[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 505022, member: 1408"] I posted this before but its worth airing I think. I did a few months with a large local contractor who tended to treat their staff like shytte . This was the story I heard . At the end of a new build supermarket project one of the sparks gets redundancy just after handover . As the following year progressed the supermarket kept having a couple of rows of flush fluorescent lighting go out at different times . The firm kept sending guys back but the lights would usually be back on by the time they turned up . They spent the whole installation guarantee year sending guys back , costing a small fortune . There was no logic to the lights going out or coming back on , supermarket not happy. It was finally discovered that someone had wired in a time switch ,hidden in the false ceiling , the drive of which was connected to the switch wire of a store cupboard light ...obviously turned on & off all the time so it turned randomly and was switching the feeds to the two rows of lighting . Before anyone dives in ...no it wasn't me . [/QUOTE]
