haha, the reviews for the maplin "thing" are not good. Aparently it breaks quickly and is not good for permanent outdoor use. I asked maplin if it was made for permanent outdoor mounting and they replied yes. So I said, you lie just look at the reviews. I got a scripted reply asking not to abuse their staff hahaha, you can always count on maplins to give you a laugh (unless your dumb enogh to buy their crap).
