Lighting? enough to light a 35x30 building
Home or commercial? this is at my home but i assume it could be commercial

Well, from what I read I come to only one conclusion.
Hire a real electrician to do this job. Get a few estimates and advice on what you need to run what you have. They should not charge for an estimate.


"-i dont know sumin that will work"
"its electric it runs from a black box plugin thing"
From the replies you've given do you really feel you could do this job legally and safely???

When in doubt.
 

Ahh, come on Pete. The fire and ambulance guys have to make a living too. lol;) ;) :rolleyes:

Chuckman, Look at your equipment. It should tell you on the data plate how many amps it draws. This will help give you some idea of what you will need.

But, after reading the rest of your posts...you may be better off with an electrician!

prob right

Speedy, are you hard headed or what? Black to black, white to white!!! What is so hard about that? I do it all Moe!

I hope you were being sarcastic with that remark, if not you opened up a big can of smelly sh*t.

Speedy and I go way back, don't worry about it, he knows where I'm coming from.
