Maybe they thought you were a "thailandroadblock". Probably just wanted to see if you a fixed roadblock or mobile.

G'day ya self.

Another Aussie here. I had the same problem. Tried Homepro & Global House without any luck. Eventually found one in the local mum & pop hardware shop. I had to locate it myself, they had no idea what I was raving on about. Like said above, you'll have to purchase a universal wooden handle seperate. I had to trim the handle down to fit.

Looks like your photo was taken at Bunnings.

Cheers..... Mal.

The battery in these particular lights is 1.2v.

I'm not an electrician & know very little about this stuff... but... I'd say the LED's are rated at wharever wattage they are, & inasmuch increasing the battery voltage won't increase the brightness.

Running 2 batteries to the one LED might increase the running time ??? I haven't tested my system as yet, only finished it yesterday, but I'd guess a fully charged battery will run 1 LED for more than 12 hours.

The battery, 1.2v, in my system is same as a normal AAA rechargeable battery. So, if you have a universal type charger I guess you could charge as many batteries as you want.

I'm happy if someone likes to correct me. Like I said, I know bugger all about this stuff. I just had an idea, played about a bit & works ok. It's just a bit of a novelty thing. With the 2 LED's outside the actual spirit house, theylight up inside reasonably well. The light is visible from over 50m.

Cheers..... Mal.

Thanks guys.

Bought a couple of cheap solar garden lights from Global House. Removed the solar panel, that also houses the battery. Have the cables running inside the spirit house, not visible from outside. Extended cables so solar panels now located on a fence post a few meters away from the spirit house. LED's positioned in the verandah roof of the house. The locals are somewhat impressed.

I use to buy 10 + liters from Makro to bipass the "time rule". Now the 10 liter purchase has to be with an alcohol resellers license to take advantage of buying any time. Bummer !

"Ta admitted to his crime"..... how come every arrested person admits to the crime ?

Just wondering.

Thanks guys, much appreciated.

Hi all.

I realise this isn't the correct area for this topic, but I'm sure a mod will be along shortly to move to appropriate department.

I'm about to place a "spirit House" in our new garden. As an extra, I've thought of installing a small overhead light to highlight said house. Maybe even a minature light inside to keep the spirits company. I'm not familiar with solar, but moderatly experienced with 12v lighting.

I'd appreciate any ideas, advice. Thought 1 was a 12v car battery to power the lights. How long do you think a fully charged car battery would last, powering 2 small LED's for a few hours every night ? I guess I'd need a trickle charger to top up battery charge.

Idea 2 was solar. Absolutely NO idea where to start looking... or what to look for.

I trust I've supplied sufficient details for some advice.

Thanks in advance.

I think you've been hitting the "juice" a bit too much.

If you've figured out how to ride a bike, isn't it about time you figured out how to care for it ?

Just wondering.

Why not buy the truck you want, need, & have the suspension modified... lowered ?

I think you'll find the suspension mods will be less expensive than power up mods.

Just a thought.

Cheers..... Mal.

Great idea. I wouldn't be without mine. If you like to PM me I'll give you details of BKK supplier & contact.

Cheers..... Mal.

Hi all.

I've recently laid a small area of lawn, about 50sqm.

I've never remotely considered an electric lawn mower...... BUT..... with the small area I have to mow & the price difference, what's the general opinion of electric mowers ? I have a power outlet close by so no long extension leads needed. I guess an old fashion push mower is another option.

I'm sure someone is going to say I should have put down concrete & painted it green or laid synthetic grass. It's mainly for the grandkids to roll & play on... so grass it is.

Any advice appreciated..... Cheers..... Mal.

I drive ,its not a problem

Maybe the OP doesn't have a car or a license or a sense of direction.

Have you Googled it ? I had set top box & dish installed on the Gold Coast about 3 years ago.... from memory was about $500 all up, installed.

Try this.... http://www.satpro.com.au/index.php/thai/ If this is no good PM me & I'll try & dig up some info on my installation.

Cheers..... Mal.

It is what it is....... get over it !

"anyway trying to cut this story short," Thanks for not giving us the LONG version.

"Actually I have no clear idea of the distance between Don Muang and Swampie so it's hard to estimate"

Ever heard of Google ? Marvellous site for all sort of info. Just a thought.

Tops, Tesco, Makro.

Probably a good chance you'll find some in Bavaria & other international locations.... just a guess.

Hello,

That's why I only fly business class, less hassle and more leg room!

Well, aren't you just precious, only flying business !

That is not a steel "pipe".

It is structural steel, not intended to transport liquid or gas.

That said, my wife and I saw this on the television news yesterday. We discussed the various ways this could have had a very different (worse) outcome...someone in that seat, the load-carrying truck being one meter to the right, or the Toyota being a meter left, etc etc.

It would definitely be a <deleted> moment.

To be pedantic it's actually called Box Section.

To be more pedantic, it's actually called RHS.

Round Hollow Section

Sorry ol mate... but it's (SHS) square hollow section.

Recently had a split system installed. 2000 baht with 12 month writen warranty. Why even consider purchasing the tools & equioment for a DIY ?

Any chance you might be related to villageidiot ?
