DTDP switch

[zoidberg]

Well, do I heave 'em.... does someone want them.... do I try to find a use for them?

12v relay, with 6 tags its possibly DP CO, like the last one.

What the rest of us do, keep it until you find a use for it. IF you throw it away that will guarantee in a couple of weeks time you find a use for it and wish you still had it.

You can't be that short of space they have to go surely?

 

[zoidberg]

Yes, ProDave.... I know you're right. But HerIndoors don't......

I'm told I need to make space for more 'justincase' bits.

See post #19, no need for "possibly"

And the final result advice...chuck it ol'will

That is, of course the best way of ensuring you'll find a use for it next week

I know that it's probably using about 75 mA when energised, but for the occasional few nights at anchor it was worth it not to have to change how the switch panel looks (and overall it will still use less power than the previous incandescent 25W bulb did).

Must correct myself.

Although energising the relay coil does use about 75mA, the previous combined masthead fitting actually had two bulbs. The 25W would have been the tricolour. The anchor light would only have been 10W.

Replacing with the NASA unit plus a relay is still an energy saving though

If you used a latching relay you wouldn't get the current loss.
