catman161 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 You need one of the world famous Ibbo tins! They work first time every time without risk of prosecution. On that subject. I take it this is the headlight in a tin can on end of extendable fishing pole thing-am I right? What length pole is required for a standard street light? And are the sensors just directly on top of the light? Is it legal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyboy1970 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Apparently shining a laser at the sensor turns them off, but you didn't hear it from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you do that of the sensors are on top of the lights? Have you rigged some complex mirror system Andy? Cos I'll do it to very light around my yard, just tell me how!

andyboy1970 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I know someone on another forum shone the laser from his upstairs window. The council came round to fix the light several times and couldn't figure it out. He thought better and contacted the council who put a shield on the light for him.

Guest paul j Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 looking good.it's gonna be a great astro shed .I cladded outside of mine with pvc cladding help weather proof it bit too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red dwalf Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 i thought about that Paul, my brother in law has just done the outside of his garage with it and it looks nice although very white, also i had enough good cladding to do two side which is why the rest isn`t done yet. can`t make up my mind how big to make the door width, it`s 3 foot wide at the moment but looks alittle big.
