Hi Max,
Does the beep only happen when the level is exactly level or is there a range
perhaps of changing tone or volume as dead level is approached?
I have never seen one but I am a little curious.
I have a ball/channel device I bought from RNIB when I was a student over there

It's a little hard to tell but I think it beeps at 0.1 degree and at each
change from 0.1 to 0.0 to 0.1 the other way. When you get real close to
zero it beeps its little head off. Farther away from 0 it doesn't make a
sound. There is no audible indication of which way the level is off.
as there are *certainly better vacs han this upright, *the *hand held
mentioned here is the one I strongly recommend.

When it hits level it gives a continuous sound too, so that makes it more

Tom, check the electrical code. I think you are limited to 7 items per line,
that includes switches, lights and such. If you have nine lights it will
require 2 circuits. Wattage wise, you can go almost 1600 watts on a normal

Definitely differences between incandescent and fluorescent. A halogen is a

physical things. But to answer your questions. If all these fixtures are on

Tom,
Here's a simple way to figure out how much you put on one circuit. The
formula is watts divided by volts equals amps, or amps times volts equals
watts. Also, you can put up to 80% on a circuit. For example, 15 amps
times 120 volts equals 1800 watts times .80 (80%) equals 1440. So, you
