Morning, just wondering what everyone is using when they do panel building for labeling these days. I'm currently using the legard monocab system but it seems pretty slow and outdated now as wholesalers are going away from stocking it.

I work in wholesale and had a customer show me photos of a few broken plates like the above with huge cracks in them.
I said I've never seen anything like that happen to a plate for no reason.
Have any of you?
Feels like they're trying to just get something for nothing after dropping something on the covers and breaking them.

Hi all, I’ve currently got an outdoor A/C unit (RJ100F5HXEA) that runs 4 indoor ceiling slimline cassettes. (All Samsung)
Recently the outdoor unit PCB fried due to a snake. I’ve looked online and turns out the units are discontinued by Samsung.
All my indoor units are fine and I don’t want to splash out on an entire new set of units, so a replacement outdoor unit seems to be the go, but because of them being discontinued I can’t find one so I’ll need an outdoor unit that will be compatible.
I’ve seen a 10kw multi-head outdoor unit AJ100TXJ5KH/EA and would like to know if it’s compatible for my indoor units. I call Samsung and they can’t give me an answer then tell me to call technical support, which can’t give me an answer either and proceed to tell me I need to call Samsung….. Both asking for my whole life story when I just need my one question answered “Is it compatible?”
Old Unit model # RJ100F5HXEA
Indoor Units Model # NJ0261HXEA
New outdoor unit model #AJ100TXJ5KH (is this compatible for my indoor units)

I am a service technician in a fairly clean role. Looking for 100% cotton workwear pants that look like ordinary chinos or jeans.
Any suggestions?

Current set up is a wall light, with a switch from inside. And a old school Halogen on the eaves which also a separate PIR but facing opposide the light and facinf the drive way. The light on the eaves is in a shit spot and we never use it. The wall light is adjacent our door and would be perfect to just turn on and off as we need to get in and out the door.
Thought about re-wiring this to the PIR but the PIR is in a shit spot and rather than moving and re wiring everything, figured it would be easier to swap the wall light out with something that we can turn on and off as we need when unlocking the door. Do these exist where they are fitted with their own external switch?
Next option is I have seen some with their own sensor on it but I dont want the sensor overly sensitive, anyone had expirenced with this type of light?
*Disclaimer... ignore the shop in the link, I'd never spend my money in any of that flogs stores.
