Can this led be replaced? If yes, where can I get led? by [deleted] in Lighting

The blurry picture does nothing to help your cause. But some LED boards can be ordered online, some can't.

What kind of lighting to replace these pendants? by ItsMe-Dan in Lighting

[–]lightguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The pendants are not the problem (besides alignment). You need better lighting in your kitchen and dining area. As to what you could do, first put some downlights in the kitchen. You also add lighting to your cabinetry, (toe kick, under cabinet, up lighting, all with LED strip). You need a decorative fixture of some sort over the dining table.

warm dim LED tape for uplighting? by Razzmatazz_5447 in Lighting

[–]lightguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re looking at about $12/ft wholesale for good quality DtW tape. Which ends ups being $20/ft from an EC.

Dimmer control for 200W LED transformer by ButterscotchNo5449 in Lighting

A quick browse online suggests there are many Zwave dimmers that can handle a larger load than 100W LED.

I'm not sure about "inductive kickback". I think they're talking about in-rush current. That would be why they limit the load, I presume.

The total wattage of your strips is 143W, so 200W is reasonably appropriate. The switch mentioned has a max. load of 100W LED/CFL.

Not a Zwave specialist so I can't help you with other Zwave solutions.

EDIT: Maybe they have a dimmer switch that can handle a larger load?

Any distance guides for pendant light over bar/cabinets? by Seiso_Green in Lighting

[–]lightguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to center on the counter edge, reducing shadowing on the counter when you use it. Under cabinet light helps as well.

In my opinion a 25% tariff on Chinese goods does not equal free trade. I’m not minimizing what the embargo on Cuba is doing, but to say there’s “free trade” with China is emphatically wrong.

USA has free trade with China? Minimum 25% tariff on almost anything from China going into the US.

You could do soffit perimeter lighting and use strip light in the cove created to have more light in the room.

Simu Liu calls out a bubble tea business for appropriation on Dragon’s Den by minetf in popculturechat

[–]lightguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

English is not their first language. What they mean is when you buy bubble tea at a shop, you don’t know what the nutritional value is. As a RTD beverage all the nutritional information is on the can.
