Major Clanger (Chartered Electrical Engineer) strikes again

Today I discovered that the shaving light in my bathroom has two microswitches set up so that if the translucent cover is not perfectly in place the power to the light tube is isolated.

This of course took me two days, a new light tube and increasingly confused investigation with a multimeter to work out.

Oh well, at least I now have a spare 12" strip light should the current one actually blow.

"Dear Major Clanger

Please help me. The light in my fridge seems to be permanently turned on. This can't be right, surely?

Yours

Me"
