Re: Transformers?
Ive been using some of the same methods. I asked that question because I was actually at Home Depot the other day and seen a Hilti gas powered concrete saw and thought that would probably be a great method to cut through those stubborn rocks. So a concrete saw does do the trick? I will be purchasing one of those real soon.

Re: Transformers?
Take a look at one of these. The saw will cut through rebar and concrete real fast. Yea I know it looks like a wood chainsaw but it's not.

Re: Transformers?
Northern Tools online and try renting it at your local rental place. There are some other threads about this tool where it is talked about.
IHI likes it. Attachment 2106 CAN DO! Last edited by CE1; 05-02-2006 at 07:56 PM. |

Re: Transformers?
Paul, back to your original question of transformers--I personally like the FX Luminaire series, as they have large lugs to bite down on the cables. They are UL 1838 listed and very cost effective too. I also like the large 1-1/2" knockout at the bottom for one conduit out.

Re: Transformers?
I like the Pro series Kichler and Vista transformers.
Kichler because you can mount it on a very uneven surface like a rough stone wall and sometimes the door lifting up makes for easier access to the terminals in a tight spot. I do prefer the terminals on this one better too. Vista if I have room to work with and a flat wall to mount to. I know the door comes off, but sometimes that isn't enough. Cost doesn't effect which one I choose. |

We use primarily MDL based units from Cast and Kichler but we are about to try the very cost effective coppermoon units to help us get more proposals approved. Unique is our choice when dimmable lighting is required. |

Re: Transformers?
I have been using Nightscaping Powercenters exclusively since my inception in 1998. They are robust, never fail, installer friendly, and have the best selection of on board, modular control options on the market.
I have tried the Vista, Kichler and Hadco units but prefer the Nightscaping Powercenter over all others.
