Deadly disco light.
Added 2020-02-16 01:01:51 +0000 UTCIt looks nice, but I wouldn't recommend screwing this into a lamp holder while the power is on.
I wonder how they can even do stuff like this. Did someone suddenly decided to make a luxury chrome one without thinking things through?

It looks like something from a cheap seaside hotel in the 1960s

2020-02-16 15:30:38 +0000 UTCThere are some noncompliant schemes for wiring 3-way (2wayforclive) switches that leave the shell hot. At 120v on my side of the pond it's not that bad.

2020-02-16 14:36:31 +0000 UTCHow nice. Take a light bulb and wire to the live part and use the other wire to touch the metal coating . Would be interesting if it blows the coating off, or how much current it is able to pass
2020-02-16 13:40:38 +0000 UTCI don't think the government gives priority to non profitable departments. It usually takes a financial impact on the house of lords to get something done.

2020-02-16 11:45:34 +0000 UTCJust like a typical stormy day here on the Isle of Man.

2020-02-16 11:43:53 +0000 UTCI love it! Beautiful and deadly. Just like my Ex.

2020-02-16 11:27:07 +0000 UTCI imagine there must come a point where enough people are plated by cheap import electricals that the govt steps in and puts a stop to these big marketplace sites importing non-compliant crap. But then again, when have they cared about safety, more likely to hold something at customs because the duty hasn't been paid than over a safety concern.

2020-02-16 09:35:24 +0000 UTCSometimes I wonder what it would look like if you powered on all LED lights that you have at the same time. Must be an almost blinding, certainly illuminating, maybe inspiring experience.
2020-02-16 09:24:07 +0000 UTCIt's scary that this kind of stuff is available. I got one of these below for my granddaughter and once I saw the counterfeit plug, the dodgy flex and some other stuff inside I threw it out and got her a battery/usb powered version.

2020-02-16 05:18:06 +0000 UTCYou do sound very snottery (dunno if that's a term in Scotland. Here it means bunged up head making the voice sound strange) tonight. Hope you are keeping safe from Dennis. Know the Irish Sea can get a hammering, being between two land masses. Looks like IOM is getting 60-70 km/h gusts.
