  1. Both sides (2 bulbs)
  2. Perfect thanks... ps, are these LED bulbs polarity, because they are not marked at all. LED on left replaced the one on the right. ps, I'm thinking of wiring all 3 lights to one transformer.
  3. RV1 removed and tested, Not short...
  4. I do see some flickering to be honest
  5. whats the alternative?
  6. Soldered a bridge across "fuse pins" and tested with multimeter across + & - and I get a dead short on the 220 input circuit...
  7. pictures uploaded, its a fuse inside the transformer.. The casing states Max. 35 - 160W. I have 8 x 12 LED bulbs on this light. ps, I have 3 such lights, the other 2 are ok. so far...
  8. It is the same one, identically.
  9. 3rd attempt to post picture hope this one works Looks like a fuse? on the 220V input
  10. Morning, The weirdest thing happened, one of my lights blew the transformer... Model GET-0812 Output is AC11.5V 160W. I stripped the light, (what a job) and found this part completely blow away. What would have caused this, oh and the isolator switch tripped as well.
  11. Now if I could just find a "LED version" for my underfloor heating
  12. Then I suspect the term "engineer" is used very loosely
  13. I just replaced these 24 bulbs with LED ones at R40 each, dropped the usage from 480 watts to 30 watts!!!
  14. Battery porn ;-)
  15. I just bought 2 additional sensors for my Efergy Home Hub directly from Efergy in Spain (Ellies could not supply) and from the time I started buying till I pad, it went up R23 on my total price, including shipping.
  16. Morning all, I just got the heads up from a local solar supplier that there are insane price hikes taking place. What are your thoughts, experiences.
  17. Available from Ellies for R780 Gives you current energy demand, hourly readouts of usage, costs and kgCO2 contribution (for solar this should be ZERO ) you can also add additional CT's to monitor different circuits and download the raw data to import into any database.
  18. Good grief, how much were they paying before...
  19. I have already spent R1200 so far on Efergy home hub and a kill-a-watt meter,. Last night I figured out that the "fancy" lights above my kitchen island has these small 12v/20Watt element bulbs (not sure if you get LED) and these consume over 480 W/H versus all my under cabinet LED lights in the kitchen which only consumes 12 W/H and gives us better light, go figure. But I'm holding for the big spend, however my next guaranteed spend is solar (tubes) for the geyser, now just to find the right one at the best price.
  20. Good price!
  21. I'm not on solar yet and I'm already doing this, its almost consuming my day just checking on how much appliances take and for how long its left on, hell if someone wants coffee, they have to check with everyone else, because the kettle will only be switched on once and then the kettle must have the exact amount of water in it.
