'evenin, Voltizens.
I feel for you, Celti. Between our trip, gifting 120ml to our friend in Va., being busy with Leo and just catching up I didn't mix anything for too long. Over
three days, the week before Christmas, I ended up mixing a liter and a half, but that did include some "custom, high octane" for our friend.
We were in the 50's today but it's been dropping all day and we're supposed to get some snow tomorrow. Nothing significant, and inch or two, and it'll probably melt on Sunday. Icing on the roads might be a problem tomorrow afternoon and night, though.
I did have a "major victory" today. I've been converting all our lighting to LED from incandescent and halogen. The inside of the house was no problem, just bulb replacement, and I did replace a 500 watt halogen with a 50 watt LED with no problem, as well. We use the X10 remote system which is pretty convenient. Anyhow, I ordered more "high power" LED flood lights to replace the halogens on the shed and in the back yard. When I installed the first one, on the shed, it would turn on remotely but not shut off, not very convenient since the shed is about 100 feet from the house.
The LED lights are powered by a switching power supply and the one in that floodlight was producing too much interference for the X10 system to work. I tried filters, from X10, on the light with no results. So I ordered two, new, different power supplies from other vendors. I put one in one of the new lights and everything works fine with the remote system. Now, I've got to get two more of those power supplies and four more lights with that model power supply so I can replace all the halogens.
Bottom line is the outside lighting power consumption will drop from 2100 watts to 210 watts and I'll be adding a light, on a shed further from the house, to boot.
