    kahit papano, may benefit naman ang tubig. mababawasan ang kalat ng apoy at ang sira ng sunog.. low voltage naman yan...

    CLASS E- Electrical fires

    Using CLASS A (water based) Fire Extinguishers or Water will only worsen the situation. Lalo na't malaki na ung apoy.

    Edit:

    I hope he was informed.

    kung minsan, ang pagtitipid, nagpapalaki ng gastusin. ang karamihan din, nag DIY, just for the fun of doing it. iba din kasi ang sense of fulfillment pagkatapos gawin ng 2 oras ang pwede namang gawin ng 15 minuto ng manggagawa at bayaran lang sana ng 100 petot. i fall on the latter. pasok din ako minsan sa kasabihang, over-confidence of the incompetent.

    Carbon is a good conductor.

    Once sunog na, it will short circuit at kung hindi tama ang kabit ng fuse, electrical fire follows.

    That's when DIY becomes Destroy It Yourself.

    walang masama sa DIY as long as ginawa ng tama using correct procedures (safety) with the right tools....using genuine parts (or even with cheaper parts).

    led installation could not spark that kind of fire... why?- cause led consume less electricity hence it could not lead to such

    but according to topgear phil, that photo was due to improper HID installation - much more plausible since hid consumes more electricity and are a heat magnet

    china ballasts may consume more electricity than stated otherwise they usually use 35w or 50w. an hid bulb generates high temps, but not a heat magnet.

    ^ Thanks!

    It's sometimes really difficult to screen items posted on social networks.

    It does brings up awareness to people who loves to tinker with their cars.... me included... to be mindful of what you're doing.

    Sa DIY ay dapat tama lahat ang rating ng components ilagay mo. Gaya ng foglamp. Hindi pwede yun ordinary fuse holder nabibili sa aiuto supply. Dapat yun high current type or barrel type fuse holder. Dapat ang fuse holder ay naka locate malapit sa source or +Battery. Hindi pwede ilagay malapit sa device or Foglamp.
    Dahil kung nag short ang unprotected side ng wire sa fuse holder ay sunog din yun wire pati na yun kotse mo. Then dapat lagyan ng Relay para maigsi lang na malaking wire gagamitin para sa supply ng Foglamp. Yun ordinary wire na lang para sa On Off switch ng Foglamp.
