Message: [QUOTE="Sean Regan, post: 249173, member: 5841"] I hadn't intended to do anything today as I had shopping to do in the morning and there's a lot of sport on TV this afternoon and evening. But last night my wife alerted me to a problem with the security light that covers the patio next to the French windows. We've three PIRs in the garden, I like to think they deter the cats, at least we'll see them if they activate any during the evening and if I can bothered, I can shoosh them away, The one in question kept flashing, which worried her. She has a fear of electrical stuff ever since the "wifey fry," as she called it (Actifry) we had over a decade ago caught fire. There was a design fault with the original one so it was replaced, but she never used it again. A year later we gave it away. So this morning I checked out the lamp by changing the bulb, which didn't make any difference. So I decided to move the one down on the side of the tea-house to replace it. While I was out shopping I decided I might as well get a new lamp. Argos didn't have a similar one in stock so I bought an LED one for fifteen quid. I still intended to bring the other one down as it was 400w so it would be brighter than the new one. So I swopped them over.

Fortunately, there's another socket behind the TV for the trail cam. So I could put the adapter in it and use that for both. I try to avoid using adapters when possible.
