probably cheaper than a former next-door neighbour, newly moved to the
area, found that people were wearing sports jackets (in the 1960s) with
leather patches on the elbows. So he went out and bought a new sports
jacket and had leather patches added.

That means they won't wear through. In a decade he can remove the patches and he's still got a brand new jacket.

leather patches to hide then fact the elbowshad worn out beofre the rest of

Some "chinese english" instructions for an automatic light switch, needless to say I did not attempt to follow them during the installation....

The surface design is facility, comely but not losing generosity, it will not have accidented feeling after installation.
Wide working voltage: you will not be worried when you go all over Europe carrying it.
You could fix the sensor with two screws on the junction box in circular one, also fix it with special installation shelf.
In a word, whether the junction box installation orientation is true, it makes the installation flatly.
The lamp will be on automatically when you knock at the door or say "I am coming back".
It will make your home warmer and more romantic.
Penetrate the setscrew into installation hole, block on radiator to aim at the installation hole on connection box.
Let electrician or experienced human install it.
The unrest objects can't be regarded as the installation basis-face.
Don't open the case for your safety if you find the hitch after installation.
If there is any difference between instruction and products, please give priority to product, sorry not to inform you again.

The use of hi viz vests are a joke. Driving examiners wear then on the "show
and tell" part of the driving test. People sat in parked cars doing traffic
surveys wear them. Teachers wear then when taking kids on outdoor trips.

Hi viz should be worn only when needed. BTW In my van I carry the following
hi viz kit - 3 vests (2 of them are spares for the apprentices) 1 wateproof
pair of trousers (used more for wet weather than for safety) and a
waterproof jacket (again worn more to keep dry and warm than for safety
reasons). I seldom have to wear the stuff at work for safety reasons - even
on building sites

I also have a set of waterproof overalls at home - but they must have shrunk
in the wash as they longer fit me..
