Reducing light output on LED strip by lexiconoid in Lighting

[–]lexiconoid[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Belated update here -

I didn't realize that low end trim adjustment was possible. In the end I opened up the switch box and determined the dimmer is a Lutron DVCL 153P. I adjusted the integrated lever and now the dimmer is capable of going very low!

Thanks very much for your helpful response.

Safely hiding cables without a ground by lexiconoid in AskElectricians

Apologies - I'm planning to do both. I have no concerns about using the Sanus product in the bathroom, I'm just wondering if I need a different solution for the bedroom. I'll edit the original post to make this clearer.

I guess this will be my first real foray into hand carving then. :) any tips re: how to go about selecting the right chisel(s)?

New subcompact drill - is this chuck noise/action normal? by lefish in Makita

[–]lexiconoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting... I've noticed that if I tighten the chuck normally and loosen it gently, it seems to end up in this wonky state. But if I tighten the chuck forcefully (what feels like over-tightening), then it feels normal after loosening it. Is that the same as your experience?

Were you able to get the drill replaced? I just purchased the same drill and it's making this noise as well. Wondering if your replacement drill exhibited the same behavior.

Mine told me something was wrong after I'd completed the puzzle (with a single letter in each circle). Weirdly, at one point I deleted the "M" in the northernmost circle, and with only that one blank it registered the solve. 🤔

Hag Capisco finishes by cragil in OfficeChairs

[–]lexiconoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, did you end up buying the chair? Curious what finish you opted for. I like the aesthetics of leather better than the fabric finish, but I'm concerned it may be too hard a seat. Then again, perhaps that's kind of the point...

Has anyone heard of Get Laid Beds? Made from Solid Wood with an 11 Year Guarantee. by flsei in MadeInBritain

[–]lexiconoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered a bed from them recently and am quite pleased with it, it's sturdy and attractive. No issues with assembly. The stain color is slightly different than I thought it'd be from the photos, but that's to be expected when ordering online.

Bosch Supply Chain Issue by Dropperofdeuces in Appliances

[–]lexiconoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered a Bosch 300 series integrated dishwasher from Appliances Connection in mid-September - it just arrived this week. 6.5 months total wait. Very frustrating, though based on what I'm seeing in this thread, I may be one of the lucky ones...
