Presumably there must be a reason that they get good pay ??

Yes there is a reason. They have established a closed shop with total
market control.

** ROTFL

Completely absurd crap.


I reckon it's about time to lobby the governments to review the licensing
rules.

The fact that a person trained in the electrical and/or electronic field
is not allowed to even just replace a power point is plainly ridiculous.

You go ahead and fix that sun set switch then. If rules in NSW are
anything like in WA then don't forget to provide your electrical safety
certificate.

Anyone can *adjust* that damn thing.

And YOU only mentioned power point replacement - presumably in you OWN
place.

Who is gonna see a home owner do that or complain ??

Wanker.

Did you sort the sunset switch ??


** It ain't my switch.

It sits on the wall of the building and belongs to the Owners Corporation,
problem being it is sited in direct sun and controls both external and
internal (ie hallway) lighting.

The south side hallway and stairwell age no direct sunlight and are in near
darkness for up to an hour before the lights finally come on.

I estimate that sensitivity to light needs to drop by a factor of 50 or more
to correct this - so the hallway illumination will be about 50 lux instead
of 1 lux when the switch operates.

Semi opaque tape placed over the sensor helps, but needs to be replaced
regularly due to the effects of sun and rain.

OK, just thought you may have seen my post where I explained where the

adjustment is located.

** Yes, thanks for that.

Maybe I can get Strata management to do something.

** That is what HPM's advertising suggests.

If so, the unit is entirely unsuitable for the job it needs to do here.

try some spray paint. when you get the right level apply a few coats of
clear acrylic lacquer.

OTOH the sensor was probably installed in the wrong place, I'd not be
suprised it the HPM docs say to install it on a south-facing wall.

Even if you consider the Clipsal 56PEDD3 it is also a fixed setting. ON = 20
lux, OFF= 50 lux.
