  • Quinetic light switches work by magic. We've used the door contact version to switch a light on when we open the tool cupboard door. The switch harnesses kinetic energy when the switch is triggered sending a radio signal to the receiver which turns on the light.

      @gerhardschemel3565 those style cutters are meant to cut flush because of the thinness of the blade and the angled edge sits against the cutting surface. I'm not disagreeing with you.. I'm an industrial electrician who does a lot of work in panels/transformers and distribution cabinets... twisting off is best.. but sometimes u wanna just quickly nip and go.

      He's using a long-nib marker pen (drill-hole marker pen) to mark the locations, then an automatic centre punch (the gold one) to create a divot in the metal to stop the drill bit wandering. No through-hole is created in the metal until he starts drilling.

    No wires, no i.d. coding. Ive got some bike lights that run on these type of modular pcb. Your switch will turn random things on and off as well as your neighbours. My front light (non radio just on and off) switches my rear indicators on and off as well as the rear light (those two are remote operated). Cheap modular out of china is no good atm. Best avoided.
