Hi Jimca,

Goes without saying, have such a socket originally used for checking degauss function and mains bridge problems on tube tellies.

Have found with flat-screen stuff that the bulb flashes and set cuts to s/by indicating maybe no obvious initial problem, or remains on if the chopper snubber or drive is duff and that new power FET fitted is now solid copper.

Still use it though - saves on changing fuses - Chris.

too true on some of the wee stuff I change down to a 60w bulb doesn't let quite as much current thro before lighting up.
The only thing you've got to be aware of is some SMPS's won't come up with a load in series even if there's no fault, but then as I said it's a wee cheap save-all not fool proof but helps us fools !

Thanks for the tips guys, I will look a doing that. Haven't had any more time to play as of yet been a bit busy. Would buy a panel but they are a bit expensive and I haven't exceeded the price of a replacement in part costs yet, when I do I will consider.

Are there any images that I can use to refer to, to make this extension sound simple enough but want to be double sure after all it is electricity were messing with.

Don't have pics sorry, but it's very simple... get a 3 core bit of flex . cut it in half.Bare the 3 cores in one end of each of the 2 pieces to about 12 inches, cut the neutral and earth wires back to a length of about 2 inches. Get a mains jointing block, the type with the cable grips if you can get one, use this to join the neutrals and earths in the same way you would making a normal joint. bend the 2 long lives back out the ends of the cable grips . so you've joined the cable and closed the jointing box and your left with the 2 lives . Get a surface mounting Bayonet light fitting and secure it to a bit of board or your workstation whatever just so it don't move about, it will after all carry mains voltage. The 2 lives you have are now connected to the live and neutral connections of the light fitting. Fit a bulb ! wee sets about 60 w, med about 100w and the biggies like 42 plasma's etc you may even need to go up to a 150w ( please note these need to be filament bulbs not these energy savin florescent things ! )
So thats the middle part taken care of and your left with the 2 ends of the cable fit a plug to one end and a socket to the other and bobs your uncle you got a surge protector !

incidentally i haven't had the time to look them up to see what , if any , the difference is but I've got a couple of 17IPS02-1's , you can have one if you want to cover the postage. just google them for a diagram and check the outputs they look much alike....
