[QUOTE="Mike Diack, post: 73532, member: 144"] Re: Home building/living suggestions wanted. Yup,incandescents used to be a reqular item on the shopping list - no more, but the light sucks. To that end I started replacing GU10 IC lamps with the LED equivalents, but the failure rate is appalling. Not the LEDs themselves but the tiny little inverter in the base, which has an electrolytic cap which dries out in this hot environment. I love the 5800K LEDs for reading and working but the manufacturers really need to do better. Two other thoughts on housebuilding / renovation. 1: Cat5 EVERYWHERE 2: At least 190mm windowsills (we used 140mm and the cats do not approve). M [/QUOTE]
