I put some flood lights up yesterday, the internals were crimped with this kind of connector, 3 of them fell of when I touched them :o I replaced every one in every light with chocky blocks.
-
Chinese ?. All the floodlights I've installed have had chock blocks already for the wiring connections. But I've had Chinese electrical fittings in the past where they've popped off, especially ceiling fans. Were they crimps or scruits ?.

Aren't they all?

Not done any for a couple of years, but you used to still be able to get British made.
Apparently Carbon8 & Dextra still manufacture in the UK along with several others.
-
Never seen any made in UK.
-
Steinel of Germany make some smart floods too. Did you use Halogen or LED ?.
-
LED
-
They're starting to make some really good LED units now & the prices are strarting to come down.
-
I got 2 10w units for £17 and a 20w PIR for £20 Much better than halogen, up the ladder every few months to change a bulb your not supposed to touch :D
If I hadn't been replacing the supply wire for a neater installation I think the crimps would still have been OK in years to come, not as if they get moved during use. 2 more to do but ran out of funds :'(

That's just bloody typical is'nt it.

mine came off ebay
-
Looked on eBay this morning, some good prices on floods. I've always bought mine from TLC since they opened a branch locally. Simply due to the fact that if there's any problems, I can just nip back & get a replacement and don't have an unhappy customer. The extra discounts I get from them make the choice a bit easier as well ;).
