Not changed ours in many years and it gets a lot of use via a movement sensor.....

yeah they don't do munitions sadly

We have agro with a local Tom cat. Keeps jumping over the fence and scrapping with our two or trying to get in the cat flap, which is magnetic entry.

Although the two outside lights have been failed for a while. Steam from the new boiler in the garage cooked the motion sensitive one, and the bulbs are forever blowing in those Halogen spot lights. So we couldn't see what was going on in the garden. Sorted now though.

I just can't believe how expensive B+Q are!

These ones?

I thought their prices were OK till I discovered 'Screwfix' so now, go to b&q to see what I want and then buy from Screwfix which is almost next door to them.....

It nearly always is cheaper at screwfix, however on some items you need to buy larger quantities whereas b and q tailor more to the amateur DIY brigade that only want to pay for seven screws instead of a box of a hundred.

I agree but there is a limit, when b&q want about £9.00 and you can get it a Screwfix for £3.50 that is enough shopping around for me.....

[mantahatch]

These ones?

I find the 500w ones last about 2 minutes. But if you drop to the 150w ones they seem to last forever. And light difference seems minimal. Might make a difference if you use them to work by, but just as security lights they are fine.

The trouble with ShitFix around here is you have to venture into the land of the inbreds (Banbury)

My bank gives me cashback when I shop at B&Q, but doesn't overcome the inflated prices.

Tell your fat boy to go out and sort out the other moggie once and for all - its his kingdom, he should rule, fat greedy tinker (don't tell Mrs CG I said that )

Wanted a Euro lock barrel for a relative at the weekend. B&Q had all of 2 sizes, way too long for the application.

Went to Screwfix and they had exactly the same one as B&Q, in a much wider variety of sizes, for a third of the price.

I think B&Q is now a soft furnishings boutique for the BMW driving types. The useful stuff is disappearing fast from the shelves to be replaced by overpriced tat, coffee shops, etc.
