extending electric box / ballast questions
All-
1) I am putting pegboard on the wall, and will be putting 1/4" strips on the wall as spacers. The area includes one outlet, and I would like to keep this flush with the new pegboard. Are there extenders I can buy at the big box stores that would keep the wiring inside the box up to the surface of the pegboard? 2) Are there ballasts for flourescent lighting that do not hum? I know I read there are but can't remember the specs? I am using 8' bulbs in a workshop. thanks all |

Yes, there are extension sleeves for the outlets and you can get an
electronic ballast for a 2- F296 T 12 fixture, which won't hum "Chris Carruth" wrote in message . .. All- 1) I am putting pegboard on the wall, and will be putting 1/4" strips on the wall as spacers.

I agree, the worst part about the "Google it, stupid" posts are that they don't post what search string they would use nor do they provide any links. Not everyone is a search engine phrase expert, and not all of us have the time to wade through numerous conflicting results. If they really knew that Google would find the answer, rather than just being jerks, they would show people how to do it. It's easy to assert that searching would work without providing any proof. Well that's the internet for you. At least he didn't provide an link to http://just****inggoogleit.com/ Ed |

Does your mother still wipe your butt? That's called a "crossed transaction". A response which completely doesn't fit the thing it's supposed to be a response to.

The something in this case is attempting to guess the code (word combination) that is accepted properly by Google. Sometimes this works well, and sometimes takes forever.

Thank you. You have now sufficiently described yourself. Your comprehension skills are also lacking; I was describing YOU. You are the one that cannot form a logic chain; another sign of your bipolar affliction. Have you taken your meds as prescribed? -- Tekkie Don't bother to thank me, I do this as a public service. |
