really? would this be phase balanced ? what about startup? you'll have to forgive me.. as I am really inept when it comes to motor controlling

CarterKraft thanks for the Kudos man.. 6 months in to it and still overtly satisfied with the whole system... if I had to do it again.. I would do 6 per quadrant instead of 4... where I have the 4 lights... I would install 2 more centered with a 5 foot space between the two.... I could...

I have 64 per sqft...

Thanks for the PLUG Charles....:bounce: in truth.. I like it.. still... and have NO regrets going with this solution. over all lighting is great.. and color is superb... I did find that in doing fine work I still need additional light..(closer) but over all lighting is still great and am...
