Tim from St.louis Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 I'm looking for several different types of LOR boxes to mount the LOR cards in.
MikeyRo Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 (edited) http://store.lightor.../enforpcco.htmlThis is the only one I could find that LOR sells. Edited June 29, 2012 by MikeyRo
Orville Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 Might try some of your local electricians. Sometimes they have boxes that have been used that you can get very cheap or even free.
imawlkr2 Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 I got mine from a Comcast installer. Asked if he knew where I could get a weatherproof box. He told me to wait a minute and brought me in one. I have done this three times now. Once it was a cheap flimsy box, but the other two are real nice.
spomalley Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 I haven't bought anything from these guys but they seem to have a good selection, http://www.excess-supply.com/
Ponddude Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 The boxes LOR sells are excellent. I use them for all my LOR products as well as some other projects as well. Very watertight and plenty of mounting holes.Greg
Max-Paul Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 Try these guys out. I use the CG-1500 and I dont have to use a shoe horn to get the wires in . I did have to make my own adapter so that I can anchor the board to the box. But the high wattage heat sink might match the mounting bosses in the back of the box.http://wlcventures.com/zencart/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1&zenid=d5i23tn3js64hdvubs5ij7gfb6
flogger7 Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 I got mine from these guys. Had them in hand a few days after I ordered them.http://www.dfcco.com/p-1732-afl-telecommunications-cg-1500.aspx
spomalley Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 I'm pretty sure the boxes that wlc ventures has are the same boxes as excess supply so if you chose cases that these guys sell you could do a price comparison that would give you the best price between the two (don't forget shipping).
magish01 Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 Has anyone had experience with WLC. Sent an order in 2 weeks ago, and was charged. No response. Have emailed twice, no response. Should I worry.
Max-Paul Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 magish01,did they have any in stock at the time you ordered? I will admit that I too got the run around for a bit. Seems that 1 minute they had stock and next they did not and it took several months before he got some more stock. Its almost like he will take your money then when he has enough outstanding orders he will order from his supplier. Once things start to come in, he will get the backordered items out. I bought a case of 6 of the CG-1500. But I did get them, even though I was at wits ends and about to demand my money back. Lets just say that I am changing my ways and this was a test of my patience.
Tim Fischer Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) Has anyone had experience with WLC. Sent an order in 2 weeks ago, and was charged. No response. Have emailed twice, no response. Should I worry.Folks on DIYC seem to speak very highly of Chris, so I wouldn't worry. They just seem to be very slow. I'm waiting for a shipping invoice for my order as well for a few weeks now.I think he's running this more as a service to the decorating community than a business, so you have to have lower expectations than you would at a 'real' company. It does test the patience sometimes when you're used to having items ship out the day you ordered them at other places. Edited July 1, 2012 by Tim Fischer
magish01 Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 Yeah, items showed 27 in stock. Did an order for SPT wire quite awhile back and he kept me updated. Was just wondering if things had changed. Will give it more time. Thanks all.

Will give it more time. Thanks all.If you read his terms and conditions, "In Stock" doesn't mean what you think it means - it can mean that he's ordered it from his supplier and it's on the way to him. But it could be several weeks out yet.
Paul M Krupa Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 Tim,If you are going to mount more than one board in a box you might look at www.store.solutionsdirectonlinestore.com. I am looking at the AM 1868L to mount three boards in with room for a fourth at a later time.PMK

Before you order from him, make sure he HAS the items in stock. And order EARLY. Edited July 1, 2012 by TJ Hvasta
magish01 Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 Not really concerned about the time frame, but would like a response to my emails
flogger7 Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 Has anyone had experience with WLC. Sent an order in 2 weeks ago, and was charged. No response. Have emailed twice, no response. Should I worry.I had a tough time getting a response from Chris. I eventually cancelled my order and went with dfcco because I couldn't wait in 'radio silence' any longer. That's just my experience. Lots of others have had great things to say about wlc.
George Simmons Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 I ordered spt wire and enclosures from Chris during the pre-sale and it all arrived at approximately the time he said back then that it would. Can't report on return emails since that wasn't a factor.
rmturner54 Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 I use what is called demarcation enclosures. http://www.gomultilink.com/Catalog/Product.aspx?Path=101730135025AThe link is just an example.
