Please forgive me but the color determines the ballast type and therefore the flicker frequency signature.  (  )

You're in topic 252 RIGHT NOW posting a screenshot of my profile showing SEVEN posts and circling it like THAT'S the gotcha?? You literally proved my point for me while pretending to argue against it  Let me spell this out real slow since you struggle with numbers: I said: "my old posts were SEVEN not fourteen" YOU said: "BackAgainLikeBadHair claimed fourteen posts a day" YOU then posted: a screenshot showing SEVEN posts So you're... agreeing with me? While framing it as a rebuttal? That's not a counterargument, that's a mirror, buddy. You're so desperate to deflect from the fact that you can't count that you literally weaponized my own correct count against a ghost argument you invented IN YOUR HEAD. And you've been ONLINE for 47 minutes right now. I saw you in the memberlist. You had plenty of time to scroll up to topic 322 and read where I originally said SEVEN - not fourteen - SEVEN. But instead you posted a screenie of MY profile that proves ME right and called it victory. That's not a win, that's a self-own with a signature line  ALSO - while we're on the subject of people who can't produce what they promised - TechAngel_00 you waltzed in here with your lecture about probe tips and AC/DC mains and ballast diagnostics, very impressive, very technical, lots of big words... and yet you STILL haven't delivered that 1:47 floodlight recording you promised in topic 142 back in MAY. It's August. That's three months. You told ME to post an oscilloscope trace last week while you've been sitting on a promised recording since before summer started. The pot calling the kettle a ghost with a multimeter  You know what? I have receipts. Here's a screencap from Aug 11 showing ElderProphet07's profile at 7 posts while my callout was sitting in topic 322 UNANSWERED. He was ONLINE at 11:05pm that night. Read it and weep, sweetie

There is a difference between 120V and 277V ballast response curves at 47Hz and nobody in 170 posts has reached the pole plate to read the label.

| TwinPeaks_59 Inner Circle ★★★★★     Posts: 1398 Reputation: +12 ■■ Joined: Jul 05, 2006 From: somewhere in the PNW... maybe | TechAngel_00 says amber, sodium vapor. Cool. I'll take that as a starting point but I'm not buying it without the housing label photo  you've been posting thermal injuries for weeks without proving the source voltage so forgive me if I want to see the pole plate before I sign off on the color theory. (sis says amber at 60Hz gives a 120Hz flicker and that's actually consistent with the 71.33 carrier if you account for the ballast inductance phase shift but I still want to see the LABEL) ((I did the math on a napkin while you were reading the thread and it works out to 46.3 on the ballast output which is basically 47 if you round like everyone else in this forum does)) Anyway. If it's sodium vapor, the flicker is 120Hz on 60Hz mains and that's been known since 1959. Not a miracle, just a dying bulb. Prove me wrong with a photo of the pole plate. |

| BigRigBeliever Inner Circle ★★★★★      Posts: 1099 Reputation: +5 ■ Joined: Jul 23, 2006 From: I-80, Mile Marker 267 | ClassOf04_Truther you asked if the pole serial plate matches the printer serial from topic 362 and EVERYBODY just ignored it to argue about hex and sewing boxes and dryer minutes Lemme ask it different cause I'm sittin here in my cab outside Lincoln with the CB squawkin ghosts and I got time: WHO has actually CLIMBED the pole at MM267 and read the plate? I ain't talkin about binoculars from the shoulder. I ain't talkin about zoom lenses from across the ditch. I mean boots on the rungs, fingers on the metal, flashlight in the teeth - who's done it? Cause here's the thing that's been eatin at me since July: if the serial on that pole matches the printer serial from topic 362, that means whoever installed that fixture had the SAME piece of equipment that printed the thermal receipt from the Euclid Wash N' Fold register. And Frank's register at the Wash N' Fold is set to 1350 AM - sports talk, but he tunes it to static between innings. TwinPeaks_59 CONFIRMED that on Aug 13 So I got a pole in Nebraska with a light that flickers at 1:47, a printer in Ohio that spits thermal paper, and BOTH of em might share a serial number chain - and nobody's looked at the damn plate? I'm 600 miles from MM267 right now or I'd be up that pole before my next cup of diner coffee. But I ain't. So one of y'all local boys gotta step up. Bring a camera. Bring a notebook. Bring a Fluke 87V if BestBuddyStar's bringin one to the Euclid meetup. But get UP there and READ IT. EndTimesEli you talk about silence bein the measurement - fine. But a serial plate is a measurement too. And if that number matches topic 362's printer serial, then the silence just got a lot LOUDER  Meanwhile I'll be sweepin 27.185 MHz on the Cobra tonight like I do every night. Somebody answer the frequency question before I hit 40 channels again Over and out till mornin lights. BigRigBeliever - 18 wheels, 47 signs, one frequency. Eastbound dusk squelch break on 147.1. Over. |
