agreed, but while i do take advantage of may high tech security options, some habits just die really hard.

are the two circuit lines in a double pole, single throw (DPST) switch electrically isolated? specifically, could I run A/C across one line and D/C across the other?

Hi all,
After having spent months in the electrical forum, now for a visit to HVAC. I have a server closet in my newly remodelled basement office....

thanks for the NEC cite.
i'll give my electrician acquaintance a call and have him look it over with regard to space.

i have two rooms in my newly remodeled basement. i ran two separate 20A circuits in each room (one circuit to the south and east walls, one circuit to the north and west walls). in case your...

jadnashua is correct, it is the Lutron Maestro line. Leviton also makes a similar product, the Acenti, however style and feature wise I prefer Lutron. Lutron also makes I/R and R/F remotes for...

yes, it works, not exactly sure of the science, but it does the trick. it's especially effective when i use the panic button as a car-finder in a big parking lot.

to quote Dr. Edward Teller, father of the hydrogen bomb, "when you make something foolproof, you will always find that the fool is bigger than the proof".

yes, i do like my user-friendly GFCI with...

what, you're going to go make me look it up myself? :p

seriously though, thanks for the reference, i'm going to go google it now.

not completely necessary. if all you have is a 1-gang box. both leviton and broan/nutone make double and triple stacked switches for bathroom light/fan use. broan even makes one that's a triple...

Speedy, please enlighten us as to what those clearances are.

Thanks

a sad truth. i don't know which is more disturbing, that people actually lack common sense, or that they don't actually lack it, but are too lazy to use it.



agreed, but as is pointed out...

tell me about it, not my favorite either. but for real fun, i ran 30A, 10-2 wire for my server closet (because the UPS I want has an L5-30P plug). oy vey!

not sure i see the problem with this, other than it's not dressed nicely.
please elaborate on why this is bad.
thanks

standard caveat: i am not an electrician, however, i have wired two bathrooms with such lights and they have passed inspection. that being said....



my understanding is no, unless the switch...

many years ago, i helped my dad hang a drop ceiling in our basement. i came away from that experience having learned two important things.
1) how to properly hang a drop ceiling
2) knowing that...

Recessed lights can be used equally well for main lighting or accent lighting. In my basement remodel, I am using 4 tube flourcescent troffers as my primary light with dimmable lower wattage (40 ~...

good thought. i'll ask my rep when I talk to him again. although i have a hunch the answer would be no, after all, that just means less smoke detector sales for them.
thx

I have just installed a motion sensor security light on an exterior wall. the inisde of that wall is the kitchen and happens to be right behind the refrigerator. Power for the light comes in the...

i'll have to look into the drop panel. i'm assuming that in instaed of the flexible fiberglass panel, it's made of a firm material that can hold screws and anchors, but not as heavy as plywood.

two would be better than one, but both sides of the hvac chase are drop ceiling and i believe i've only ever seen wall mounted detectors when a drop ceiling is present. I'll talk to the ceiling...

perhaps this will help.
