Don't put GU10 lamps in the dishwasher. They're not watertight.



Don't ask me how I know...

Nahh, no man would be that daft:-)

perhaps he was indulging in some light cleaning......?

but did he deliberately put them in the dishwasher

Cue story about punter being told that he could clean his keyboard in a dishwasher (provided that you let it dry out properly before using it again) not realizing that this didn't apply if it's still connected to the laptop

Why would you want to?

In any case, why did you want to light up the insides of the dishwasher?

Bill

have you never heard of Sunlight Soap?

Because you've just plugged a wineglass into a downlighter?

Covered in paint. See my other thread about GU10 fittings.

Not even the outdoor ones with duct tape over the cable inlet?

No he ran a simulation on a Quantum computer. Brian

Only dim after wards though, and crackle a lot. Brian

Blimey. No not even if its not connected. You should remove the membrane if that is what it uses, the rest will clean nicely but do not get it too hot. I also found a person whose cheap laptops key printing was taken off by a famous plastic cleaning product.. ahem. Brian

To get paint off of course. Silly question. Brian

By the way, for anyone interested: all the GU10 bulbs that went in the dishwasher still work. One lost its reflective coating, probably due to the corrosive nature of the dishwasher tablet, that got tossed.
