I have wired it as described on the Lennox SL280UHV furnace schematics (Humidifier to "C", other wire to HUM1 contact, HUM2 contact to "R").

    Hi, I have a 12 volt led circuit. I have a 10 watt led strip but plan to add many more. The power supply is going 40 feet from the actual led strips. The led strips are each a meter a piece. I am not worried about voltage drop across them. I am not sure which power supply to get or how a...

    I'm resheathing and siding my house and I'm not sure what I should do around where the electrical comes in, it looks like the original sheathing was put under the power meter which will make it hard to tear off the old stuff. Or should I have an electrician (or power company) come and pull it off?

    I just bought a DC gear motor- I'm trying to spin a 20 pound disk at approximately 33 rpm. I realize I need to hook it up to a power source, but I'm having trouble figuring out the proper source. I'm not too keen on buying multiple 12v batteries and connecting them, also, I've heard something...
