I've smashed the LED bulb on my lathe but it still works, just have to not touch it while its onLED all the way - I'm very disappointed in the florescent tubes I had put in the new workshop. Poor output, mess with my auto-dimming lid and I've already smashed one by accident.
Hi Paul, that can indeed happen, the Lorch M Pro welders have something built in which stops that happening.Be careful with LED lighting, might just be us, but we're now on our third set which are waiting to be changed yet again. After a couple of months they started flashing then died. No one knew why.... Now they say 'have you got any three phase motors in the building?'. Yup, every machine has one. Apparently they send a back current which kills them. It's like a disco in our workshop.
If the new fitting is metal it will probably require an earth wire as well@500e,
Thanks for that.
My garage just has a single bulb hanging from the ceiling, so I can just cut the bulb holder and connect live and neutral to the new led fitting?
