5 stars all round from me!
The service is like all businesses should be, they went over and above ( I ordered parts thinking they were the right one, they messaged and asked for pictures of existing and changed the order to suit what I needed)
The products are amazing (I ordered 2 lights just to see how they faired, after fitting and trying I ordered another 14…yes 14!! Amazing
Delivery was on time and we’ll packed
Would defo use them again without a doubt, can’t see why you would need a more expensive brand as these make night day!👍👍👍

Easy to fit with excellent light and no radio interference. I fitted these on my 2019 Newholland T5 120 under front indicators. Far better than halogen fittings.
Bonnet work lamps are excellent but come with a steel ring and nuts and bolts with no instructions so are not a direct replacement but do fit after some thinking!!!
Date of experience: 13 October 2020
Your comments are much appreciated Brian and we will undertake adding instruction to the product. Our apologies you had a jigsaw to resolve but sometimes good for the grey matter.

Exactly what I wanted and quick delivery.
Just to note that the UTV315 I received have a little peak at the top of the body which means if you get 2 the same hand as I did, you have to effectively fit one upside down so they aren't perfectly symmetrical. A very minor problem but if you want them to look perfect you need left and right handed and I'm not sure they differentiate on the website when ordering. If they do, I didn't notice this so that would be my mistake. Nevertheless good lights that have transformed my JCB Loadall.

Appreciate your feedback and comments. There is only one hand for this light although we are in talks with the factory to remake the mould thereby making a universal mounting direction. Thanks again. Martin

Excellent LED Lighting
I came across this company while looking to purchased some LED light fittings for a project my partner is working on. The customer service I received was great, I made my order over the phone, as I wanted to check that the fittings were exactly what I was looking for. They arrived within 2 days of my order, the fittings are reasonably priced and are excellent quality.
I would definitely recommend this company.

Brilliant quality lights at a good price that are well above the cheaper lights on the market, with the little attention to detail noticed. Wasn’t sure before ordering how they’d be superior, however once fitted wouldn’t go back to any other brand.

Jeez your not feeling the best are you?
Looking at history your order was actioned similar date and time we received, however it did miss the cut off time for DPD collections on Thursday 15th, was shipped out Friday morning of 16th and delivered to you first working day after collection.
You got free delivery to EX32 , you never added any notes on your order to request any specific connector or word about machine to be fitted to yet you believe it is our mistake.
If you wish we have free issue connectors for all our customers including you and these make our lights plug and play.
The rating and comment you give is unfounded, unfair and far from summarises our method of operating.

Great headlights, additional bonus of DLR.
New head lamps. I had an LED set already but the Dim light was not one you could focus and it blinded oncoming traffic.
So the UTV product was great, good U shape dim lights whcih could be focused, great surround light from the full lights when selected.
The bonus was the DLR (daylight running light) which I wire up to my parking lights. A great addition and safety on the road.
Fantastic product, easy to fit and focus. great working light for Slurry at 12 midnight last week in what should have been the dark.....
Update.... finally fitted the UTV422 lamps. They light over your step or hitch. Fitted over my cab steps on my New Holland steps. Ligths the way into the cab love;y at night. Good side light for tight yard work at night also.

Domostroy: norms of family life in Rus'
Publications of the Traditions section
For several centuries in Rus', the rules of worldly, family and spiritual life were regulated by Domostroy - a collection of instructions. It contained advice on the household, raising daughters and sons, and behavior at home and away. Read how a good wife, a just husband, and polite children should have behaved.
A book about Christian values, family life and business etiquette
Andrei Ryabushkin. At the miraculous icon (fragment). 1894. State Russian Museum, St. Petersburg
Vasily Pukirev. The deacon explains to the peasants the picture of the Last Judgment (detail). 1868. State Museum of the History of Religion, St. Petersburg
Mikhail Shibanov. Peasant dinner (detail). 1774. State Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow
A handwritten code of everyday laws appeared in Novgorod at the end of the 15th century; it was popular in the homes of the Novgorod nobility. It was based on old collections of similar teachings, for example, Izmaragd and Chrysostom. In various editions, the code of laws was gradually enriched with new recommendations and advice, and over time, it included the rules of family life. In the 16th century, the Moscow church leader, confessor and associate of Ivan the Terrible, Archpriest Sylvester put it all together. He divided the new book Domostroy into three parts. The first one told how to pray and behave in the church, the second - how to honor the king, the third - how to live in a family and run a household.
Many people read Domostroy: princes and boyars, merchants and poor literate citizens. The teachings were based on Christian values: to help the needy, sick and hungry, not to brag about your good deeds to others, to forgive insults. Practical advice related to various areas of life: how to behave at a party, how to pickle mushrooms, take care of cattle, repair sleighs and household utensils. The text even mentioned business etiquette—how to buy groceries and pay shopkeepers.
Domostroy of the 16th century became one of the first books devoted to everyday life, although it included a religious section. It withstood many reprints and three centuries later regulated the life of the Old Believers, city merchants and wealthy peasants.
This is a monument of inestimable significance for our history... it is the color and fruit of the eternal moral and economic rules of our way of life. Domostroy is a mirror in which we can visually study and reveal all, so to speak, the underground forces of our historical life.
Family: strict hierarchy and subordination to elders
Andrei Ryabushkin. Waiting for the newlyweds from the crown in the Novgorod province (fragment). 1890−1891. State Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow
Vladimir Makovsky. Peasant children (detail). 1890. Kharkov Art Museum, Kharkov, Ukraine
Andrey Ryabushkin. Waiting for the newlyweds from the crown in the Novgorod province (fragment). 1891. State Russian Museum, St. Petersburg
In medieval Rus', traditional ideas about values prevailed. The Christian model of marriage meant a large family with many children and a patriarchal way of life. People who remained single until adulthood were considered inferior, consciously refusing marriage was seen as evading the will of God. Moral texts even condemned those who left their loved ones to go to a monastery.
According to Domostroy, the family was a single organism: the husband worked and brought food, the wife ran the household, the children unquestioningly obeyed their parents, even when they grew up. Domostroy clearly marked the hierarchy and relationships between family members. This reduced the likelihood of quarrels and conflicts: everyone knew their place and duties. Corporal punishment was the usual means of education, although beating with sticks or rods was advised in extreme cases - if the conversations did not work.
The rules of conduct applied to all members of the household, including servants and people who lived at the expense of their masters. The servants also had to be educated and punished. And not only to the owner-spouse, but also to his wife:
Servants, in the same way, looking at the fault and on the case, teach and punish, and lay wounds, punishing, welcome ... And for any fault in the ear, and in the eyes do not beat, neither with a fist under the heart, nor with a kick, nor with a staff beat, do not beat with anything iron and wood. Whoever beats like this, many troubles happen from him: blindness and deafness, and an arm, and a leg, and a finger will dislocate, and a headache, and a toothache, and pregnant wives and children in the womb will be injured . ..
For the good service of servants it was prescribed to praise, and in public. The hostess had to set an example, intercede and not lead with the servants "empty, mocking, senseless, shameful speeches" . It was also necessary to strictly monitor that the servants did not gossip and did not tell strangers about household chores.
Wife: “To please God and husband”
Philip Malyavin. Baba carrying water (detail). Beginning of XX century. Private collection
Nikolay Feshin. Washerwomen (detail). XX century. Private collection
Philip Malyavin. Mother Russia (detail). 1910s Private collection
In Rus', it was customary to conclude marriages by agreement. Relatives chose a life partner, and often there was no talk of mutual love between future spouses. Only grooms of age could choose a bride for themselves and independently negotiate a future wedding. Marriages were dissolved in rare cases, the family was considered a value that should be protected throughout life.
Today the word “domostroy” is primarily associated with the patriarchal way of life. In fact, a married woman from the people lived locked up, doing only housework. The norms of Domostroy established that the wife should be "clean and obedient" , fulfill her duties - to run the household and raise children. It was prescribed to be silent, kind, hardworking, in all matters to consult with her husband. At the same time, the husband, as the head of the house, must teach and educate not only children, but also his wife, and then "everything will be disputed, and everything will be full" .
A good wife rejoices her husband, their life passes in harmony. A kind, hardworking, silent wife is the crown of her husband. If a husband has found a good wife, he brings only good things from his house.
The woman in the book was called "the sovereign of the house" , and her main business is "To please God and husband" . She supervised the education of children, the work of servants, the replenishment of supplies, and distributed duties among family members. Household members, with the exception of her husband, were obliged to obey and help her.
The book described in detail how to behave in different situations and even what you can talk about at a party:
Guests, if they happen, or where to be, sit down at the table and change into the best dress, and protect your wife from drunken drinking . The husband is drunk - bad, and the wife is drunk - and unattractive in the world. To talk with guests about needlework, about household chores ... What you don’t know, then ask good wives, politely and affectionately, and whoever points out something, beat him low on his forehead.
The hostess was not encouraged to be idle and set a bad example for the servants: she had to spend all her free time at home doing needlework. Even aimless conversation was considered a sin.
In Domostroy it was said that “it is bad if the wife fornicates, dabbles, slanders and communicates with wise men” . The unrighteous “empress” undermined discipline and set a bad example for the servants. In special cases, the wife should be punished, and not only in words. The husband should have been “taught” in private, and not in front of people, and after that he should have been caressed and pitied.

Domostroy prescribed to raise children in strictness: children should be “always laid to rest, fed and clothed, and in a warm house, and always in order” . Responsibilities for upbringing were assigned to both mother and father. Sons and daughters were to be watched over until they got married. The pedagogy of Domostroy included several aspects: the teaching of "the fear of God", knowledge, courtesy, crafts and needlework.
Children from an early age began to help adults, work was one of the main Christian virtues. Laughter and pampering were considered sins, parents were advised not to even smile while playing with children. In education, it was recommended to take into account the characteristics of the child: “Depending on the children and according to age, they should be taught needlework - the mother of daughters, the father of sons, who is capable of what, what opportunities God will give to whom” . Children helped with household chores, from the age of seven or eight mothers taught their daughters how to sew, and fathers taught their sons their craft, such as blacksmithing or pottery. The diploma was considered optional. A child was taught to write and read, if only they planned to give him to the state service or to confessors. A separate chapter of Domostroy was dedicated to the future marriage of their daughters, parents were advised to collect clothes and utensils for dowry in advance.
Domostroy ordered children to be taught decent behavior, or “knowledge”. In one of the chapters, they advised how to behave to the son in a strange house: "do not pick your nose with your finger, do not cough, do not blow your nose, stand politely and do not look around" . The child was instructed not to talk too much and not to eavesdrop - so they tried to protect the house from gossip and quarrels with neighbors.
Responsibility for children was assigned to parents: if children sinned due to negligence, then mother and father will answer on the day of the Last Judgment. Well-bred children in old age had to take care of their parents when they fell ill or "feel poor in mind" . It was impossible to scold your parents - otherwise you would be damned before God.
Whoever beats a father or mother - he will be excommunicated from the church and shrines, let him die a cruel death from civil execution, for it is said: "The father's curse will dry up, and the mother's curse will be eradicated."
In the chapter "How to teach children and save them by fear," corporal punishment was recommended. Moreover, only boys were allowed to be beaten: “execution of your son from his youth… if you beat him with a rod, he will not die, but he will be healthier” . Corporal punishment in the Middle Ages for boys was common not only in Rus': it is believed that in this way the future warrior was prepared for hardships and tempered his character. Girls were prescribed only to be severely scolded for their misdeeds.

- Summary
Content:
Guinea pigs are charming rodents that get along well with humans. “Sea” these animals are called in Russian, Polish and German. Most likely, the reason is that they came to us “from across the sea”. In other languages, pigs are called Guinean.
The average life expectancy of a rodent is 5-7 years. However, with proper care, some individuals are able to cross the ten-year milestone. What do they need for a comfortable life?
Guinea pig breeds
IMPORTANT! Most varieties of guinea pigs have been bred artificially. For this reason, it is more correct to use the term “breeds” with respect to them.
More than 80 breeds of guinea pigs are known.
Several classifications are offered. Common - along the length of the coat:
- rare;
- shorthair;
- longhair.
English Self
The breed was bred in the 19th century. Its distinguishing feature is the uniform color of the coat. These are quite unpretentious rodents, so they are suitable for keeping people who have not previously dealt with guinea pigs. Average weight - 1 kg.
Several colors are allowed: beige, black, chocolate, cream (with dark or red eyes), gold (with dark or red eyes), lilac, red, saffron and others.
Abyssinian
This breed is also called rosette. It's all about wool in particular - it does not grow straight, but from the center, forming a "funnel". An Abyssinian can have from 6 to 10 such rosettes (excluding the areas on the stomach and head).
Until now, no one can say for sure why the breed is named Abyssinian. On the territory of ancient Abyssinia (area of \u200b\u200bmodern Ethiopia), these rodents are not found.
Abyssinians are very curious and active animals. The owners note that they will never refuse food. The coat of these animals needs regular combing.
Peruvian
Peruvians are the owners of not only a friendly disposition, but also luxurious wool, the length of which can reach as much as 50 cm! For this reason, it is necessary to comb and clean their “fur coat” at least once a day.
The hair of Peruvian guinea pigs grows upward from two rosettes located on the sacrum. They do not like loneliness, so the simultaneous maintenance of two individuals is acceptable.
Alpaca
Another breed with a spectacular appearance. Their coat has funny curls that grow upwards from two rosettes located on the rump.
Despite their playful nature, alpacas love to communicate with humans and their relatives. They require special conditions of detention, so most often they are brought in to participate in exhibitions.
Sheltie
The Sheltie breed was introduced to the public at the end of the 20th century. Their hair is long, smooth and straight, and unlike Peruvians or Alpacas, it grows from the head down.
Colors - gold, red, lilac, black, white, cream, chocolate and others.
Coronet
Quite a new breed, and therefore rare. Outwardly, coronets are similar to shelties - their coat is also smooth and long. However, it grows from a single rosette located on the head, making it look like a crown.
Coronets boast sociability, playfulness and a cheerful disposition.
Satin
Satin is not a breed of guinea pig, but a feature. It all lies in the presence of a special, “satin” gene. The wool of such rodents has a glossy effect - it glistens and shimmers. The satin gene can occur in any breed of guinea pig.
plain smooth
The most popular breed of guinea pigs. They are most often found as pets. Their coat is short and smooth, and can be dyed in one color or several.
The breed is unpretentious in care, so it is suitable for keeping novice guinea pig lovers.
Skinny
Hairless breed, which turned out quite by accident in the laboratory. Breeders were surprised when one of the females turned out to have a baby with a complete lack of hair. Despite this, they decided to use the rodent to obtain a new breed, which rapidly gained popularity.
Skinnies require special care. Their skin does not have a protective cover, so the guinea pig must be protected from drafts and direct sunlight.
Rex
The coat of the Rex is hard and curly. Its length does not exceed 4 cm. Various colors are acceptable.
Rexes are distinguished by a calm disposition, they are playful and at the same time quickly become attached to people and make contact with pleasure. By the way, this is one of the largest breeds: the average length of the body of a rodent is 45 cm.

How to tame a guinea pig
Guinea pigs are pets that are fairly easy to tame. If everything is done correctly, the pet will ask for hands and funny “grunt” when it is stroked.
Once you have brought the rodent into the house, place it in a cage. You should not be overly intrusive and take the animal in your arms right away. Offer him a piece of fruit or vegetable, calling by name. Gradually, the pig will get used to the hands.
Contents
To keep a guinea pig you will need:
Cage
The minimum cage size for one rodent is 90x60x40. The bottom should be plastic, and the bars should be metal. It is not recommended to choose multi-level models, since guinea pigs, unlike hamsters and rats, do not climb their homes.
When choosing a cage, pay attention to the lock - it must be strong. Another important condition is the absence of sharp edges and burrs, on which the animal can get hurt.
It is desirable to place the cage in a room where the air temperature suitable for guinea pigs is maintained - 22-26 degrees. The level of air humidity is 55-70%. It is not recommended to place the cage next to a window or battery.
Filler
As a filler, you can choose granular or ordinary sawdust, that is, the most environmentally friendly material. These types of bedding absorb moisture and unpleasant odors well, making cleaning much easier. Do not use newspaper - printing ink can cause allergies or food poisoning. Paper is also not a very suitable option, since it does not absorb liquid well.
The filler in the cage should be changed once every 5-7 days (more often if necessary).
Sennik
Sennik - a small container in which hay is placed. Guinea pigs love to chew dried grass. Besides, it is a wonderful kind of food for them. Therefore, hay should always be in a cage.
Cottage
Despite the fact that guinea pigs are very sociable rodents, sometimes they want to hide from human eyes in order to relax. For this reason, a house should be located in the cage, and such that an adult can fit there completely.
Feeder
To maintain cleanliness in the cage, it is better to put food for the rodent in the feeder. The best option is hanging or floor.
Drinker
Nipple models are easy to handle - the animal will immediately understand how to get water from it.
Additionally, you can purchase:
- wooden toys for rodents;
- hammock;
- carrier.
IMPORTANT! The carrier is needed to put the animal there for the time of changing the litter, as well as for trips out of town or to the veterinarian.
Feeding
An interesting fact: guinea pigs constantly chew something, and this is no accident. Their digestive system is designed in such a way that a new portion of food, as it were, pushes the old one through the esophagus. For this reason, the rodent should be fed regularly, 2 times a day.
IMPORTANT! A caged guinea pig should always have enough hay.
These rodents eat plant foods.
The optimal daily diet is as follows:
- hay - 50%;
- dry food - 20%;
- fruits and vegetables - 20%;
- fresh grass - 10%.
Hay should not be harvested by yourself: not every grass is suitable for guinea pigs. The best option is ready-made hay from trusted manufacturers.
Dry food suitable for guinea pigs contains a set of essential vitamins and minerals. It is important to follow the feeding instructions on the package.
Fresh fruits and vegetables can also be included in your guinea pig's diet. Be sure to wash them before giving the animal.
Grass is another source of nutrients. You can pick it up yourself. Just make sure you do it in a clean area where there are no cars or dogs walking around. But it is better to purchase a set for germinating grass and, as it grows, offer it to a rodent.
Guinea pig teeth grow very fast, so they need to be ground down. They usually handle it on their own. To help the animal, enter into its diet sprigs and mineral stone . If the guinea pig's teeth are not grinding well, contact the veterinary clinic - they will carry out the necessary manipulations.
IMPORTANT! In the drinking bowl, the pig should always have clean drinking water.
Hygiene and care
Guinea pigs need regular hygiene procedures. These include:

2. Cleaning the ears and eyes. They should be checked once a week. If yellowish wax has accumulated in the ears, remove it with a napkin. However, brown discharge may indicate a bacterial infection. In this case, it is recommended to consult a veterinarian. Accumulations in the corners of the eyes must be removed with a cotton pad dipped in warm water.
3. Hair care. Guinea pigs lose hair regularly, so short haired rodents should be brushed with the special brush at least once a week. The coat of representatives of long-haired breeds is combed daily to avoid the appearance of tangles.
