Hi,

We inherited a 12 volt transformer set up in our garden and I’ve recently
had it OK’d for use by a sparky so I’m looking to buy some spotlights – my
question is how do I know what size cable to order for our garden lights?

Thanking you

Paula Turner

Hi, I have disco lights bought from Big W about 8 years ago. It has a 12
volt globes in them. Bayonet like and small, like what you would put in a
torch. Do you have them and if not what else could I put in there without
blowing it up ha ha. I look forward to your reply.

Hi, can you recommend an automatic motion sensor light for a kitchen pantry?

We have numerous halogen downlights in our rented home. They all have square discolouration in the gyproc around them very well demarcated. I think it is related to heat produced by the downlights affecting the gyproc and causing dust etc to attach to this area.

Our landlord is trying to suggest we have damaged the gyproc in some way. There are no other discoloured areas anywhere else on the ceilings.

Could heat from halogen downlights cause this problem?

Thanks

Hi There

I am the head of the body corporate of our building and currently using incandescent globes in our fittings in the common areas. I would like to use compact fluorescent globes CFL to try and save electricity but also save on our building maintenance costs.

We will get the same life that is quoted by the manufactures if we have the lights on for extended periods at a time?

Looking forward to your response.

Kind regards

Jill

Dear Daniel

I have just accidentally dropped and broken a compact fluorescent lamp while installing it

My friend tells me that I am going to die of some terrible mercury driven disease and that I should sell the house

Can you please en”lighten” me (LOL)

Many thanks

Hi,

We have just moved into a house with what seems like hundreds or MR16 lights (all put in around eight years ago), I will remove half of them (pitty the poor soul who’ll be patching the plaster on the ceiling) as these two rooms already have incandecent lighting, this should save power and heat.

The other half of the MR16 lighting is under a flat tine roof which was assembled TIN/SilverInsulation/Insulation Bats/MR16 Down lights, at points the Bats were touching the MR16 lights, I have replaced all MR16 globes with 20w ones I purchased from you and tried at best to remove the Bats from around the MR16 lights but being at flat tine roof at this point it is quite hard.

My question is this, how hot do the 20w globes get as I understand the 50w are in excess of 260c so I estimate the heat to be around 104c reducing the fire hazard considerably (I hope). Also, what is the power consumption of the transformers and do they represent a fire risk?

Regards,

Hello Lighting Pro

I’m renovating a pharmacy shop. Basically I’ve got normal halogen downlights lighting up both sides of the wall stock. I have 6 downlights on each side spanning ~9m each side but the lighting is still very dark.

I was recommended to get metal halide shoplighters.

Just want to know if that is suitable and whether 70W or 150W. Will 70W be too bright.

Many thanks

Hi

Just wondering if it’s possible to obtain Double Ended Linear Halogen J Type Lamps rated at 5000 Kelvin (5000K)?

Thanks.
