What have you Done It Yourself?

[Dave Plowman (News)]

I recently bought one which said suitable for LEDs. Which it is, controlling 3 GU10s And can't say it the guts looked very different from any others, in their plastic case.

Well I work with dicfrete electronic componets and I can't tell a DA from an AD from a 3 axis acceleometer from a 9 axis one from justv looking at the case design. So I don't see how you can.

[dennis]

I can, one will be labelled as inputs the other outputs.

I can but I might have trouble telling a three axis from a six axis one.

[tabbypurr]

that's exactly your problem.

[whisky-dave]

No they won't not on the device.

[whisky-dave]

A smaller problem(s) than you have.

[Dave Plowman (News)]

As with anything, it's the outside casing that determines the size. Not what is in it.

[whisky-dave]

Well to some extent, but the more that is in a chip the greater the size is likely to be.

[Dave Plowman (News)]

Not necessarily. Some parts are a fixed size - like the pot/switch and the need for a base to fix it to the plate. And that not many would be happy having to use an extra deep box if it is a replacement type.

[tabbypurr]

Yes, I do have bigger things to think about.

Joist hanger nail? Plasterboard nail?

[whisky-dave]

you can get differnt size pots, I have some, slide pots & digital ones too. I have presets which are pretty much the same. There are alternatoves in various sizes.

It won;t be called a replacement if it doesn't fit.

[whisky-dave]

Don't we all but not all of us need to boast about it.

[Bob Minchin]

I don't think so , there was no rifling as you would find on a joist hanger nail as well as being a bit too short and PB nail are galvanised IME. I left it in the tyre for the repair guys benefit so I no longer have it to post a picture of.
