Any have any idea how to prevent fruit flies from entering my fridge?

My fridge is not even a week old and last night I saw lots of fruit flies lying dead in all 3 compartments of my fridge...not sure how they got in...hubby suspects that they got in together with the fruits I placed in the fridge and the flies multiplied...

huh you mean the external casing - the plastics? then magiccleaner lor cheap and good.

for internal you need to engage a aircon tech to do it.... my kaki got a good one who cleans the internal simi coil also - i sms him for the number, will post here once i got the number.

Advantages of Electronic ballast

1) lamp does not flickers - good for your eyes.

2) instantaneous light, light come on the moment you press the switch.

3) 90+% energy efficiency - meaning 90+% of the electricity is used to power the lamp while less than 10% is used to produce heat. magnetic ballast has only 70& energy efficiency.

4) constant flow of electricity - stable supply to the lamp.

A incandescent bulb uses only 10% of the total electricity while 90% is wasted to produce HEAT.

imagine every 100 watts the bulb consumes - only 10 watts is used for the lighting, while the 90 watts($$$) is flush down the toilet bowl.

Myth of electronic ballast

During the course of learning, I have come across at least 4 electricians TAO CHEW(started out as apprentices), all old birds in the industry and 2 electrical engineers(with diploma and degree) with contruction firms.

Myth 1 : Electronic ballast causes your lamp to spoil VERY FAST http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/29.gif

ans by a engineer : then why philips/osram/ge are selling them? lotsa new hi tech bldgs are using them!

Cause of Myth : using china made no name ballast and no name fluorescent tubes. worse still a dimmer switch is installed without a dimmer ballast!

Hi Mace

I finally got my hands on the E-Ballast from CCM. Wow, lots of stuff going cheap there....love that place.

OK here goes my question, need some little guidance. Saw the orange connector with 3 slots as in your attached Pic....I suppose N goes into the first slot at the top, not sure L should be the second or 3 slot from the top. Also my current lights did not have any ground cable installed, do I need to hook up the ground cable for this E-ballast? !!

from the pic - top one is N

middle is L

bottom one is Ground.
