    Fancy/novelty/coloured mains plugs?

    Hi, I'm creating some bespoke mood lights with coloured woven cables and am looking high and low for a nice (rewirable) plug to match the cable. So far, I'm disappointed to only find either white or black common plugs that look very crude/industrial. Do you know of anything fancier out there...

    Schuko Sockets

    Are schuko (continental Europe) sockets installed on a 10, 16 or 20amp MCB? Schuko plugs have no fuse, so a 32 amp ring or radial would be illegal?

    nail plugs or very thin yellow plugs?

    Has anyone got a source for "pin plugs"? I find "Uni-fix nailing plugs" - but at nearly £8 per 100 on Ebay! That's barmy when cheapo yellow plugs (just a teeny bit too big for clip nails) are 39p in Screwfix. I used to have a box of yellow ones which worked a treat, but no idea of the brand...

    Australian Plugs

    Hi, I had a nice little job of cutting 20 Australian plugs off appliances etc the other day and replacing with uk plugs... It occurred to me though, none of them had fuses?..

    Any one out there ever needed to fit a recessed socket so the plug would fit flush with the wall. On a job and my customer need this so they can fit a piece of furniture close to the wall. Would there be any demand for some sort of recessed socket in certain situations??

    SMA Power plugs

    Contractor has lost the power plugs off SMA2500HF. I think they are Cloverleaf shaped so maybe a C6 to C13 adapter would work to then use standard IEC leads off the shelf. Anyone know the type of plug into the inverters for sure?
