Just a 4 gang IEC distribution block, B. Useful though.

 

What's the advantage of that over a standard multi-gang plug socket thingamajig?

 

Cheers for that, makes sense. Presumably it's for stuff that takes kettle leads only (so PSUs, monitors, laptop power adaptors etc)?

 

Tempting, is it possible to turn off that god awful blue light on the sub with out attacking it with some side cutters?

 

Yup, two taps of a button on the soundbar or remote control

And here's set one (The Lounge)



And set two (The Man Cave)

 

Oh, that's a lot smaller than I was expecting.

 

Small in size, HUGE in quality sound

 

Good God, man! You need a new tele. They’re so cheap right now!

 

That's TV number two my dear B

Ps. For the record it's an LG 32LG6000 Scarlet, it's a retro thing (I quietly curse LG it won't die) - I'll take it to a charity shop when I do replace it, it's just to good a panel to just bin it and likely has years of life left in it.

 

Sorry pet peeve of mine, when people use defined terms incorrectly.
Referring to standard computer power cables (IEC 60320 C13/C14) as kettle cords is incorrect. The C13/C14 cable insulation is not rated for the higher temperatures when boiling water. IEC 60320 C15/C16 are your kettle leads, they have a notch between the the Line/Neutral pins preventing the use of a C13 connector in a C16 socket (but a C15 connector can be used in a C14 socket).

David's distribution block should be describes as a 1x C13 (in) to 4x C14 (out), with 4x C13 to C14 cables. I might have the intermediate socket and plugs Identified wrong as they might be Sheet F and Sheet E respectfully (I am not an expert of IEC 60320).

I am not sure what the block box on the top right is.

 

I've got one of those, but in the 37" flavour. Still works perfectly, but it's not my main set any more.

 

Yeah, right.

 

Thanks for the pedantry, Dr. Coin. Fortunately @Gareth Halfacree was able to parse my question and answer it despite it not being technically correct.

 

Just recently sold mine for £20 to someone local after many years of service. Wouldn't surprise me if it outlasted it's replacement though

 

Sod it, for less than a ton, and because it'll just fit I went up a size to the JVC TH-D357B 2.1 Wireless Sound Bar

 

Let us know how you find it, in terms of bang per buck I can’t rate mine highly enough.

 

When night fishing I can hardly see my rod tips so

Issue resolved.


Also upgraded my head torch, Not completely confident about having 18650s strapped to my head either so I'll just have to check the batteries over before every trip.


RAVPower Wireless Charger Qi - hopefully, avoid damaging the cable port on the phone.
