PJF Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I have had this argument a few times. We have a customer who will not let us fit IR PSUs outside, p-cell is extended to the outside . So on many occasions the pre-wired lead is not long enough, I extend it using 2.5mm flex and the lamp life is as normal as can be. For other customers, if Im fitting a camera on a wall with IR. The PSU will be along side of it, so the lead to the lamp is to long. Do you cut it short or try and make the excess look as neat as poss. Top tip: if you ever catch fire, try to avoid seeing yourself in the mirror, because i bet thats what REALLY throws you into a panic and dont forget the one thing you cant recycle is wasted time.

Guest The Installer Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 yes, if i'm correct these housings have a track on the underside for the bracket to slide on, if you use a 12mm hss bit towards the front of the track and then take a 25mm length m6 bolt and grind down the head so it is flater it should slide down the track allowing you to fix the lamp to it hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJF Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 You may struggle with the weight of the lamp, the pivot joint is at the rear. I suppose it can be done but it will have to be mega tight on the allen bolt.
