You say the board was off but the main switch was still up

Nice VID. Tought that the light ZS was 5.87?

[@HeritageElectrical]

Hi mate, thanks for the comment. You're correct: 7.28 is the 100% value, however we take the 80% value as a maximum measured which is about 5.8 to account for temperature fluctuations, installation considerations etc. I don't know why we have to note 100% values on the sheet when in practice we're working to the 80% value, but there we are!
