Guest wbottomley Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I've been working on a decorators glossary for the past several days on my website. The content was collected from a combination of sources including LOR, PC, DIYC, Wikipedia, Dictionay, and a few others.I know they're some terms I'm missing and that's where I need your help. I need to fill this thing up with as much content as possible. This will in turn help newbies and a few others as well.Feel free to shoot me an email, pm, or use the contact us form on http://www.highcountrylights.comThank you for your help.EDIT: add glossary link: http://www.highcountrylights.com/glossary/Glossary-1/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cray Augsburg Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 How 'bout listing the different types of bulbs (mini, C7, C9, flood, etc.) and their typical current draw?Also, is this to be for a specific manufacturer, retailer? In other words, you could mention the Rainbow Flood, Spot and Wall Runner, etc.And are you going to copyright the glossary? :shock: (Sorry-couldn't resist.)Edit: Well, someone beat me to it!

I agree with you. I thought PC was personal computer. Now I know it is planet Christmas.More to add- Maybe AFCI? Arc fault circuit interrupter. I found out a controller and some lights set to shimmer will trip one of these in a heartbeat. Bedroom circuit went out every time I would play a certain song with LOR.
