Basically switches cost money and software is free. I do believe the electronic manufacturers have simply written off 90 million baby boomers. They don't care that we can't see the displays and that we don't want 1000 features we will never use.

In 2008 they removed all references to "lighting and appliance" panel boards so it just says "all loads that are part of or associated with a dwelling". They are saying you are counting on the load diversity you have in the total

OT:Menus

This is probably a bit of a rant than anything. I bought a new radio transceiver yesterday and was reading through the 135 page manual. It seems that this radio has something like 100 menus in it, but very few buttons and knobs on the front. Of t

So Bruce, Do you give an estimate as to what the work will cost? How is the pricing sorted out? Also, is this for totally new work or for retro-fits of new lighting in existing installations? Sorry about all the questions, just curious.

I do installs for a local lighting company. The way that we work it is he sells the fixture(s) and gives them one of my cards. Whether or not the customer uses my services is between the customer and myself. The store owner's only concern is that he

Slightly off topic John, But over here, it's become almost standard practice to put a plug and un-switched socket on the cord of HID lights in warehouses. This isn't a regulatory requirement, it is just an idea that someone had somewhere along the l

I'd check with both your accountant, AND the contractors' board as to how this relationship should be set up. For example, if they are selling the job, then hiring you to do the work, this puts them in the position of being a general contractor ...

Greg, unless it's been changed in the 2008 code ( I don't have one accessible now) it says in 310.15(B(6) in the 2005 code that it pertains to "Services, and Feeders". The inspectors here have passed it for as long as I can remember. Steve

I've been approached by a local lighting company to do their installs for fixtures they sell. They only ask for a "referal fee." I wanted to see what other contractors have experienced with this sort of relationship and if this is legal i

AFAIK, electronic ballasts of recent manufacture do not have a memory. If you want to be sure, contact the ballast manufacturer and ask. I asked this question of Advance ballasts about 3 or 4 years ago on a job I had. The building would have 277 vo
