Impressive as always Jared. Thanks for sharing.

Gotcha, Thanks pattenp !

I have some flourescent light fixtures with dual ballasts that I wired with some 12/3 so I could switch the ballasts on seperately for the times when I only want a little light. This may not actually ever happen :lol_hitti I powered the switches from the circuit breaker with some 12/3 also. My...

I did some more research and found that the 4 lamp ballast also has a black, white and a grey/red wire which could be used to isolate that ballast into a 2 lamp ballast also. It comes standard with it tied into the black wire. Thanks for your responce wylie !!

I have got some Lithonia 654's. They came with two ballasts (One for two bulbs and one for the other four) and are default wired to have all bulbs on. Can someone tell me how to wire them so I can have two bulbs on or four bulbs. I want to accomplish this with two seperate switches for each...

I bought Wiring 1-2-3 2nd edition from HD awhile back for $25 and it has helped me to be able to wire my work shop. Lots of good info in there that's for sure.

I don't know but it sounds like a good problem to have. Lucky you !! What I want to know is where you you would mount the receptacle. 6 ft. off the floor ?? 10 ?? Drop down off the ceiling ? I'm pre wiring for a lift and haven't been able to figure this out. /:

I just checked and he had 14 left. YOU got a killer deal on these. Congrats on a great find. I know what they cost as I just ordered 9 of them from Platt electric that were $20 each more than the ones you got (654's) and don't have any lamps, and I have to wait three weeks to get the WD...

I just bought some IBZ 654's with the chrome reflector's and after doing a bit of research decided to trade them in on the WD (white reflecter wide beam models). They are the same price but I have to wait three weeks for them to be built. ) : lt's ok as I am still wiring the rest of the shop...

That was an excellent post Charles. Thank you for "shedding some light" pun intended, on the subject of different high bay fixtures. I haven't mounted them yet but I recently purchased six (thinking I really need nine) of the IBZ 654 which are narrow beam high bay fixtures and I'm thinking I...

Yes to the best of my knowledge shrinkage cracks are the little tiny spider cracks that meander along. Reason I ask is because I have a bunch of them and was told the cracks are only in te surface and don't go clear through the slab and I was wondering if grinding would take them out.

Did you have any shrinkage cracks that this process removed ? Or if you did are they as noticable ?

I love everything about it. Except the price.... Did you end up finishing with 1500 grit ?

Looks really nice Roger. Thanks for taking the time to post this.

Thanks for the education Willysfan. Think I'll leave the concrete to the professionals from now on.
