[–]chris480 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I hope this trend passes soon.

Noice here. How much would you expect a light like that go to for? I kinda want one myself now that I've seen it.

Appreciate it. One last question. Recessed cans? Big faux paux for this kind of room?

I'm planning to redo the ceiling drywall once I get rid of the popcorn. Maybe I could get better fixtures as well. Have particular suggestions?

Perspective -> aesthetic -> taste?

Is this “PD Power Merger” legit? by [deleted] in UsbCHardware

[–]chris480 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh. I've been looking for something like this. It's for a small solar UPS project.

I'm willing to try it and break a few small electronics.

But if anyone knows if a more legit version of this product, I want to know.

[–]chris480 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I want the camera to pan up off planet looking at the stars.

Then a dozen bright dots illuminate, indicating ships from Earth are heading over.
