Free: 240V Low Energy Bulbs (Westcliff-on-Sea (SS0)) Usual low energy fluorescent bulbs - all working - 1x Philips 8W, 2x Philips 11W, 1x LUMIN 20W, 1x Mazda 18W. The Mazda bulb comes in two parts - see photo - the base, plus the bulb that has a weird square socket.

3h

Free: 240v 6W Candle style LED bulb (Westcliff-on-Sea (SS0)) Similar size to usual candle style bulbs - it gives quite an intense white light. There is a spare plastic cover too so you could experiment with colouring the cover :o)

3h

Free: TESCO 240v LED Bulb (Westcliff-on-Sea (SS0)) Slightly larger than a standard lightbulb - 2p coin shown to give comparative size. Used but still working. A warm general light, I'd guess about a 40W equivalent, light radiates around the whole glass area.

Free: 240v bayonet fitting LED Bulbs (Westcliff-on-Sea (SS0)) Gifted I've added a 2p to indicate size - they are quite large bulbs, a bit bigger than the equivalent filament bulbs we're used to. They provide quite a bright white light, mostly above the centre line. They're not marked with a light rating, but I'd guess about 60W equivalent.

Free: GU10 5W LED bulbs (Westcliff-on-Sea (SS0)) Promised As seen in photo - they were working when removed from fitting. These can be used to replace other 240v GU10 fitting bulbs - and they run at cool temperatures unlike the usual Halogen bulbs. 5W in LED terms is about 60W equivalent i think

3h

Free: Fence Post repair spur (Westcliff-on-Sea (SS0)) See photo. Used once for a short time until post replaced, so plenty of life left in it.

Free: GU 10 Halogen lamps (Westcliff-on-Sea (SS0)) 10x GU 10 (240v) lamps. Halogen filament Working, but not needed, as replaced by LED equivalent. Note that these generate heat so can only be used in fittings designed for them (i.e. you shouldn't retrofit them into a fitting designed for LED lamps)

Free: Cisco Switch (Westcliff-on-Sea (SS0)) Cisco Catalyst 2950 series. Rack mounting size 445mm x 238mm x 44mm 240v AC 12(no) RJ45 ports 10Base-T / 100 base-TX all on front panel. It is set up so that you can provide an etehrnet feed from your router, using a crossover cable (1 have one available if needed) and then link up to 11 devices using standard UTP drop cables. Or if you want to delve into the Cisco world, it can be programmed to do more. The only drawback is that the fan produces a background 'hum' which is not excessively 'noisy' but enough to be a noticeable distraction in a quiet office. If mounted in an equipment cabinet it wouldn't be a problem.

Free: Decorative chippings (Westcliff-on-Sea (SS0)) Gifted 2 bags of decorative (granite?) chippings, one bag now split and the other starting to discolour (or maybe the bag is?) You can open the bag and check if you like. These are the sort of thing you put on flowerbeds or pot plants. Space now needed for wheely bins !!

Request: wifi router (Westcliff-on-Sea (SS0)) Received Has anyone got an old wifi router they no longer need? I just want to set up a closed network to test things on. Preferably a generic (TP Link etc) type rather than a 'Sky' Router as I don't need to be nagged to connect it to the internet every time it reboots! Power supply useful but not essential. TIA
