Smooth those sharp--and they're very sharp--hole edges before you run the wire. You will cut insulation otherwise. You can spin a slightly larger drill bit by hand.

I did it too. You'd have caught it when you started wiring. Oops! You can still recover and your reflector will cover the mistake. It'll still be purdy.

Below is my drill template. The small outermost holes (topmost and bottommost in the pic) are for the lens cover holder. I only put two screws in this light, it seemed enough. They are perpendicular to the length of the heatsink. The two larger holes are for threading the + and - wires to...

Oops too late, sorry man. If you line up the white plastic connectors over your black center line then the (-) and (+) wires run in the same channel and you aren't having to hop a wire over a heatsink fin or try to drill another hole to get the + wire into the - connector

Stop! When you layout the cob holder do it so the white wire connectors go over the same channel in the back of the heatsink!

How about this: "If a state is red, the poor probably didn't vote." There, I fixed it for you. I spoon fed you the damn research and you still cling to this trope you've got in your head that the poor are voting Republican. If they vote, they vote Democrat by a large margin. Fact. There are...

Tomato, potato. You were mocking the poor for voting a Republican. They don't. Now you're saying some county in Mississippi with 8,000 relatively poor individuals sucks up more aid per capita than, say, Cook County (Chicago). That's true, and totally irrelevant. If you stop massaging your...

Why do people drill and tap? Why not just use self-tapping rolling thread screws? I drove 50 self tapping screws into HeatsinkUSA aluminum without issue. Drill the hole through the sink and drive the screw. Done.

While you may find it amusing, it's not true. The poor vote disproportionately for Democrats. If they vote at all.

Punctuated equilibrium.

No. Inheritable.

Philips will work fine. I used hex head.

Tapping is completely unnecessary. Finished an 8 COB/lens installation (48 screws with lens holders) on HeatsinkUSA aluminum and just drilled through with a 3/32 bit and screwed in rolling thread hex head screws. Never broke a screw and never had an issue. Occasionally a screw will get hard...

You're absolutely right.

Let me explain it to you. Most of the people who don't have healthcare are marginalized. They're unemployed, illegal aliens, and/or the poor. Powerless, except for their single vote, if they even cast it. They don't give campaign contributions. Even Bernie needs money. We've already had...

We need rational discourse and the end of hyperbole. Example: the Rs screamed "Death Panels!" during the health care debate and the Ds mocked them for it. I think the Rs had it right, actually. I had a business in London, Borough of Southwark, south of the Thames, stone's throw from the...

Totally agree. We're paying enough--right now--for everyone in the US to get gold-plated care. The money needs to be rationally applied. That said, the US consumer deserves a full share of blame. We over consume. We demand spurious treatments. We want flat screens and private rooms in our...

I pretty much agree with you point by point. Obama's ideas weren't his problem. Just his execution. You live in New England? Do you have a feel for Sanders?
