bedroom set outlet image
atariblues
i currently have an IKEA termosfar track light set now, but i just heard from another friend (who has the same system) that it can only be installed with a overhead light already in place.
OR does someone know how to switch which outlets are connected to the light switch in the room? currently the only one is next to the bed, an needless to say, its pretty dark in the bedroom!
-- How can i tell if the track system i bought can connect to a power cord?
Answer
Track lighting can either be powered from an attachment at the end of the track that has a power cord coming out of it or you can hook the lighting system directly up to wiring in the ceiling (use the plug attachment, but cut the cord down and wire it directly to the wiring in the ceiling).
If you don't have wiring in the ceiling, you then have to run the power cord - and probably an extension - along the ceiling to the wall and then down the wall to an outlet. You can tack the cord to the wall with cable clips (loops of plastic that wrap around the cable and have a hole in each end for running a screw through). You can run the cord down a corner, so it's not as obvious, and then run the cord along the baseboard to a switched outlet.
In order to change which outlet is switched, you would have to have access to the wiring in the wall. That means you'll have to cut out the drywall all the way along the path of the wiring from the switch to the outlet you want switched. This is because you'll need to re-route the wiring for the outlet you want switched to the switch instead of its current, non-switched supply.
In other words, it's probably not worth the effort to change which outlet is switched. Just run the power cord to the switched outlet.

How could I keep the air con from freezing over if I have the temp set at 50 degrees?

Hi, I have a oversized Whynter 14000 BTU Dual Hose Portable Air Conditioner for a 120 square foot bedroom. I know it could probably bring it down to that Temperature in 3-4 hours but would like to know if it is dangerous for the compressor and how I could prevent the unit from freezing over? Thanks
Answer
Two ways, the first less expensive, but not as safe.. Find a "trol-a-temp" Freeze protection sensor (opens at 36 degrees) and find a place to mount it on the evaporator side of the coil,in between the evaporator coil, and the suction side of the compressor right on the copper pipe, then hook up the two wires to "break" the control voltage to the compressor contactor.
Second, Find a head pressure control kit, PENN makes a good one. Hook up the 1/4"
Pressure connection at the outlet of the condenser coil,inbetween the condenser coil, and the evaporator coil then hook up the wires to "break" the condenser fan, so it cycles, maintaining a decent head pressure, so you do not "flood" the compressor with refrigerant
