Hi @TradieTrev Great question! The PE Cell activates between 30-60 Lux turning fitting ON, this is dependant on positioning and glare factors of installation. It also deactivates between 100-150 Lux switching fitting OFF, also dependant on the installation factors. :)

Thanks Ron, this is designed to give a quick sample of the main videos that you can view in the description

haha, we love it!

Hey Brad, depends on the location of installation but using heat shrink always looks better then open joints. Typically we cover ours with hot glue to prevent corrosion as many of our installations get installed on coastlines

Hey Shane, absolutely!

Hey Stewart, we have quite a few sparky's we can send you their details that have connected thousands of Blind Snakes and love using the product. We also have lots of commercial sites using thousands across the one installation with very few failures. If your having problems making connections I'd suggest you checkout this video for "Do's and Dont's" and common problems (ruclips.net/video/OxYC_h9SsYE/видео.html). The majority of bad connection happen when people don't push the cable into the tray or use the wrong cable. PM us if you want those Sparkys names, cheers

Nah, I became wiser!

Hey Andrew, the warning is on the box for anyone that hasn't watched the video or hasn't used them previously. We found that when someone hasn't done one of the aforementioned things they can fail to push the 2.5mm cable down far enough.

@@melec_aus ah OK thanks 👍

Hey Andrew, its a warning for anyone that has never connected blind snakes before. Your welcome to use the snake on 2.5mm cables found on this list www.melec.com.au/blind-snake/

Hey Trev, they are rubbish if not aligned correctly! That is why we spent extra on the guides to ensure they align well....

@@melec_aus I made this comment prior to having your device in my hot hands! Here's my factual response: She's a good looking fitting, I can see how having the led driver in the base could reduce the head size and also production costs. The proportions of the sensor and heads is quite aesthetically pleasing. Nailed the push connector, I normally hate those things. I'd still remove the screw on the choc block and manually push it on however so I can test. Why no cable retainer?; There's still plenty of room when you remove the inner shell?! Where's my earth terminal too as per as3000 5.4.3. I understand it's a double insulated light fitting, but this product wouldn't be helpful retrofitting when you got feeds, switchers and earths. You're not the only manufacturer skimming on this practice. No sparky would agree with your design, don't say electricians approve it. The sensor head is upside down for commissioning when mounted upon a soffit. This is utter crap for commissioning. It uses a 01c803 (mosfet?) with a lineout of only 46W? Manual said to include the fittings draw. Sensor IC is a 8 wire package EF-2S8 from "Energylux ES-P065". The electronics and the sensor lens always dies first, yet having a solid state switcher should be better yet you'll blow it upon with 3 position switches AUTO|OFF|ON being backfed. Looks cute and the push in connector works well, not impressed with the rest.

@@TradieTrev thanks for the reply! Earth terminal for looping is on it in the next batch which should help make things easier. 3 position switch was never our intention as not enough sparkies requested it when getting feedback. To save that, we opted to put a 'off-on-off-on' setup for manual override which confirms with a flash so people know the manual lock-on has occurred. This also avoids nuisance operations from power fluctuations. Happy to get feedback from all spark's and consistently improve, that is why we are getting the modification to the sensor competed as we speak! Tim

Good spotting!

Just had two come through the door from amazon to try, good bit of kit but too expensive (£13.15 for 2) compared to a wiska box and stuffing glands.

The 1 way box does fit more cables Trev but looks terrible next to a nice flood light!

@@melec_aus You got me there, your floodies are attractive hahaha

Hey Trev, next model is designed for loop in-loop out and sensor termination but this one was designed for end termination. You can also remove the terminal block tray with 2 screws and use it for soldered joints 👍

@@melec_aus Can't question using wagos; They're the bomb if you want to work fast!

Hey JuzzyQld, on site warranty does currently have a $9.95 admin fee but M-World is free to join. If you have had any failures, we are always hoping for feedback so we can improve our services and products. Please call us and ask for Tim or Wayne 1300 222 445
