SO that if this becomes a recurring problem, they can at least be silenced by removing the mains & the batteries.

You would need to remove the mains first before messing with anything mains powered.

If thats then case then they were battery powered ones, he would be for it if he left exposed connections from the mains.
Ring Fire Brigade they will install long life ones for free, in the correct place and will wait whilst you test them.

Not being disrespectful to flashy but how would she know she had removed the power?

She did the right thing and phoned Twin Valley, it must have been the right thing to do because it was my idea :rolleyes::D

I have seen them before where you can remove them by removing a screw and rotating them. They have touch proof connectors on them leaving them safe when removed.

Not at all, most people do not know how to and don't have the equipment to safely test a circuit for being live or dead.

You are a pain in the bum but I don't want you dead :rolleyes::D
