Celso, may bring my box of white LEDs tomorrow. A merciful end of playing furniture Braille.

I have dreams about

Yip yip yip (gunshot)

I see one of these in your future:


:B

BOXES are meant to put electrical and electronics into (ventilated). I cheated and didn't mention I also want NEMA 4 for chargers, like, for Jesus. Put a handle on it. Fan inside. Power supplies, relays, inside.

Swearto budda, Mexican electricians position cutouts for receptacles and toggle switches because they don't want to bend over. Similar philosophy as putting speed bumps in the shade of a tree because they don't want to do it in the hot sun.

The lamp base in the kitchen is on a wall. Funny huh? Someone measured and took great care to position it to cast a shadow across the stove and kitchen sink when standing in front of them. THIMK?. Yeah, the light's switch is in the geographic center of the wall. Enter dark kitchen and braille one's way to the switch. Open the bathroom door and the switch is hidden behind the door. Ooooo the small bathroom has 2 lamp sockets the huge kitchen has one. Single bedroom light is perfectly positioned for shining over top a book in bed.

This AIN'T my house. No buying concrete circular saws no troughing of wires. Wireless switches and transmitters. Running up of zip cord in room corners. And it all gets removed when I move out. My bed reading light is behind my head double sided taped to the wall.

Why didn't I bring Quicksilver? Local RV park, the ONLY RV park - 630 pesos per day no monthly discount. This house? 100 pesos a day, and is not located in the boiler factory commercial district. It also has 122 volts not 94. All for the quest of multiple health operations. Like a million + pesos worth done for MediCare in the USA.

So NEMA boxes are called for. Wotta hoot. A plastic box filled with useless-to-me un-needed garbage costs less than an empty one. Plywood, glue and screws time :(

Footing wall runners are lengths of 2x2 with trough made by seller's circular table saw. When In Rome...

Receptacles are as rare as a (political figure) with common sense. and then most of the few are four feet off the floor and both embedded in concrete and already occupied.

Are those high receptacles in MeHeCo dwellings because they're in a flood plain or because they're close to global warming sea coasts? :B

Worse than the high-water receptacles, IMHO, is the 2" toilet waste plumbing and hence, a nearby canister full of brown colored TP.

Unless you're mass producing them for sale, why worry about nmea, ANSI, etc. Go with what works for you and is reasonable in price.

Newark.com. 3,100+ hits on NEMA 4 in Enclosures.

There is Moonbeam. Ride bicycles to work? Wait, that won't work. No gas tax. I have been around too many government operations. Fifty percent of any organization works on how to make 100% of the organization look like it's overworked and needs more funding. When CalTrans District 9 foremen screamed I was working too hard, I knew my six month tenure would be my last.
It seems like most of the (what's the word the wacko's use? PLANET. That's it PLANET) Seems like most of the planet has gone weird. No one wants to fix anything. Rehab it. Women see an appliance of a different color and suddenly a perfectly good piece of equipment is trashed.

Optimists see a glass of water as being half full

Pessimists see a glass of water as being half empty

An engineer sees the glass as being twice as big as it needs to be

My new monster house refrigerator has driven my monthly power usage to 122 kWh. Time to economize. Twelve dollars is ridiculous. What do I think I am, Al Gore?

Uh that federal document (Which is written in High Federal Speak and I did not care to take the time to slog through it) is an EPA regulation.

For all practical purposes. We no longer have an EPA

I am going to drive them easy - perhaps at 90% rated ma. Might even consider using dispersion since the panels are now 90+% efficient.

The BORG will have reached four years 24/7 duty as of tomorrow. Flawless performance. I remember someone remarking during planning about it sitting on a garage shelf - unfinished project. I am switching the voltage to stepped on the Hyperwatt. 11 pin single deck switch. I wish I could find reasonably priced NEMA 4 plastic enclosures.

Beware many LEDs with plastic package measured in MM are indicator grade devices and don't have much of a service life. Color temperature and lumen output will tend to act up.

Unfortunately I have no knowledge of illumination grade devices in a through hole package.
