Natasha Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 Monday morning light fixture over kitchen sink died. Hubby discovered fault was ancient wiring had cracked and given up the ghost. Problem? The inside ceramic part that you screw the light bulb into, and that has wires coming out the back to connect to power was NOT "normal".... in that the wires could not be drawn out and changed (apparently the usual case?). Anyway, he walked, then drove, to 4 different ferreterias Monday. NOBODY could help. We were on the point of thinking might have to buy new one but that idea came with own set of issues (only relevant to this house). Today I loaded up ALL the bits belonging to the entire fixture and went to the store noted. Sr. Luis Horacio took one look, asked someone to bring him something, sat at his desk and took apart some other necessary connections, put in the new identical part, fixed the whole thing like new.... and charged me a whopping 30 pesos! Plus we had a nice chat while he worked. 😄 So for those who live in older houses (this one 32) give him a try before you resort to more costly solutions. And the moral of this story? Never send a man to do what a woman can do better! LOL LOL LOL 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunFan Posted February 2, 2022 Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 I agree (not with the moral part). I've never had a repair done but their sales service and product selection is first rate. A go-to store. SunFan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted February 2, 2022 Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 I've had great results with them as well. In fact need to go there and see if he has any under cabinet LED lights to replace fluorescents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyjillin Posted February 2, 2022 Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 That's where I got my under cabinet lights in our kitchen. Great place for all sorts of lighting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
