Jazzman's electrical fittings

Legrand connectorsThai electricians generally twist wires together and cover the joins with insulating tape. More modern methods would be chocolate strip or caps which are squashed with a crimping tool. These Legrand connectors are a push fit and neither require a screwdriver nor a pair of crimping pliers. There are now also similar brands on the market. Print this photo and take it to your electrical store.jazzman

DownlightWe used these recessed ceiling downlights throughout the house. They'll take normal bulbs or energy-savers. Cost: Baht 38 each in GlobalHouse.jazzman

Small 50W dichroticI thought this would be a good idea for the lighting round the house in the soffit, but with 20 of them at 50W each that's too much to leave on all night. We used the 220V ones.The 12V versions one have the added expense and 50X is still 50W. We're going to change them for 5W energy saver bulbs in small recessed fittings. We're keeping the ones in the bathrooms.jazzman

Ceiling fanWe have two in the living room and one in each bedroom. Cost: 620 baht.
Sorry about the green hue - the color seems to get everywhere...jazzman

Wall extractor fanThis fan is only 28W but poweful and very silent. We have one in the bedroom it helps clear the perspiration on hot nights. Sorry about the green hue - the color seems to get everywhere...jazzman

Continental European 'Schuko' socket from BTicinoUnfortunately, only one socket module will fit into a an escutcheo/backplate assembly. Nevertheless, a very safe solution.jazzman

bTicino 3 module unitThis is the bTicino 3 module unit (without its escutcheon). Notice how it is not important in Thailand to have things nice and level. The modules in this unit are (from L to R) minature dimmer 480 baht each. Empty hole because this unit will receive a 2-hole escutcheon. 2-pin + earth version of the many different kinds of sockets used in Thailand, cost 42 baht
