:/ I've plugged it
and it's working, my light bulb (gray cord) get's power and lights up.
The only problem is when I lower my temperature on the thermostat..the thermostat switch doesn't kick in and turn the globe off. It's the switch that is stuffing things up! it doesnt seem to go for me.
Any suggestions?

What's the t/stat temperature range? if its say 40 - 90 degC & your ambient temp is 30 then it will not turn off.
I hope you do that neutral (blue) connection a bit better than just twisting the wires together and leaving bare. Under certain circumstances neutral can have 240 on it & kill you just like the active....ie if that twist comes undone the blue wire coming from your globe WILL BE 240v. You've been advised in both your other threads & this one to get a leccy to do the job & I think you still should.

And here's the next piece of advice:

You don't have anywhere near enough knowledge on electrical principles let alone a basic understanding of your components and how they operate!

Leave it to an electrician before you kill someone or buy an already manufactured system:mad: :mad: :mad:
