Thanks 2Biz for taking the time to find that worthwhile very useful calculator. I bookmarked that webpage as it is seems like a good reference & good information. mike walsh www.kingkoin.com

Earl & others, I am thinking the explanation for this actual better illumination is that lumens are more directional than with the Scottdale bulb that is possibly not accounting for its lumens that they are not admitting are not effectively reaching the target areas the same as the more...

The above post should read "overnight lows rarely above 70° F" The edit post came up blank.

2Biz, Thanks for the above link ... it goes into much more detail than the albeit lesser one that I posted. Having gone through a process with my personally owned accurate identical model light meter that is shown on the link ... it seems like it is pretty hard to refute their ... I dare say...

Rudy, The link to your pic appears to be not working. Otherwise ... your post is very valuable to those of us who see those kinds of doors as a potential viable option. We put in Airlift Strapeze counterweights with Airlift Zap operators before the Airlift XRS & similar doors came out ... but...

As many of you know on the majority of our LEDs we went the external LED driver route with extra bright strips based on previously posted considerations. Has anyone gone with tubes that have LED drivers easily replaced if needed? This article is over 2 years old but I am thinking that it may...

Just to add to 2Biz's posts ... when considering stainless material for a project ... it is usually a lot less costly to find perfectly good stainless off of discarded equipment than to buy brand new stainless. Having a nifty affordable PowerMax Plasma Cutter that we bought from a local welding...

Soapy, That is good information for us since we like the idea of being able to have another brand that we can go to if & when we complete our changeover (for dollar coins) to car wash style coin mechs for over 50 pieces of our laundromat equipment. I know that Secure Coin short drop version...

We have an very inexpensive less than $200 from Menards oil-less single stage Powermate 200 PSI compressor that has wheels on it. Extremely noisy (like wear ear protection) but we are using it just as a backup & because it has enough CFM ... our for our portable plasma cutter. It is more...

Kevin James, Wow, it sounds like you & some others have more experience with the IDX coin mechs than we do! Do the IDX actually sometimes have more wrong with them than the personality plug & the occasional need to dry one out thoroughly that was temporarily affected by self service in bay...

QL for us. This is not to knock IDX, Parker, &/or GinSan though. We had great luck with Parker single coin & with IDX. The IDX we still use but we tend to use them now where we do not have the intense moisture (both overhead bay doors shut in wintertime) such as the Vacs, Dog Wash & hopefully...

Another ongoing reality with both driver & driverless are the following hack vulnerabilities...

Paul, You have probably seen this one via googling: http://www.cardfellow.com/blog/charging-customers-a-credit-card-convenience-fee-at-check-out/ I see what you mean by all kinds of "paper doll world wordsmith" technicalities including some differences in individual state laws regarding how...

Just want to add as something to consider ... the bypass hose used with the unloader or a regulator & a line a froze or whatever plug situation ... the water will get extremely hot within that bypass hose ... if run very long with both the weep or full shut off gun in a frozen line or frozen...

2Biz, If the operator has existing enclosures they could be used to house power supplies. Since the early 70s we have been messing with all kinds of low voltage jacketed cable within the wet bays for alarm sensors, cameras, 2-way intercom etc ... so I really don't see the 12VDC wiring as being...

Randy, That is an interesting development! If Jason is a token operator ... it could possibly be an even better fit. Based on my positive experience & many laundromat owners ... if we could get some serious lobbying from larger Metro areas (with the ATM manufacturers & distributors) so they...

It seems like the following should not be ruled out for some of us based on the IP67 & coupled with a good deal on IP67 MeanWell 12VDC power supplies & a good deal from a bulk sales aluminum flat outfit...

Lisa, WR was one of my favorites too ... along with Mike Vukelic who also passed away but also should be remembered for his efforts to educate some of the rest of us! BTW, I have a friend classmate lady who moved with her husband first to Apple Valley, Minnesota & then to San Diego! mike...

Anybody having a laundromat with several hundred strainers for all the water valves on their washers ... need to be extra vigilant when it comes to making sure the water is flushed with a large enough fire hose because dirt & filings can sometimes be very significant. One problem problem we had...

lilb93, I am not sure what the distinction between a power supply & a ballast is ... but we chose IP67 rated MeanWells also for our 24 VDC output power supplies for our extra bright 850 lumens per foot Quad LED Strips strategically spaced in the most effective way. We did that in our less...
