There are various strainer parts that go in this direction, but I haven't seen anything standard that I think would be appropriate.I agree that a 3d printed part is probably the best bet here, and there are enough 3d part marketplaces these days that I don't think that a custom part like that...

A few things here - First off, for circuit loading, standard practice is to use load current not power. This takes into account power factor. Secondly, your available power is split across 8 circuits, so your load also needs to be properly spit across circuits. As noted, for continuous loads...

Is there a reason that you are using approximations and assumptions about fixture beam profiles instead of building your plot based on the published photometric data from the fixture manufacturer? Field angle is defined as the angle to 10% ("full width 10% max"), while beam angle is defined as...

If the academic aptitude is there, I'll recommend looking at engineering degree programs and project/construction management instead of a "trade" program. The idea is to get the theoretical underpinning and "first principles" in the structured academic environment, as the "trade" aspect can be...

A few things to consider based on my experience working in various flexible spaces over the years:6000 sq ft is about a 75' square, You can fit ~200 people into a 60' x 30' seating area, so you'll have some flexibility in the room size/shape. When building the space, make sure to take into...

Channel ghosting on a ColorBlast 12 is almost certainly a leaky driver FET, and the lack of control sounds like either the FET has failed as more than just excess leakage current , or there are other issues in the driver circuit (guessing it's the former). Unfortunately, repair is difficult due...

Especially with the newer digital radios. While the digital stuff is much better from a range and spectral efficiency perspective, the lag makes them unusable for anything where timing closer than "nearest 2 seconds" is required.

Did a bit of digging on the 106-000003-08, and while I couldn't get a definitive answer due to the age of the product, it appears that it was a short-lived variant that included the Ethernet Data Enabler and an additional filter required to meet regulatory requirements in certain parts of the...

That generation of the Data Enabler has been discontinued for over 10 years. The functional replacement for it (in a different form factor, but with additional functionality) is the Data Enabler Pro, part number 106-000004-00. That's the direction I'd recommend going unless you absolutely have...

OOPs, I saw RE15, not R-15
