A bright idea for consumer units

[ppppenguin]

We stayed in a Travelodge recently. Out of curiosity I opened the consumer unit in our room. And a light came on! A strip of LEDs and a small battery allowed you to see what you were doing even if the premises were in darkness.

I've not heard of CPN Cudis before and have no idea if they are any good.

Prices (you have to look elsewhere to find them) seem lower than major brands such as Schneider and Crabtree. Comparable to Fusebox where I've been looking at their 3 phase boards for the Broadcast Engineering Museum: https://www.consumerunitworld.co.uk/fuse...-470-c.asp

Brilliant!

I like the little pictures which help indicate the different circuits too. They may not be original but it does make things easier in dim light.

AFAIK, all new consumer units come with a sheet of stickers to help identify circuits.

That's answered a question.
We've only stayed in a Travelodge once, (over a decade ago) never again.
The beds were terrible, maybe the money went elsewhere?
Much prefer Premier Inn.

All the Travelodges I've stayed in (and it's been quite a few) have been comfortable with one exception. Brighton Central about 10 years ago was horrible and dingy. Ruth and I are fairly fussy about our bed but never had a problem with Travelodge mattresses.

Only stayed in Premier Inn a couple of times. All good, including a problem in one this year that they put right with an excellent response. The sort of response that makes you want to stay with them again.

Some hotels have a card key slot that turns on the room's electrics. I suppose it stops you leaving things switched on while you're out .
