Darrin - Thanks for the video! I've recently started a campaign to replace all the old halogen bulbs on my truck with LEDs. That got me thinking about the fluorescent bulbs in my kitchen; and that's how I found your DIY video. Quick question: I know fluorescents use a ballast, and LEDs normally need a "driver". Is the driver for your LEDs built into the tube? Thanks.
@slambonie 16 күн бұрын
@@jamesz9139 I have a link in this thread somewhere. You do need to remove the ballast and install specific led bulbs. It's not a difficult job. If you can't find the leds in the feed. Hit me up again. I'll send you a link. I'm camping with limited connectivity. My page keeps freezing. I'll try to remember to repost the link if I can find it to this reply. 👍 4 Pack T5 12 Inch LED F8T5CW LED Replacement F8T5 LED 5 Watts 530 Lumens Cool White 4100k 120V F8 T5 Pack of 4 Bulbs

FFS... Ask any *real* electrician how many times they've worked on live circuits. Some times you just don't have a choice, and some times the choice is made for expediency. The negative comments are from White Knights and Net Nannies who don't know how to do DIY projects themselves *but* have plenty of sage advice for everyone else that *actually* do things, build things, fix things... instead of just *talk* about them. For KZbin, most people will cut power, wear goggles, and other PPE but in real life, most of those same people won't bother. They're more worried about getting dinged by KZbin. He's a full grown adult and therefore, can make decisions as to his own safety.

Basically, he eliminated the ballast, rewired the hot and neutral wires where needed, then replaced the bulbs with led bulbs. Not too difficult, but you do need to be careful that everything is connected correctly. Good video…except for bypassing the simple act of turning off the correct breaker switch. I’ve seen many electricians do that. It’s not very professional. Their just trying to save a little time.

I took the Grill to the beach on a camping trip 8/14/2022. I was not impressed at all with the Griddle attachment. 70 degrees in the morning and it took me about 1 full hour to cook Bacon, Hash Browns, and eggs for 2 people. Way too long! The griddle does not get hot enough (Waited 10-15 minutes until grill was 325-350) when it does get to a decent temp and you put food on... The temperature drops (200-225) so much and the recovery time is way too long. I had fire box on 100% on high. The next day/morning I used the PLANCHA attachment and it worked 100 times better. I may never use the Griddle going forward. I may have wasted my money on this attachment. The burner/firebox and BBQ attachment and Plancha attachment all are great!!! They missed with the Griddle attachment in my opinion. I may sell it on Ebay. I will never use it. It's not worth the propane or time to wait for this attachment to work properly.

Looks like your filter is a 720 mine is a 620 and says it need 7.5lbs of DE. I called 3 different Leslie’s stores and they all told me that the cup I bought - the same size you are using is equal to 1/2 LB of DE. That being said, you should be using 14-15 scoops as they told me I need to put in at least 12 scoops up to 15. Seems like a lot! By their calculations you should be using 17 or 18 scoops. Your thoughts?
@slambonie 2 жыл бұрын
I apologize but am no pool guy but I put in 7 scoops sometimes 8. I think my filter is a 48sq filter 12-15 scoops definitely seems like a LOT. The blue scoop says to use 10 scoops but my pool is fine with 7 well rounded or 8 scoops. I am sorry I can't help you more. But I agree you that 12-15 scoops is a bit much. Maybe call other pool companies or do a little more research on line. Maybe a Hayward pool forum??? If you have the same filter that I have (shown in the video) Try 8 scoops and see how it goes. Like I mentioned, I am not a pool guy. I am just trying to help people save money and I honestly don't have all the answers. Sorry about that.

Sorry for the late reply. 1st off I am not an electrician but I have played with electrical for some time but I would recommend as long as you have a hot, nutural, and a ground that's all you need. You do not need to go through all of the switches on the lights you just bypass the switches. Except for your main. To be honest it's difficult to answer your question without seeing what you have but there are some other videos on KZbin that might be able to help you from professionals. I apologize I can't help you but If you want to disable the switches that should be very simple to do. You just don't connect to the switchs, just continue the wires to the light bulbs.
