I would not recommend buying any fixture from CREE. You can get a higher quality product for less money from any of the large companies that have been able to survive in the lighting business. Lithonia, Cooper, Williams are just a few of the big boys out there. Cree may not even be around in...

Not true. Read post above and look at cut sheet. Not true. Many electronic controllers are rated for fan control. The one shown above from Lutron is just one available from multiple manufacturers. Not true. Again, read post and look at cut sheet above for listing from reputable manufacturer...

Sounds like you have two problems, cheap fan and a cheap controller. I understand you don't want to change the fan or wiring so I would go with a quality controller...Lutron Maestro series if you want an electronic controller with infinite speed adjustment. It is rated for multiple (up to 4)...

I will back-up Vicegrip and say it is probably your speed switch based on your descriptions. Doubt if it is a bad cap being only 1-1/2 years old. Cooling air on fan cooled motors enters through vents where the speed switch is located and they can get coated with crud if the motor is in a dirty...

I think you answered your own question and made my point. You say your aware of the minimum NEC requirements but chose to install material that does not comply. You must be more knowledgeable and experienced than all the hundreds of individuals that make up the multiple committees at NFPA that...

Sounds like you had the typical building inspector show up that does not have a clue what he is looking at when it comes to the electrical system. Makes you wonder what else he missed??? JP

While I agree with your "snake oil" comment, Let's be careful about stating what is code. With all the rookies from all over the country reading these post, it is good practice to state what is in the NEC instead of saying what is required for a particular installation. Not sure of the OP's...

The name came from the original manufacturer, Greenfield, who invented flexible conduit we still use today and commonly refer to it by his name. "B" stand for the series of design where it came after type "A". The "X" stands for experimental as this was the first type of flexible metal covered...

That is amazing...To think the NEC was changed to keep people from stealing copper wire. I always thought the NEC was only concerned with safety. :headscrat Learn something new everyday. JP

Are you saying you have failed inspections for other reasons??? Nobody said the Kmart blue boxes would not meet code:dunno: JP

So true...most people are familiar with the terms low and high voltage but what is really funny is the look you get from some people when you start talking about MEDIUM voltage.:wtf: JP

I find it almost amazing how many "High End" houses I have looked at where all the money is put into the finishes but when you look at the mechanical and electrical systems they are really low quality. Too be fair, level of quality is an arbitrary factor that varies with each individual. As a...

The blue plastic boxes are Kmart quality. Cant buy anything cheaper. Big red flag to an inspector or any experienced electrician that comes across an install with blue boxes that he just walked onto a low budget, low quality project. The tan or gray colored boxes from Allied are fiberglass...

Using the correct terminology is a benefit to improved communication and understanding. Not everyone on this forum is an expert and sharing information and knowledge is beneficial to the unqualified searching for help. It is therefore important that information provided is as accurate as...

Actually, Lindy A. said a lot, not Cruzin90. A copy of a post from some other website from an individual who appears to have some good knowledge on this product as well as some insight and questions concerning the Citadel/Rock Solid company. JP

Actually it was Shark Bite. That is what was on the label from Sherwin Williams back when I did my first floor coating. At some later time, Sherwin Williams started selling the H&C product line and they now label it as Shark Grip. Probably the same stuff with a different label. Cruzin90, I am...

Perhaps your offering general information but I did not have problems with the roller marks due to poor technique rather the problem was with the shark bite added to the clear coat caused the roller marks to show. This was evident by the results of the second clear coat without the shark bite...

Just like the manufacturer said the coverage should be. Came out exactly as measured and planned. Even the second coat of clear came out with the same coverage they specified. JP

Look at it this way, now you have a little more time to make sure you really want to use their product. There is still an opportunity to switch to epoxy.

The winged wheel speedway logo is mine. It is a heavy vinyl decal that has a clear laminate coating on top. It is 10 feet wide and 5 feet tall. Took three of us to put it down. I then applied the clear coat floor topping over the entire area. Not all decals come with the clear laminate. That...
