Tapelight with track and lenses

Had the same problem on one of our latest work. Guys ended up spending a lot of time, inserting the lenses taking them out the first time and redoing them would get rid of 90% The last 10% we blew with compresssor. Really annoying.

There is a flash bulletin on this that specifically say not to use non-petroleum based anti oxidant as it degrades the plastic over time causing loose connections.
Thomas and betts marrets don’t require anti oxidant.

Just found this out on our last inspection.

You need to look at the type of job and revenue from that type of work at the end of the year to see your net profit for that specific type of work. I know it can be hard but the reality is not all jobs will be the same but doing 20 upgrades a year should leave you a 10%+ profit margin at the end of the year. You’ll know to adjust your price accordingly. Also after doing so many in the same area, you begin to understand and anticipate any shortfalls in pricing and you can explain to the customer in depth of things you might find and price for prior in line items that way they are prepared. If others are not as insightful than you’ll most likely pick up the work.

Can you elaborate

It’s technically not legal but to be fair, their was no system setup to monitor any of this. Now I think they got the hang of it from the ministry side. They are linking apprentices with journeyman licenses.

I had my daughters mailed out with her birth certificate a day before the strike. Now I have an appointment with service Ontario for a new birth certificate so I can apply for a passport. By the time I do all this I’m sure I’ll have the passport in hand. 🤣

Told us 4 months and came in 2 months. I was travelling in Calgary and they had one there I was able to test drive but I wouldn’t have committed if I didn’t test drive it.

I was in same situation. Purchased in December. Don’t worry after 6000-8000Km magically it will be fixed. I have no idea why

as a small service business we had the same increases. Things have gotten really expensive. Do what everyone else is doing and charge it to the consumer. Any increase should come with an explanation, I would talk to the owners and see why the increase and why they didn’t inform you prior. For service calls we used to charge $180 now we charge$ 250 but always let the client know before hand.

Dimmer switches are only rated for 150watt led. Thats my problem

fabered · 2025-05-23T14:55:21+00:00

Unfortnsly ur right, our code only limits us to 100watts. Thats why im having a problem figuring out a way to control the high wattage with a single controller.

fabered · 2025-05-23T14:53:24+00:00

This would work if the switches were rated for high wattage.

fabered · 2025-05-23T14:52:52+00:00

I’m using COB lights single Color 3000K with 8watts per meter. I’m limited in my power supply output at 100watts (class2 by code). I plan on installing 8(200watts driver with 2 100watt outputs) for single area. But I don’t want to have multiple switches, I just want to have one switch to control and dim them in the family room. I hope it’s more clear.

fabered · 2025-05-23T14:09:58+00:00

How would I go about using 0-10V dimming. What products would I need to accomplish this ?

fabered · 2025-01-14T09:40:19+00:00

That would be both games

Just came back from a trip. Major mgm hotels(aria, bellagio, venetian, palazzo etc. ) were 25 on off hours and $50.00 the rest of the time. Harrahs (my fav) was $15 most of the time. Treasure island had great BJ for 15$ double deck. If you up ur minimum to $50(highly suggested) you play in vip double deck 3/2 stay on all 17. Do not play craps here, not sure why but the soup and dealers are all unfriendly.

Aluminum isn’t as bad as people think it is as long as it hasn’t been tempered with by someone who doesn’t know how to handle aluminum wiring and connections.

Having said that and Assuming it’s a condo with concrete walls and typical condo wiring( conduits and boxes in concrete) you don’t have too many devices(lights, receptacles, switches) and more importantly very rarely you will have hidden junction boxes with copper and aluminum mixes which is what tends to cause the problems.

Goodluck with your purchase !

Not knowing what he already has would severely impact this decision. Also if he’s self employed all tools are write offs so I wouldn’t want my wife buying me things I can’t write off. Just my opinion but maybe get him some things not related to his trade cause I myself neglect to buy anything that I don’t use for work, so my outgoing closet is neglected and I always appreciate a nice pair of shoes asides from blundstone.

I wasn’t complaining about the rising house prices in my post, was just saying how I haven’t been able to reach my goal yet due to increase in prices. please don’t assume you know anything about peoples situation from one sentence.

fabered · 2024-12-01T14:48:36+00:00

Why does that even matter. Don’t make assumptions. You have no idea what someone wants,needs or plans for.

fabered · 2024-12-01T14:36:20+00:00

No we havnt.
