    Critique my lighting plan

    Actually they do... my first design shows isolines with two cars parked. I am going to try with the second design. Oh, the isolines show the workplane, which I set to 3 ft off the floor.

    Critique my lighting plan

    Definitely I would not do cans. I kinda dislike cans. They are okay for some interior rooms, but they are way overused in general in my opinion. I am not a fan of LEDs' reliability, personally, though no experience with LED strips. I'll stick to these T8. And given limited runtime of these bulb...

    Critique my lighting plan

    Here is my take 2... with 78/50/20 values for ceiling/walls/floor. Still perhaps bright.

I only now realized it came with 2 year warranty. How do I go about requesting warranty repair now after the distributorship change? I guess...

    I think these jacks are a specialty boutique products and need to be directly marketed to car enthusiasts on enthusiasts car forums. This is really where the market for them is. Requires more work, but I guess it should not be impossible to sell them in decent numbers. I'd encourage you to give...

    Any updates? I love DK13 jack and I know a couple of guys who would love to buy one after seeing mine. I managed to buy mine last year from ASE Deals shortly before they disappeared from the U.S. market - you Steve didn't seem to have them at that time any longer (so I just bought the Esco...
