Hey folks,

Can anybody clarify if these are safe to use in the uk? I know they aint sold here as the law/legislation/whateverthefuck is quite strict...dont want to use them and cause a fire!

I did post this question up somewhere...but since the change to RIUv2 fuck knows where it is haha!

All advice/opinions are welcome

haha, i guess they are illegal based on our 240v wall outlets, as oppsoed to their not as powerful wall sockets. i've never been able to find any useful info as to why they are not sold, but all i kow is they aren't.

i can only assume that it is probably for a good fire and safety based reason.

personally i wouldn't use unless you know an electrician or there is an alectricians shop where you can get a solid factual answer other than morning mumbojumbo. sorry i can't be more help

yeah tip top i've been screwed a couple of times but the people that did it are still in hiding, ive got a very long memory and an inversely proportionate temper but its just an occupational hazard, i've actually started to veiw it as the equivalent of paying income tax. i reckon ive maybe lost around 5% of my income so i dont really dwell on it and thers been a few times where ive seen it as a positive thing e.g ive given some fuckin halfwit £20 quids worth of tick and they've fucked off and i never have to see them again, cheap at twice the price. it doesnt happen much now but i got a little over extended when i first stared, just the learning curve i suppose. i was making the move up the tree from dealer to supplier but it was more hassle than it was worth so i just steped back down and to be honest the amount of tension it removed from my day to day life was amazing, i had been so wrapped up in it i was oblivious to everything else in my life. i just stick to a select group with maybe a handful of other semi regular contacts although i'm still in the position that i kinda know everything that goes on locally and i may pick up a few quid helping people make connections and introductions sorta like a handling fee but my new plan is to increase growing to the point where i'm solely doing that but spaced in various locations whereby if one grow get turned/fucked/ripped off ive still got the others to fall back on, and the fact that even in the worst case scenario the court case wont involve jail time, whereas the charlie/ecstasy game is a virtually gauranteed jail sentence. and im too fuckin old now to be arsed with that.


hey imanoob i dont think youll have any probs with ur light fitting because i believe they were removed from sale because of the heat issues resulting from normal light bulbs used not the modern cfls that we use in growing nowbut just to be on the safe side u should maybe test them out with alittle 3 day observation experiment using a small chamber with a thermometer in it and just check, i'll as my electrician mate when i see him later on as he'll provide expert knowledge on the subject, btw what did u pay for them mate?

true story btw

ex girl woke up one morning and looked at me and asked ' did you have a wank while i was sleeping??'
i said ,rather sheepishly, that i had coz i didnt want to wake her up, so she gets all huffy and says' for fuck sake what better than shagging your girlfriend???'
quick as a flash i replied 'Shaggin sumone else's'

hence the ex

I caught a burglar in my house last night trying to rob my tv. I kicked the absolute shit out of him and fucked him into the street.

I could tell from the way he used his arms to protect his head that it wasn't the first time a home owner had given him a beating. The rape, on the other hand, was a whole new experience for him...
