[dms-discuss] DANGER LIGHT

[Robert Nickerson]

Hi

So I put up that bank of 3 lights back by the projector screen. The 
intent is to give more light back there to the folks running a meeting.
After starting the project at around 8:30pm I got it done by about 10pm, 
and went to turn it on.
.
The switch wheel fell apart in my hands! I think I got these bank of 
lights around the  year 2000 and never used them at all, never took them 
out of their box.

Anyway the cord now has a small air gap of about one inch where the 
switch was on the negative side of he cord, so DO NOT PLUG  it in.  I 
decided to see if it was hot, and I did feel the electricity.

Perhaps I will fix it next Monday, so it will work either plugged in, or 
unplugged, or they can be wired directly along with the other lights so they
  just "come on"  on the master light switch. I'd leave that for others 
that know bettter than I though.

I did take one of the empty power strips, and mounted it up on the 
rafter, so that the projector power plug, and this light bank could have 
electricity.
  I didn't mess with the Pi that is running the web camera. Though it 
probably got some great shots of me cursing, and goign up and down the 
ladder way too many times.

I can't recall exactly if I left the power strip on or off,  so if 
anyone has a problem firing up the projector, that is where i would look.

Thanks
