Hello everyone, I successfully converted the regular flourescent tubes to LED tubes, by-passing the ballast. They work extremely well at temperature -12 degree C. They are so bright, I can say they provide double the brightness of regular flouescent tubes. I will keep going to convert all my...

afjes_2016 : In fact, I love LED. Do you have some sites/links that can show me how to wiring a LED tubes?

Yes, fully agreed. Have to plan for the best before action.

Thank you for all the tips, very helpful. So I won't consider LED as advised. I will look for a suitable electronic ballist to replace my existing regular one. Thank you again.

Hi Steve123, you are correct, this light fixture cannot change like bulb like normally we do. Sad, because one bulb, the whole lamp become useless.

This is the one. If you are correct, I cannot believe that one will design a light that cannot change bulbs!!!!

I bought a Artika Panadora LED Chandelier two years ago, now one bulb is flicking and need to be replaced. I have no manual on hand, even Artika site don't have the manual offer. It is a pendant light, total 29W with 21 bulbs. Is there some one know this Chandelier, can tell me what type/model...

Sorry to interrupt, I am just considering to replace my old interlocking patio and tiled door steps with concrete. In the market, I can choose between Stamped Concrete and Sandblasted Concrete. I can understand what is Stamped Concrete, but what exactly Sandblasted Concrete is? How to compare...

Hello, I am preparing to replace my interlocking patio and driveway with concrete. My main purpose is less maintenance and add value to the property. In the market, I heard a lot about Stamped concrete, but today, I learn that there is another type call Sandblast concrete. The salesperson told...

Hi DFBonnett, is sanding an important procedure that cannot skip?

Hi, I have an aluminium outdoor table, but some of its surface coating have been pilled off. I would like to use black paint to re-paint the whole table, at the same time, to cover up the pilled off areas. I consider to use Spray Paint. I have two questions: 1) Do I have to do any preparation...

Hi, there is not a rock. It is just a dried leave. I wonder how to lift up the air conditioner unit to put shims under the unit and won't damage it?

Thanks for the advice. I am a bit scare may damage the air conditioner unit.

Hi, After the winter, I found my air conditioner whole unit inclined towards the back at an angle which is quite big. The rear part is sinking down by more than 1 inch. I tried to lift it up the base concrete slab and put stones and bricks underneath to try to lift the rear base up, but won't...

Yes, I will still keep using this old one, as it works fine. Just polish up a little bit will do. Thanks maxdad118 for all the help.

This wall switch is solely for the fire place. It hard-wired to the sensor next to the pilot light in the fire place. It said it is a "millivolt" switch, but I really don't know how it works. Just know there are two contact points inside the wall switch. Once they touched, fire starts.

Hi maxdad118, Bingo! Yes, this is the wall switch problem. I used sand paper lightly sand the contact (see the photos attached), and now the fire place works perfect. Since my wall switch is very old, I am looking to get a replacement one. Do you know what is this switch calls, and where can I...

Today, I tried out the works. I first lightly sand the sensor next to the pilot light. Lighted up the pilot, then turn on the fire place, but fire won't start. Then I used a pliers tip to to connect the up and down two screws, fire started. Now what is that means? Is it the sensor problem or else?

Hi maxdad118, it looks like a little bit scarily, but I want to try is out. So shall I first lit up the pilot light, turn the fire place to "ON", and then "short" the two screws (as per photo attached in BLUE color)? If this is the value problem, the fire should start?

Thank you so much for all the valuable inputs. This weekend, I will have all tolls ready and sit tight to try every possible ways one by one. Hope the problem will solve. Thanks again!
