Re: Light up fuses

They have been around for a while, very expensive still, worth the money? I think I will stick with the regular fuses

Re: Light up fuses

Nice Idea, Bad Design. Once the fuse is "popped" it creates an open loop to light the bulb so one can easily see the fuse, problem is that open loop can cause a quick fuse box fire, depending on the origin of the electrical surge.

I quick short burst of electricity just pops fuse and lights the light, A constant arching wire or constant surge of power will cause the little light to become a little red hot fire ball!

I had a friend end up having an electrical/fuse box fire because of these!

Definitely would NOT advise using them.
