[QUOTE="Lurch, post: 441440, member: 6967"] Unfortunately they don't make things like they used to. I fitted some mixed flow fans on a job and had to go back 3 times because they would apparently not turn on for the customer. Eventually took 2 new ones with me just in case and discovered that there were a couple of components missing on the control PCB. What did I get for the hassle? ****** all. Some things are just accepted as being the norm these days as well. Photocells used to have the hex recess in the bottom for your locknut, it's hard work finding ones with this in them nowadays, I have had quite a few that don't have this and just have a plain bottom. Not the end of the world but a PITA at times. Fitted a wireless room stat the other day, one of the segments on the display stopped working after 15 minutes, had to go and get a replacement, at my own expense. You could probably set up an entire forum dedicated to this subject, would be interesting to keep track of who/what turns up faulty and see what the cost to trades[S]men[/S]people is. [/QUOTE]
