Lights

There are several main light switches around the space. Additionally, after an open evening, there are usually several other lights, lamps and lit decorations that will also need to be turned off.

See the diagram for the locations of switches.

Heating

• There is a propane heater that is often used on Wednesday evenings, especially in winter. It has no fixed location in the hackspace. It is important that this is turned off as it is expensive to run and most dangerous if left running (CO & fire risk). It will need to be left with the fan running for a few minutes after the burner has been switched off.

• There is a convection heater in the workshop next to the laser bench.

• There is also sometimes a small electric fan heater (50p per hour) that has no fixed location in the hackspace.

Other

• All electrical appliances need to be switched off and left safe (e.g., soldering irons).

• The "kill switch" (near the inner door) can be flipped. It tells Holly no one is in the space.
