How would you prepare yourself for the future, and your life and everything if you knew that you'd find yourself in a situation, again, wherein all you owned fit on your shoulders-- + or - a skateboard, a bike, or a scooter?

Its a known issue with HID lighting, they don't like to be turned on/off/on/off in quick succession - this will destroy the bulb I need a switch that prevents this, I'll likely go with a timer, but am open to advice and information pertaining to the topic.

So I had my light connected to a surge protector. After doing some reading, it appears the surge protector uses a rocker switch I read something about a see-saw type of switch -- and I'm wondering if this is what resulted in my bulb failure (from getting switch to OFF/ON/OFF) I used to use a...

-- I've got #6 x 1 in 2.54 cm fine thread drywall screws Not sure what general purpose drywall screw is most commonly used, took a guess - got one. Does anyone have any ideas as to what these screws could be utilized for? is it more than gypsum board on steel studs -- could I use that cabinet...

you know how when you plug a cord into a wall it sparks sometimes? my ballast has no on off switch, if it gets plugged into the wall - which it shouldn't, what happens? and why? why shouldn't it get plugged into the wall I think the answer has to do with arcing or power jumping on / off...

While not exactly intuitive -- something is off here Why an intermatic timer why not?

I just wanted to highlight what you wrote previously, it has been touched on a few times but needs to be restated every so often, I feel. -- Do you know the why behind this? what happens and how?

no need for electrical work, it all has outlet and uses less electricity than a gaming pc's power supply My question is does an intermittent change in power to a bulb cause it to go out? You bring up a question in my mind, -- what happens if a ballast is running with a dead bulb' -- I've never...

Can I plug straight into the wall? -- I'm worried that the electrodes will get jossled and my bulb will go bad -- If I remember correctly, I've seen this with lightbulbs where if they aren't secure they go bad or maybe too if the power goes up and down. I'd prefer having an on off switch on the...

square footage of the grow you asked. dimension are roughly 24 1/2" wide and 36" long tis about 5 foot tall. -- I actually just took the shelving cabinet out of the other side of my double closet, which has about an equally sized space, -- I wrapped some remaining panda film around it and it is...
