Discuss Smallest possible cable for a 4w LED load. in the Lighting Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

Cheers guys, I have just kept the original wiring other than the main flex. I've replaced dodgy connectors with slightly less dodgy crimps. I devised a cable clamp on the incoming flex also. It's as safe as i can sensibly make it

I found an Inline dimmer with a min load of 11W so it should work to about half light. Really impressed with the 4W filament LED lamps, they don't even get hot to the touch but they are very bright and i think the dimmer will be appreciated...

How have you enclosed the crimps.
 
Probably a lot safer now than when it was first made. Candles were a major source of house fires. There you go a positive reply!
I'd rather not thanks, you will just tell me that it's inadequate
I believe you would have got an honest review of the work you have done. good or bad would depend on the way it was done.
Can't be worse than the original tape and chock blocks?

Lets not get all bitchy now. It's the season of good will and kissing under the mistletoe.
