Bruce Navin replied to Paul Raymer's discussion Looking for a cure for a warping hardwood floor not caused by a leakBruce Navin replied to George Whiting's discussion Retrofit insulation on the roof over cathedral ceiling"A minor note-'plywood' can be a used as a bit of a generic term for a number of products.

Dale Sherman replied to Bruce Navin's discussion LED's interfering with Garage Door Openers"LEDs are pulsed on/off to get the maximum light from them while avoiding overheating. To run them on DC, they would need to be dimmer to keep from overheating. One can see this on/off cycle when using a laser pointer, too. Just…"
Bruce Navin replied to Bruce Navin's discussion LED's interfering with Garage Door Openers"One note-I addressed this just a moment ago above. But the garage door industry had the "rolling code technology" in place for quite some time when the military interference occurred. Even with a 1 in a billion chance of someone grabbing…"
Bruce Navin replied to Bruce Navin's discussion LED's interfering with Garage Door Openers"Something else just occurred to me regarding this situation in the article linked in the original post.

Paul Menconi replied to Bruce Navin's discussion LED's interfering with Garage Door Openers"It's not just garage door openers.
