I fitted roof lights to the landy, and half sorted out the wiring. too dark to do the rest of the wiring now.

I thought why use one relay when three will do. Anyway, I hope the effect I am looking for will work.

WTF are you trying to light and with the relays are you pumping out 75 watts or so per light?

On a relay note, I could not find Bosh relays locally I went to three shops and a couple of stereo shops... had to settle for Chinese made crap.

55W per light. I wanted a DPDT relay but they did not have one so ended up with 2 SPDT instead. The 3rd relay is actually a SPST Relay but I copied and pasted the image of the other 2. I am hoping the half brightness part of it works.

Were they Bosch? Or since it was a Landy, you're already comfortable with the thoughts of crappy electronics? :hehe: I don't think I've ever seen a DPDT relay in my life that would have saved me countless hours in retrospect. :hehe:

I worked late due to a mind fart by someone in transport. :banghead: Look on the bright side though - I finished at 6.45 but will be paid until 8, and it'll be at overtime rates. :thumbup:

Yeah, but with ice? :headshake:


Of course wih ice. What would you prefer, tap water?


Neither of course!


Well, for many reasons, you are wrong. The main one being I PREFER it wih a single cube of ice. If that troubles you..... well there is not much I can do about it.
