I'm actually impressed that it still lights up after that amount of thermal abuse!Stolen from internet - landlord tried to swap an oven bulb with an LED bulb from poundland:
You would have to be quite stupid to think that soft plastic would survive the temperatures found in an oven. That's an amazing bulb to still be working!Stolen from internet - landlord tried to swap an oven bulb with an LED bulb from poundland:

Suspended ceilings have always been the best place to hide the worst workmanship!!View attachment 111758View attachment 111760View attachment 111761
Suspended ceilings are classed as an enclosure, aren't they........? And it seems standard T&E clips are rated for prevention of premature collapse during a fire, especially when the fire barrier has been smashed up!
According to the landlord I’m too thorough.Suspended ceilings have always been the best place to hide the worst workmanship!!

That looks like fp200 fire alarm monkey cable.Saw some similar junctions recently. Why worry about fireproof enclosures or connectors, when you can use plastic and not need to worry about screwing on a lid.
Conductors don't appear as though they were ever pushed into that box.

Still plenty of it about, earlier this week found this:Wagos are great but I've heard many people say "they are enclosed so don't need an enclosure". But its better than connector blocks wrapped in tape that used to be the norm before I guess!

Is that not sy oh why?Seen it plenty of times, most recently all the lighting system in a small steel foundry plant.
YY oh Why???
May be, but can't see any sign of braiding on the photo,Is that not sy oh why
Braid should be earth through appropriate sy gland, not shoved into the earth bar as I see so often.I'll be taking the lid off next week, I bet the braid isn't connected.
Just noticed the 5 pin 32A sockets haven't got RCD protection either, and there are rubber extension leads all over the floor with various steel items everywhere.
I think it's better unearthed along with the conductors and thrown in the binBraid should be earth through appropriate sy gland, not shoved into the earth bar as I see so often.
Its a wet roomonly problem might be the IP rating will probably only apply if fitted to a flat surface
A small shower install you have to live the decor!View attachment 112064
Its main use is for the kids to climb to reach the showerMost ingenious.......with that cable ladder rack.
I think Artist is a very loose description of what Tracy Emin does, beggars belief she has been appointed professor to the "Royal College of Art" ?If an artist can display a messy bedroom as art, then surely that board must be a winner!
