I'd like the tubes in my lab replaced with LED's

Why?

To save the college money and every, every month I don't have to
report that a number of tubes are flickering or have now stopped
working.

Do you get your fittings and tubes from the very cheapest on Ebay?

you really are dim aren't you.

How many times have I said we can't order from ebay ?
Our finance department has banned us from ordering via ebay.

How many times do you need this explaining ?

Right. Just wondered where you got rubbish that failed so often?

What rubbish ones that fails so often,

So you were lying when you said :-

'To save the college money and every, every month I don't have to

I DO NOT buy those tubes yuo idiot the college suppllies them from wherever it gets them.
I have NO idea how long they last either having 80+ in the lab and 3 not working this week. Those loko a bit dim so could have been up there for 5 years or more.


you're the one that keeps
replacing bulbs and triacs not me.

Do I? But I'm not the one complaining about having to do it. Do you
remember what you post from one minute to the next?

Yes do you.
Did you not say you replace triacs .?


you mean the two or three 35w halogen ones that have blown since 2006/7
I wouldnlt say they keep blowing.

Thought you were talking about fluorescent fittings.

FFS.

At home I had 10 halogens installed in two light fittings.
since 2006/7 when I installed them up until last year I had 2 or 3 blow or should I just say stop working because ethey didnl;t explode or do anything exciting other than not work when switched on.
I do NOT think even 3 in in 9 years is a lot.

In my lab typically anywhere from 3 to 6 fluorescent tubes (not fittings)
go every year and replaced by maintanace, we do not have to pay for teh tubes
it is a central resource unlike teaching money which is what I spend on stuff for compnent & tool purchases .

Even some things that I do buy ahve to be paid for from a differnt grant if it's for a reaserch projects.
If/when I get a new computer for work at work it won't come from teaching money .
When we get the windows boarded up that won't come from teaching money.

When the new buildings (like our graduate centre) go up that isn't from teaching money either.

Do yuo really think they'll come to me saying you canl;t order any stripboard as we've spent all the money on the new graduate centre.
which is about 100 metres behind me.
