Reddit reviews Leviton 125 15 Amp, 660 Watt, 125 Volt, 2-Pole, 2-Wire, Socket to Outlet Adapter, 1 Pack, White

Light bulb socket adapter: One outlet version -- www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001PCVTFC, two outlet version -- http://www.amazon.com/Leviton-1403-Outlet-Socket-Adapter/dp/B001F71O70. Best not to try to make one of these yourself, can be dangerous if something gets wired backwards.

Fan speed regulator: Depends on the fan, ceiling fans are controlled different than box/stand fans. Usually it's a burnt resistor or such. Probably best to just replace the regulator assembly, most of the time they're not repairable anyway.

Broken cupboard door: Get a box of wooden matches; break the heads off 3-4 of them, however many will fit into the screw hole. Dip them into wood glue, then shove them into the hole as far as they will go. Once the glue dries, cut them off flush with the wood surface, then screw the hinge back into the newly filled-in wood. If you lost the screws, take one out of another hinge and your local hardware store should have something that matches up. Can also try getting a screw a couple sizes up instead of the matchstick trick. Screws are numbered for "thickness" and then measured for length. Quick chart of the American system is here -- http://s.hswstatic.com/gif/screws-1.jpg.

Toilet lid - usually these just sit on top of the tank? If you're talking about the seat, there are usually 2 screws under the hinge tabs, look for a cover you can flip up. Might have to use pliers underneath to hold the nut while tightening the screw above.

For the vast majority of things, if you don't want to post on /r/diy (that's what it's here for!) just search Google for "cabinet door hinge fell off", or "toilet seat loose," etc, there's plenty of information out there (even step by step YouTube videos!)

You could buy one of these

And one of these

And just pug them together.

A baby monitor also works well for this. If the transmitter has a battery, remove it. Plug the transmitter into the outlet in question. Take the receiver with you. When the signal drops, you found the right breaker. This also works on light fixtures if you use one of these.

What kind of projector do you have in mind? You might be able to use a USB lamp socket (or DIY equivalent) to power the piratebox while projecting a static image. Or you could power a small digital projector from the socket with one of these. Either way sounds like fun and I hope you make it happen.

What I like about the FM feature is that it doesn't require line of sight. The public can interact with pi(rate)fm without ever seeing it. One day the hardware will be cheap enough to scatter pirateboxes everywhere. Until then, being able to stealthily deploy the things will be important. It may even more important in the future.

He used This mains to usb adapter in combination with This bulb plug to mains adapter. (He linked them on his Thingiverse page.)

$4.15 adaptor @ Amazon.

I get these here in the local electrical market. But the light bulb holders are a little higher, I was thinking if I could get a customized socket somewhere near my bed. Where I can plug in my charger.

I thought of posting an image of how it looks like from the outside.
Here is an image of it. I think I can even open it, take a pic and let you know, I thought I would first post the pic and ask for feedback. Is the regulator speed depended on the type of ceiling fan? The fan that I am using 1200 MM Sweep, 380 RPM, 80 Watts power consumption.

> Broken cupboard door:

Here is how it looks like. This is the broken door side. And this is how it looks on the cupboard. This image is from another cupboard where both the hinges are intact. So I think it is not really broken but the screws and nut seems to be come off? I went to a hardware store and showed them this pics, they bluntly said that only screws and nuts are not available, you need to purchase the complete set. I don't even know if I am using the technical terms like screws, nuts, hinges right. Forgive me if they are called something else.


> Toilet lid


The one that I have seems to be a little different. Here is what it looks like. The lid wont just fit easily on those plastic connectors given on the top of the hole.

Above all I really want to say a big thank you for taking out time and replying to me. It really helps and can go a long way if I get started with DIY stuffs.

The grow light is plugged into an outdoor outlet. If you have an outdoor light fixture, you can always try replacing the bulb with something like this. It might be ok with a low wattage device, although it's probably not up to code. I used them with Christmas lights before.
