ScottyUSN asked:

I’ve added a luggage case to my Suzuki DL650. The case come with a built in added light kit. The case two wire system taps into the existing bikes brake light wires.

I attach the wires as directed, and I’ve tried both options possible with the wires. The results remain the same.

Light kit has power (lights up) But when the brake is applied the new light kit goes out instead of getting brighter.

Again this result is the same regardless of which wire combo I use.

Thanks for any help!

Not advocating using more coal but after all most of the electric power is from coal.

Did I get ripped off by an electrician?

Romeo_Svengali asked:

Recently I needed some work done on an outlet, a switch, and two lights in my garage. Essentially I just needed the whole thing wired correctly so that all the components worked.

The only guy I could get to answer his phone, let alone pay me a visit, was a “master electrician” whose card I found on a corkboard in a local coffee shop.

The guy was very pleasant and professional, but he charged me $285 for about 15 minutes worth of work and no parts. I’m rationalizing to myself that I couldn’t have done the work myself, and given how hard it’s been even finding an electrician, I was better off paying what he asked than getting a bunch of people to come give me estimates over a period of a week or so.

But bottom line: did I get ripped off?

big head asked:

Whole house electric wires damage, no outlet and switch were working, looks like they pull the wire from the main switch or from roof. Usually cost how much, what will the electrician tell us? What are the questions to ask?
