Does this mean my plant needs more light, or less?

it seems such a waste. Is there anyone who offers cartridges which have screw off top or bottom so it can simply be refilled with fresh activated carbon? I can find 50 pouinds of activated carbon for like a dollar a pound. That would be about 1/20th the cost of buying a whole plastice cartridge every few months.

If so, do they only do so during certain hours or is this service available during all store hours?

I have a historic house with intricate exterior woodwork, and it hasn't been painted in 50 years.. It looks salt and peppered. I need to sandblast the house, which will be the quickest and easiest way. It would be impossible to scrape this house.

My question is, can someone help me understand what type of sandblasting equipment I need to buy to get this done? I've seen smaller sandblasting equipment at lowes and homedepot, but it would take forever. What do painters use? where can i buy something a little more heavy duty to get this process done?

Thanks!

I was changing it was a regular 60 or 100 watt bulb but a few months ago I decided to use a halogen bulb and that one wore out so quickly too. Why do I have to change this bulb so frequently?

Is this 100 in/lbs driver strong enough. Milwaukee was unable to answer 100%. They said it should not be a problem.

The driver in question is a Milwaukee 2401-22.

My mate wont use a guard on the bench saw because it is used all day every day and the guard gets in the way. He takes full responcability if there is an accident to himself, so he says whats the problem? I agree but a workmate disagree's.
Help us solve this one and we will go with the majority.

After the thermostat calls for heat, the igniter glows red, all of the burners starts and the flame looks good. However, when the blower starts, two burners are ok and two other burners will not stay on, they go on and off. I can see the "flame" of the bad burners dose not go up but tries to travel to the two good chambers. I have cleaned the burners and crossover. I suspect that the opening above the two bad burners is blocked, or somthing wrong with the blower (only after the blower starts, the two burners become bad).

My question is: what is wrong and how can I cure it?

To my understanding that a commercial circuit breaker has 20 amp load or approx 2200w load. I have a circuit breaker that is shared both 110V light fixtures and 12v light fixtures

One (1) flourescent fixture with 4 x 32w bulbs = 128w
One (1) 110v tracklight with 3 x 50w halogen bulbs = 150w
Three (3) 12v tracklight with 4 x 20w halogen bulbs = 240w

Total watt is 518w which is below the wattage limit.

But by the equation Watt / Volt = Amp,
The total AMP load for the three 12v tracklights with 12 halogen bulbs: 12 * (20w / 12v) = 20 amp

I know there is something wrong here that does not add up. Please help. I am planning to add one more 110v tracklight fixture with 3 x 50w halogen bulbs if it is possible.

thanks
