01:10 rue_mohr sssh, I ben watching a movie past bedtime
01:10 rue_mohr also watching the boiler
01:10 iamturnip is the boiler going to run away?
01:10 rue_mohr no, its out of fuel
01:11 iamturnip oh
01:11 rue_mohr I turned off the draft, it should be putting itself out, forwhatever fuel it has left
01:12 rue_mohr otherwise I dont see large flames and steam, so I presume everything is ok
01:13 iamturnip question about wiring then i wil lgoto bed myself
01:13 rue_mohr shoot
01:14 iamturnip i have a outdoor security light wired up with an extension cord... do u know the one i speak of?
01:14 rue_mohr down the front hall?
01:14 iamturnip yup
01:14 rue_mohr k
01:14 iamturnip can i put another one on the same line?
01:15 rue_mohr 500W?
01:16 rue_mohr upgrade it to a 14AWG cord, your good to 1400W
01:16 rue_mohr dont use that 18AWG junk
01:16 iamturnip its a heavy duty extenstion cord atm
01:17 rue_mohr mmm but what guage wire
01:17 iamturnip I only use one light bulb in the two socket setup
01:17 rue_mohr lots of "heavy duty" cords are still 18 or 16 guage wire
01:17 iamturnip and the other buld will be only 60W
01:17 rue_mohr is the current light 300W?
01:18 iamturnip not sure I would have to look..its a standard flood light
01:18 rue_mohr round screw in?
01:18 iamturnip yes
01:22 rue_mohr oh 60 to 90W
01:22 rue_mohr your good for another 90 sure
01:23 iamturnip ok it is just to light the door at the top so people can use their keys
01:24 iamturnip the other light is for filming assholes who try to break in so it has to be bright
01:25 iamturnip i'll tell you though the wiring inside those lights are scary
01:25 iamturnip little tiny wire that you twist the much larger wire going in to it
01:26 rue_bed yea, they are allowed to get away with that inside the device cause they are built to contain fire
01:26 iamturnip grreaat.. i am sure the plastic housing will hold up
01:26 rue_bed if its csa stamped the fire isn't supposed to be able to leave it
01:26 iamturnip so for wiring it...would i split the two wires into four so each light can operate independantly?
01:27 rue_bed er?
01:27 rue_bed kecat loptop close
01:27 iamturnip well if i just do it in series the bottom light would not turn on till the top one did
01:29 rue_bed er, I should catch more details from ya later
01:29 rue_bed you want to sequence them?
01:30 iamturnip no
01:30 iamturnip just have them operate sepratly
01:30 iamturnip but o nthe same wire
08:47 rue_mohr iamturnip, their motion lights?
11:43 iamturnip yup
