CRITICAL FACTS ABOUT SAFETY SWITCHES
Safety switches measure electricity flow to and from a circuit and disconnects the power from the circuit if 1/2 of what it takes to kill a person is lost from the circuit. 
50 milliamps of electricity stops a heart and 23 to 30 milliamps  trips a safety switch.

A lighting circuit protected by a 10 amp circuit breaker has 200 times the amount of current necessary to stop your heart and gives you no personal protection at all ! 
A circuit breaker can not tell the difference between you and electrical appliances however a safety switch will disconnect the power fast !

SAFETY SWITCH FAULT FINDING

IF YOUR SAFETY SWITCH TRIPS 

Try to reset it first, if it will not reset it is either

(A) a faulty appliance or lead. 
(B) a fault in the hard wiring.
(C) a faulty safety switch.

(A1) you should unplug all appliances from the wall ( dont just turn them off).
(A2) Reset the safety switch and start plugging the appliances back in 1 by 1.
(A3) The faulty appliance will self identify itself when the safety switch trips.

(A4) Unplug the faulty appliance and take it to an electrician for repair.
(A5) Then reset the safety switch again.
 

for (B) or (C) Call an electrician to find the fault.
Phone 0402004002 email stevemashford@hotmail.com
If you are having trips regularly this indicates there is something wrong.   

GOOD ADVICE
1) Install your fridges and freezers on separate safety switches.
This way if a trip occurs your food will not be spoiled.
2) One reason why safety switches trip infrequently can be if you have a 4 way Kambrook with surge protection plugged in and if there is switching in the supply lines or a lightning strike it can cause your supply voltage to spike briefly creating a earth leak from the surge protection 4 way Kambrook which results in the safety switch tripping.
Safety switch trips like these are a good thing because if there is a surge or lightning strike the safety switch will trip and all of your appliances will be disconnected from the mains supply and are less likely to be damaged from that dangerous surge voltage.

GENERATOR HOME CONNECTIONS

Its Cyclone season and your without power again !! 
Have a GENERATOR inlet socket connection added to your switchboard so when the town power or grid goes off, you will have power to run your fridge, lights and socket outlets....
I can rewire your existing main switchboard so you are never without power by installing a generator inlet socket.

L E D DOWNLIGHTS 13 watts

L E D Downlights 13watts  links   Home Electricity Audits

 Cairns Safety Switches

1) Front face available in White or Silver.
2) Available in Warm White - White or Cool White light.
3) 120 degree beam angle with even light dispersion.
4) Diffused lense for soft appearance - no harsh globe.
5) Electricity consumption is 1/4 that of Halogens lights.
6) L E D lights are 85% light and 15% heat.
7) Halogen lights   25 % light and 75% heat.
8) L E D lights are 4 times cheaper than halogen lights.
9) Electricity consumption is 1/4 that of Halogens lights.
10) Halogens create heat an airconditioner must cool.
11) Halogen lights are a fire risk.
12) This L E D comes with 3 light colours and is selectable on installation.






















- 13 watt - 120* beam - 1000 lumen output -
- 30,000 hour life expectancy.
- warm white - white - cool white light colors. 
- available in white and silver fronts.

 1)  LED average 13 watt light globe life expectancy = 30,000 hours.
 2) Halogen average 50 watt light globe life expectancy = 4,000 hours. (fair quality globe)
 3) There would be 7-8 halogens needed to be replaced in the life of a LED lamp.
 4) Cost of replacing  over an LED life, medium quality Halogen = $3.50 x 7.5 lamps = $26.
 5) Cost of halogens over 30,000 is  $4 cheaper but it costs more than $4 to go buy the halogen light globes and fit them in labour and fuel 
 HOWEVER
 6) The cost of running a LED is 25% of that of a Halogen.
 7) LED 30,000 hours life x 13 watts=390 kilowatts of power in a lifetime =$110 @ $.28/kilowatt hour.
 8) Halogen 30,000 hour life x 55 watts=1650 kilowatts of power in a lifetime=$462 @ $.28/kilowatt hour.
 9) $110 life cost LED divided by $462 = 24 % more efficient to run a LED light globe for equal light output.
 10) Did anyone ever tell you a halogen is 25% light and  75% HEAT.
 11) After having your Halogens switched on your air conditioner will have to take that heat from the room !
 12) The conclusion is from every halogen light you replace for a LED you will save $462-$110= $352 roughly not including the electricity saving from not cooling the heat produced by the Halogen lamps.
 13) This is merely a guess, if 50% of homes have some halogens, every time anyone replaces 1 halogen lamp the total $ saved in 1 LED lifetime is $352.
