I have a Lidl unit that measures how much electricity something is using - <br> it also measures the 'Power Factor' <br> My reading is that a Power Factor of 1 is good and 0.5 means it is using <br> twice as much electricity as it needs to. Am I correct? <br> I also read (I'm planning to give up reading) that you can adjust the Power

The advert talks about temperatures in an oven - can it measure the temp <br> inside the oven?

Right option. Put the amp as near the aerial as is convenient. <br> <a target="_blank" rel=nofollow href="http://wiki.diyfaq.org.uk/">[link]</a> <br> Click categories in the left hand menu, then see 250, then TV <br> NT <br> Thanks for that.

For slatted ones, I usually tape em into a lump and chop them with the <br> SCMS. The carbide tipped blade will go through pretty much anything if <br> you take it gently.

Seems like it... <br> he does not seem to want to reply to the posts that would actually <br> engage him in meaningful dialogue either, which is a shame if he really <br> is a good as he thinks he is.

Two chandeliers, one small, one medium. At present they're on chains <br> from a screwed in hook plate, with a tin bucket rose over chocolate <br> block. <br> For easier cleaning I'd like to replace this with a slide-in <br> connector. Klik do their well-known one, there's also the Lewden <br> ceiling maestro that TLC sell.

Easy yes, but it will also _encourage_ corrosion. You're using an <br> acid process (it doesn't work without a splash of conc sulphuric acid <br> in there too) and this will lead to sub-plating pitting developing, <br> eventually breaking through. <br> If you want to copper plate, your easiest approach is often to nickel
