Labelling lighting cables in loft

[Tim Watts]

No - because I have a pretty good idea of the average usage :)

Not to say that if a bulb fails in 9 months, used for 0 hours or the full 24/7, it's still a failure :)

I have certainly had toolstation refund/replace quite happily when folloed up (sometimes with "it is only 3000 hours since I bought this and it has blown, yet it quotes a 10000 hour life")

The cabinets(*) around here, generally of the cast iron type, don't have krone blocks, they are a mass of dingly dangly jelly beans. A lot of other joints are in chamber torpedoes and again tangled mass of jelly beans.

Jumpers between krone blocks don't need jelly beans. B-)

(*) The new jointing cabinets that are springing up adjacent to the VDSL cabinets might have krone blocks.

The alternative approach is to find a spare pair and borrow it in as many cabinets as you need, toning as you go.

If you see an Openreach guy up a pole toning around it's very amusing to erratically apply tone to one's own line.

For Very Small Values of "amusing".

Not only that, if its less than the stated number of hours since the date of purchase, its a bit of a giveaway.

[John Rumm]

How do you make sure you get the same tone pattern?

[spuorgelgoog]

I don't think it detracts from the confusion if I don't.

Indeed, for extremely svo of amusing when your line goes dead as a result of the confusion due to your interference.
