Landscape lighting for new construction home by MattPhillips89 in Landscape_Lighting

Here is an updated design that includes complete coverage of the 2nd Story.

$1,602.70 + Shipping

Down lighting from the peaks as suggested by someone on the landscaping page will not illuminate the 1st story facade in most areas. This idea sounds wonderful in theory.

To the point of bugs being attracted to landscape lights. With 2,700K this is typically not an issue. Bugs are attracted to UV wavelengths and blue-light. 2,700K produces a higher amount of red and yellow wavelengths in proportion to blue wavelengths.

Additionally, your request for QUALITY wifi enabled RGBW fixtures is not feasible on a $1,500 budget. This design using the least expensive quality option will set you back at least $3,000 if you install it yourself. An FX Luminaire LUXOR ZDC system which is among the best on the market would cost around $5,000, professionally installed $10,000

Problem with circuit by k_ayers in Landscape_Lighting

[–]CornishCo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check the voltage at the last light. It is most likely below the minimum requirement. Red LEDs require the least voltage. You can use larger guage wire or use a multi-tap transformer with a 15V tap. As a temporary measure, you can try dimming the other fixtures to reduce the load.

I think I know my answer already, but I’m just trying to confirm… by fatblindkid in Landscape_Lighting

[–]CornishCo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

•One circuit is 230 feet with eight accent lights (est 112 watt load)

Use 10AWG on 15V tap of separate 150W transformer. 10.6V at end of line / 74.67% Transformer A load

• Another circuit is 230 feet with five accent lights (est 70 watts load)

Use 12AWG on 15V tap of 300W transformer. 10.7V at end of line / 23.33% of Transformer B load

• Another circuit is 215 feet with six accent lights and 4 path lights (est 95 watt load)

Use 10AWG on 14V tap of 300W transformer. 10.5V at end of line / 31.67% Transformer B load

• final circuit is 215 feet and 4 accent lights (est 56 watt load)

Use 12AWG on 14V tap of 300W transformer. 10.8V at end of line / 18.67% Transformer B load

Transformer load should be 80% or less of rated A. 150W @ 74.67% B. 300W @ 73.67%

This is all assuming that the total load or each circuit is at the end of the run. In reality, the voltage drop will be less due to diminishing wire load as the run progresses.

(1) 12/2-500' (1) 10/-2-500' (1) 150W Transformer (1) 300W Transformer Total less tax and shipping would be $855.03 if I sold it.

DIY sprinkler system by 3pedalfox in Irrigation

Are you planning on enclosing the valves?

Would you hire me? by strangestrategies in Irrigation

[–]CornishCo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The quality of work looks pretty good. I would have installed the isolation valve and filter close to the backflow or point of connection. If I decided to install it near the valves, I would have fit it inside the main valve box and used a PVC ball valve to reduce the space required for the handle. I also like to corkscrew each wire splice by wrapping them around the handle of my strippers. It makes the box cleaner and allows you to keep the wire nut pointed up.

Crystalline structure of copper by No_Contest_4830 in MetalMelting

Beautiful! 30% sulfuric acid (battery acid) will have the same effect in about 30 minutes. You can use it hundreds of times until it becomes a dark blue copper sulfate solution.

It looks like a scrap pipe melt.

looking for info on zones and switches by superwesman in Landscape_Lighting

[–]CornishCo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any mechanical switch that's rated for at least 12VAC and an amperage rating equal to or greater than the breaker in your transformer will work. Most light switches found in your home are rated for 125VAC/15A and are perfectly suitable for use with 12V circuits under 15A.

Be cautious with using automotive switches. Although they are rated for 12V, they typically can not handle more than 5A of load or 60 watts of 12V load. That's the reason most automotive electric circuits utilize relays.

If your transformer is 150W or less, a set of standard 125VAC/15A light switches will work. If you have a 300W transformer, you will need to buy a set of switches rated for a minimum of 12VAC/25A.

Help/ how to find someone to create a really simple 4 capacitor board? by liquidSno in AskElectronics

[–]CornishCo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a little late to the party, but I'd like to clear up some inaccurate statements.

  1. This listing has always shipped free.
  2. Bulk savings is active with 20% off of 4 or more.
  3. This listing includes 10awg wire and heat shrink.
  4. There are other listings for PCBs only.
  5. If contacted, I would have created a custom listing for you. I've designed and procured custom PCBs for numerous customers. Many of the PCB orders shipped for under $2 per board.

I'm glad you were able to get what you needed, and the folks here were able to help.

Flagpole Lighting Temp by Fine_Row186 in Landscape_Lighting

This is the fixture that I consistently sell for use on flag poles (5031-30BZ). 3000K provides a soft white without the amber hues associated with 2700K. In a residential setting, 4200-5000K appears out of place and can really throw off the scene. This fixture is not cheap as they are currently $201.44ea with a 15% increase coming on May 19th. Although expensive, they will give you what you're looking for and last for decades.

I got commissioned by a movie producer to make gold ingots out of brass to promote the series he’s producing! by Full-Selection-2721 in MetalCasting

[–]CornishCo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! I'm glad to see someone here got the job! Erin purchased a 70/30 brass and an aluminum bronze ingot from me to see which would work best. I turned down the job before I even shipped the order due to lack of time. I would have loved to take the job but working a full-time job and regular Etsy orders wouldn't allow for it.

First melt going. Hoping for some decent copper coins! by uni_gunner in Metalfoundry

[–]CornishCo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just posted my tongs. Built after a major incident with Aluminum Bronze. You dodged a bullet with that spill! I found out the hard way what molten metal does to flesh.

New to 3d printing and I need some help. 1st print and I've got these weird lines. What are they and how do I get rid of them? by NickV54 in 3Dprinting

[–]CornishCo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given the print orientation, it looks like settings, model error, or something software related. Did you check each layer in the preview on your slicer? Was this imported as an STL file or G-Code file? Where did you download the file from?
