    Gareth, this is interesting! I also have 2 of these, but could not get it to work.
    Do you know if it will work with T8 tubes?
    I've also heard that the wires on one side, need to be shorter. How short?
    Watching this....

    Hi Gert
    I see on the one Baluster I have it says on one side 2m max and the other says 1m max
    so I don't know if this help you but that's what is says.
    as far as I know they will only work with T5s not sure it will work with the T8s

    Hoping some one will shed light on this for us....

    Why don't you ask an electrician? You are just going to mess up the place and blow something if you don't know what you should be doing.....:blink1::bigsmile::blink1::bigsmile:

    I see GG's support here...

    If Gareth blows something up, it'll cost to replace... which means less jewellery for her!

    No it's not that, it's just that if he blows it up, then he wants new ones....and to add to that its more cleaning for me......
    Although he's very careful lately, he does things properly these days, I guess I should have more faith...
