Low Voltage Garden Lights
I bought a set of low voltage Brannam garden lights in their closing
down sale and find there are no instructions in the box. I cannot work out how to fit the cable to the lamps. The stop on the end of the cable stops it going through the hole near the lamp. There is a black plastic screw which seems to slide into this hole but does nothing. I guess it holds the canle in place. But how do I get the cable in please? |

The black plastic screw usually turns part way and forces the cable onto
sharp pins underneath the bulb holder. The cable would not go through the hole, does a tube come apart to allow a cable to be pushed up and bent over towards thes sharp pins? Or perhaps there are spaces either side the spike to allow the cablke to be routed up one side and back down the other, if you see what i mean. If you can find the maker of the set and search the internet and send link to them It may be possible to advise further.

Thanks for both replies, and for the advice about my email address.
I think Cineman has hit the nail on the head. I can take the tube off the spike and push the cable up the tube, then hold the cable in place with the screw - and it works. The only trouble is that I lose about 2 feet of cable or more for every lamp. However it must be the correct answer! I've now got to work out the exact positions before I start fixing the cable in place! Should be finished by winter.

in outlook express if thats what you use click tools accounts
news properties and in email box change to something totally ridiculous, your news reader will still take the posts from subscribed news groups. Doing this will cut the amouint of spam you are likely to get. regards Cineman. Glad that you have similar lights to mine this made it much easier..... "John" wrote in message oups.com...

Example Forte Free Agent available from:- http://www.forteinc.com/agent/download-all.php I suggest version 2.0 for simple usage. Since you are on blueyonder - why not use their news server:- news-text.blueyonder.co.uk Look on the blueyonder website for all the information:- http://www.blueyonder.co.uk/blueyonder/getContent.jspx?page=services_newsgroups or if wordwrap kills that:- http://tinyurl.com/mfdym Geo |
