He has second fixed a job that I first fixed. Now only 3 of the 4 picture lights worked when the lightswitch was turned on.
He phoned me and asked about the route of the cable. Now only the 3rd light in a radial circuit from the light switch worked.
Anyone care to guess the problem:-)?
You bein' a prat comes to mind? *eg*
Drilled through the cables to fix the lights to the wall!!?
His parents gave him an Ex Box to play with as a child, instead of wires and torch-bulbs?
Owain
Is the one that now works, the one that did not before?
I bet when you were an apprentice you were just perfect?
You only need to reverse one set of two wires to create the opposite problem to before. Seems to me that he has to be colour blind and unable to count. Brian
He f***ed up?
I dread to think what you were like, to have turned out how you have.
I thought wiring colours were chosen to be such high contrast it didn't matter what colour perception you had. Doesn't help with the counting, though.
JGH
Not electrically. He had 4 picture lights in a radial. Only no 3 worked. When this light was moved to position 4 it still worked. When the light from position 4 was moved to position 3 it did not work. It was about as the stupid mistake I made with a TV a week ago.
Not this one. He cares about his work. And he wired up the picture lights correctly.
All the picture lights were wired up correctly.
I have never been perfect or claimed to be perfect.
Dud bulb?
Duff bubble or individual on/off switches?
WINNER
It was individual on/off switches
I have the T shirt for doing the same.
what on earth (in this context) is "bubble"?
tim
Light bulb.
In this contect a "bubble" of glass filled with not a lot and a very fine tungsten wire connected to the outside world.
TV and probably stage slang. It doesn't seem right calling a tungsten based bulb drawing 2.5 kW a "bulb", same for an 10 kW arc bulb. B-)
