs ones but the house is very warm anyway. The under cabinets are surface mounted units...

    I have tried mate. They won't even have led under cupboard lighting which isn't seen directly. They have 12v cabinet lighting which is also popping all the time due to heat build up. It feels like trying to reinvent the wheel on this job as the only light they can tolerate is l.v halogen.

    I have a customer who has in excess of 25 low voltage down lights that are on 24/7. They have a condition where they can't tolerate LEDs or CFL lamps and GU10's aren't bright enough.

    Testing Mains Heat Alarms? Small fire with no trigger!

    What are the better test rigs so that I can at least have piece of mind in future testing?

    Testing Mains Heat Alarms? Small fire with no trigger!

    Thats fair enough Tazz but as per the regs we must follow manufacturer instructions and guidelines. I think it is all too vague and all alarms need to be tested in the same controlled manner in order to have an idea of which ones are better.

    Testing Mains Heat Alarms? Small fire with no trigger!

    I agree with you Taz but the fact that Aico say don't test with anything other than the button has got me worried now. What other alarms are available that allow testing with button and secondary items such as smoke/ heat?

    I can't seem to get the attachment on here for love nor money. I've tried copy and paste, loading it into photo bucket and even screen dumping my phone as a picture but it can't see the image???

    You and me both mate. I have used them for years and love the Radio link bases etc.. but this has swayed me a bit.

    I dont feel that this is enough especially as I have had a fire on a job where the alarms didn't sound. She is elderly and forgot about the pan. Next time she might not be so lucky!
