    American sourced light fittings used in the UK

    Im fitting some light fittings from the US with an inbuilt PIR. Given US mains voltage is 110-120v @60Hz UK is 240v @ 50Hz .

    Forum Language

    @Dan Can you change the forum language to UK English, please. I don't like American 'English'. Or at least add the option English(UK) to the language button, bottom left corner.

    Curiosity about American 3-pin outlets.

    Until some years ago American 3-pin outlets were installed similarly to ours insofar as the earth pin was at the top; presumably for the same reason that ours are. Now, though, they all seem to be installed with the earth pin at the bottom. Does anyone know the reason for this?
