    Hi People, I am new to the forum and I am looking for price advice.

    We have a convenience store and are having a new suspended ceiling installed but we are also having 16 light fittings installed. I believe the wiring is okay and I think we will be going for LED fittings. I just wondered if anyone can advise on the price roughly just so I have an idea.

    Van Stickers For The Forum

    We're getting some van stickers made. What would you want on them? I'm thinking for the trusted advisors having some sort of wording denoting that they're a trusted advisor would be cool. A nice plug for them. Then some standard ones perhaps saying 'I'm a member of ElectriciansForums.co.uk'...
