I wasnt expecting a top quality product for that money, I just wanted to
run
some lights in my garage as it is a rented lockup away from the house and
doesnt have mains electricity.

Can definately vouch for the voltage fluctuations, sometimes the light is
barely lit. One one occasion it decided to rev itself up at which point the
100W bulbs got very bright then went *POP*. Of course, by this time I had
clambered over all sorts of c*** and was right at the back of the garage in
total darkness :-(

Luckily I had my keys in my pocket which had one of those LED keyring
torches on them.

Regards

Keith
