I'd love to show you.



Well if they work for you then fair enough. There are a lot better boots for walking than the crap we get issued though and magnums aren't much better. It just confuses me why so many people wear them out of choice.

he sold them to me for £30 so not really fussed if they don't last long

Is that job easy to do?

Very easy if you can keep the original lights junction box in place. I just removed the old live, neutral and earth wire and put the new ones in and then screwed the light to the joist. Took about 15 mins to do.

That's Marketing slight of hand
The LED device will last a very long time (although dimming slightly), but the capacitors in a hot fitting may only last a year.
I noticed that the CREE ones (still only availiable in the USA) use very good quality capacitors. I really hope we don't get ripped off when they finally get imported to the UK.

They supposedly come with a 5 year warranty, so hopefully they will last more than a year. Do cree actually make their own bulbs then? I know that ebay is flooded with fake cree bulbs. I bought some myself a while back and they all died after a few weeks, but like you said the leds were still ok, it was probably the capacitors that went as I hooked the leds up to a 12v adapter and they worked fine.

Very happy with it, and it's very warm for the winter!
 
I like them and almost bought one last year, but the problem is 90% of them are owned by spivs now rather than people that actually live in the country :p.
 
I relented and bought one of those Sky Now boxes for £9.99. Used it a few times for iPlayer so far but was a bit disappointed that the Sky News and Fox News channels aren't actual channels on the box, just a collection of news clips unless I'm missing something.

I guess that is why they are so cheap. IF they had ITV Player and 4OD on too, they would cost a lot more.

Intrigued - does this do iPlayer HD?

Only 720p and only in Stereo.

It's £10 and for Plex it's worth it, not much else though!

The unit is REALLY light, Apple TV is the same size and weigh about 3 times more, obviously that does full HD and full surround sound too (or 720p for ATV2 for the semantics)

for £9.99 delivered its a great buy then IMO.

If it had Youtube HD it would have been a belter. EDIT - It has Vimeo HD, cool!

Cheers.

Yup, i'm pretty impressed with it. Put it this way, i've spent £10 on a lot worse things.

I have a solid oak worktop with three of those cabinets. I have the white drawers, a green cupboard with door and a red cupboard without door. Brilliant really, so flexible.

Where would one source a large oak worktop to use for making a desk? Mine is currently made from MDF so I would love an upgrade.

Chippyshop on eBay, or look out for someone selling one second hand on eBay or gumtree. People changing their kitchen, installers ballsing up the cutting, etc.

Ikea do them but they're a) not very deep and b) no longer specifying oak as far as I can tell. Presumably it's too expensive for their business model?
