They are 100 watt actual led high bay fixtures - around 13,000 lumens.

I have a 15 amp circuit with 14ga wire. I know 15 amps at 120volts is 1800 watts and if I recall you aren’t supposed to put over 80% continuously on it so 1440 watts max? Would it be wise to put 14 100 watt LED’s on a single circuit or would I be pushing my luck? The wires are already there and...

I am 41. You guys have me thinking on these lights. The ones I have are just the basic square metal boxes with the porcelain fixtures. If I get the ones platonic recommended will those just screw on to the existing metal boxes or is there more involved in mounting them? I am considering...

By the way that picture was taken 8 years ago when they were new. They are not that bright now.

Here are the lights I have now.

Ok thanks anyway. The price of the ones you posted isn’t totally out of the question I just have never been that concerned about the lighting out there. By that I mean currently the lights don’t seem to be working right but over the previous six years or so I never once thought they were...

Thanks for the reply. I have no idea the specs on the bulbs that are in there now but they are big CFLs that cost less than $20 each eight years ago. They are not like regular house sized bulbs they are bigger but I can’t imagine the specs on them being that great. I have worked in the shop an...

https://www.1000bulbs.com/product/202734/STONE-GGL50.html My shop is a 50x50x14. It has a total of 20 standard E26 sockets spaced evenly across the ceiling (5 rows of 4). I currently have some huge CFLs ( no reflectors)in there that were installed around 8 years ago. I was pleased with them...

Yes but can they hammer also? I want one tool that on one end has a hammer to pound the stakes in and on the other has something to dig with. This is what I am going to try

Wouldn't work for this. You can only slide something over the top of the stake down maybe an inch before you get to the thing the cable connects to. The entire stake is only maybe 15" long.

It will be a hammer. The guys complained about the weight when I bought some 3lb hammers so we went back to 2LB hammers. They need to carry a jug of salt water, the stakes, and a hammer. They dig the holes with the hammer. If they went SDS they would need to carry something else to dig the holes...

Thanks for the info. I ordered 5 estwings like in the picture and will weld tabs on them. I am hoping that welding the tabs on the side of the hammer that will not be used to strike with shouldn't hurt the striking face too much. I may TIG them. The stakes are expensive about $40 each. They...

Now that would be cool.

I will look into it and we do have a hammer drill with a concrete bit for when run into solid rock or very hard ground. We have to use it on about 5 stakes a day on average. The need for 5 guys is to carry everything and cover the distance. The hammering isn't super difficult I was just looking...

The current hammers work, but are not very good at the digging. Turning sideways I don't care if they do that I was just alluding to the fact that a hammer like I posted a picture of wouldn't work well because they like the large face. The stakes are placed 20' apart and we drive 1-1.5 miles of...

While this would sure get them in the ground it is too much to carry. We have 5 guys pounding these in the ground and don't want to buy 5 hammer drills plus they couldn't carry them, something to dig with, and the stakes. Also the stakes have little tabs on them and springs attached so might...

That would be perfect if the blade was rotated 90 degrees. The trapping hammers look like the ticket. I did not know you could weld on a hammer like that? We have lots of welders but thought a hammer was some kind of treated steel. If we can weld a tab on like that then that is what we will...

We pound 3/8" stainless steel stakes about 10" in the ground for geological testing. Thousands of them a week. We also have to dig small holes maybe 4" in diameter and just a couple inches deep. We have been doing this with 2lb sledges. Most the crew hits the stakes in with the hammer turned...

I use a moly grease for pins and bushings, tie rod ends, ball joints, etc and then use non moly grease for bearings. Moly really does wonders to protect pins and bushings like on a backhoe vs a normal grease.

It doesn't look right but as said it is still standing and looks like it has been there a while. Surely it has withstood some heavy snow loads.
