Malt 379 Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 I used to use halogen lights in the building trade. Temperamental fecking things at the best of times, always blowing at the slightest knock. I'd go in there and give it a few gentle knocks with a broom handle or something, it should blow, and no-one would know the difference, only don't whack the fecking thing so hard that you smash the glass lens!

If it's been on for days, it'll be hot as you like, spray it with the garden hose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mackem 28,540 Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Even when changing bulbs I always used to advocate latex-gloves,not for kinky perverse reasons but your leaving oil-residue from your fingers onto a bulb which when heating up can explode.They kick out some heat,probably why I used to do a roaring trade in extraction equipment and squirrel-fans Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Quasar 1 Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 as some one abive mentioned. There will/should 2 little knob dial on the back for timer/day/dusk put em on min or mist it - poof. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Coney 3 Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 you could always give it a helping hand with a water spray bottle, just a light mist should be enough to blow it without burning the house down and make it look like its blown itself, mind your eyes though!! the other thing to think of if you just take it out is hows it gonna look if they get burgled the day after you've taken there "security light" out i get one that shines right in my room everytime a cat or something comes in there garden, really is annoying, just cant get the right angle from the skylights to shoot the fucka though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
