I need a 2 channel programmer that has a backlight. I have a couple but the backlights are not particularly brilliant, from the point of brightness and text size.
Can anyone recommend a decent one with a good level of illuminated display and a good sized text.
 
Plenty on the market, I suggest a Google search for twin channel programmer an go from there, but here‘s some:




 
There are these as well: Honeywell Home T4 Wired Programmable Thermostat - https://www.NoLinkingToThis/p/honeywell-home-t4-wired-programmable-thermostat/8672V?tc=JT7&ds_kid=92700055281954502&ds_rl=1249404&gclid=Cj0KCQiAsqOMBhDFARIsAFBTN3c918sTlW-9ImyImg5cFOav98lQ5tt5fEaadb_gHMxtBq-kAPMyBpQaAo0aEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
 
IME, plenty of programmers have decent sized digits for the temperature but the secondary information, such as day and status is often very small so I'm also interested to learn of examples where this isn't the case.

My eyes are getting old, so in my own home I installed wireless programmers that can be easily unclipped from their wall-mounting, adjusted and then clipped back. Not a perfect solution but it works for me.
 
Like you eyesight not as good as it once was. I have a Drayton Wiser Thermostat Kit that I was going to fit but will keep that till the next house as I think we will be moving in the not too distant future.
Have moved position of original programmer from where it was , stuck on the side wall of the airing cupboard. One had to bend ones head to look at it face on. Now mounted outside the cupboard.

Can anyone recommend a decent multi meter, preferably under a 100 pounds. It's for checking boiler components so I don't need a top spec one ....just easy to use and reliable. The fluke 115 looks good but its above my budget. My current socket and see one was great but it's developed a fault.

Hi. I need a new toilet supply line but don’t know the size type of the fitting at the shut off valve. It is not 3/8 compression. It is a plastic nut about the same size as the one going into the cistern but has a different thread. Attached is a photo. Can you advise. Thanks.

I was stupid enough not to check the position of the pipes under the tiles when installing a toilet and drilled right through the center of a 16 mm copper water pipe. I exposed the pipe by removing a ~30cm section of the plastic sleeve and a ~10 cm section of the pipe around the hole. Several...

Hi all. Hope you have all been keeping well. A while back I decided I only wanted to fit one brand of boiler and decided on Viessmann due to space for servicing and changing parts if ever needing to. I am finding my decision rather hard due to the different clearances on flue runs and cupboards...

Ideal Logic 24, Previous problem was that the hot water was only cold or barely warm if the heating was in use. If heating was off and boiler cold then would get hot water most of the time. Changing the flow cartridge about 2 years ago (when I moved in) solved this problem enough to suffer it as...
