Heard a story about a guy who found a large stash of cash in a street lighting column. Never came back to work the next day and left his mate in a lot of bother with the local drug dealers.

I got asked twice to change the lights to green today 😐

Just coming into the right time of year for it brother 😎

Hi Deftones, great band btw 😎 If you look at your existing fitting. The blue wire located to the right is terminated with the Live of the lamp. This is acting as your live switch (should be marked as such). This will be wired into the live of your new fitting and the other neutral to neutral...

Oh and each time my mate has had to call me in it’s been because a “qualified” domestic spark has made a mess and been kicked off the job 😂
