Logo in the bottom right corner - looks like I shouldn’t be installing them in a home.

Also - 30 of them needed per lamp at 15w each - two lights (one already installed by customer) + other lights.
It’s right up close to maximum demand - even with diversity.....

Customer supplied lamps - time for a chat - but to put LED’s in will cost £££££

That's half a kilowatt of lighting in one fitting !! Be interesting to work out the cost saving of LEDs and then the payback time. I'd certainly fit LEDs.
 
So nothing to do with being cheap and having no fuses in leads !
(Having seen holes burnt in thread of a cheap LED ses on this site)
 
Reminds me of a job i had last year in a huge apartment building in Bath called Empire, it was once a grand hotel before being taken over by admiralty during the war.I had to change some bulbs in a similar chandelier type fitting. thought ah nice easy job.
Got there and it was on top floor above the grand staircase with a 4 storey drop directly below in between staircase. i stood on ground floor looking up and thought bloody heck
had to arrange for some scaffolding to be put up to bridge the gap between the stairs as there was no way to reach it as somehow the old winch system to lower it and raise it had seized up and had since been welded.

maybe when the door in to front room opens and close the lighting will come on and off ,is their a pint of milk near the chandelier.
 
If the customer can afford a house where that sort of light fitting is installed then he can afford the replacements even if the are LED's.

Oh and don't show him this,

see that's where you london boyz get it all wrong. should have had Scousers to take the chandelier down. it would not have gotten broken. OK< customer would never see it again but at least it would have been nicked with style.
 
Did you have a little trouble uploading the photos there?

Agree... go with LED. The cost saving in running them will soon pay for the upfront cost in buying them.

Interesting.
I was close to the answer but it’s good to hear from elsewhere.
Customer is insisting I fit them.....
He says it’s on him....

It is a fridge light for sure. The clue was on the back of the box where there was a picture.:oops:

:D
They could reduce their heating bills with one of those in each room.

Too right. I got close to the one the customer had installed to measure up. Reminded me of Benidorm.

He also wants them dimmed.
So that’s 900 watts through a dimmer. I think they are rated to 600 Watts max.
In a 16mm box.
Oh dear.
Other than that a relatively straight foreward day!
