The best RGB bulbs I’ve used
on September 26, 2020
Posted by: TJonesBC
Verified Purchase:Yes
I love the Phillips Hue lights. I’ve tried many other RGB lightbulbs that were cheaper, and there is almost no comparison. The Hue bulbs produce much richer light and more accurate looking colors. When I set it to purple, it truly looks purple. Other bulbs (cheaper, off brands) fall short in this area. Also the quality of the bulb construction is very good. It feels durable and solid, like it’s built to last. I also love how it integrates with all my smart home devices, where I can easily control the lights with a few simple words spoken to my Google Home or Amazon Alexa device.

Dry your clothes rapidly with this LG 27-inch electric dryer. It loads from the front for easy access, and it can handle days' worth of laundry so that you spend more time doing what's important to you. A drying sensor measures the moisture in this LG 27-inch electric dryer so that it switches off automatically when everything is perfectly dry.

Extremely happy with our new dryer
on September 26, 2020
Posted by: TJonesBC
Verified Purchase:Yes
My wife and I needed a new washing machine and dryer. We shopped around, comparing models and brands, and even calling local repair shops to get advice. But in the end, we just really liked all the features and the look of the LG units the best. They fit our modern house concept much better than other brands. Once we got this new dryer installed, my wife immediately started washing everything in the house. She told me that the new washer and dryer worked better than our old ones by a huge margin. And our old ones were $1000 units, so it’s a good comparison. Our favorite feature about the new dryer is that we only have to dry our clothes once. The old one, we would have to run 2-3 times before everything was fully dry.

Exceptional laptop, great performance
on July 27, 2020

Verified Purchase:Yes
This laptop is very solid. It feels quality, just as I've come to expect after using previous Apple MacBook models. This one replaced my 2015 MacBook Pro i7, and it honestly feels considerably faster and snappier, despite being an "Air".

Capture professional-quality stills and record 4K HDR video with this Sony Alpha 6600 mirrorless camera. The advanced real-time AF tracking and BIONZ X image processor allow for precise focus, while the 24.2MP APS-C Exmor CMOS image sensor delivers rich detail and true-to-life color reproduction. This Sony Alpha 6600 mirrorless camera incorporates five-axis SteadyShot image stabilization that compensates for blur caused by camera shake.

I really like this camera
on July 6, 2020
Posted by: TJonesBC
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought the previous model, the A6500 about 3 years ago. It was one of my favorite cameras I ever owned. More recently, I bought the A7 III to complement my A6500. My lineup of lenses includes a variety of both full frame and APS-C lenses. Even though I was often using the full frame camera, more than the APS-C camera, I didn't want to completely drop the APS-C line since I have so many lenses for it. But this camera gave me exactly what I wanted-- upgraded specs, a flipping screen and the same battery as my A7 III. That helped me consolidate into an easy-to-carry bag, etc. And I must say, using this camera feels exactly the same as using the full frame, except it's like I get a free 50% zoom on all my lenses. This is a great camera and I'm happy with my purchase.

High quality product

from Battle Creek, MI
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've been using APC for quite a few years, and I have been consistently happy again and again. I use the Back-UPS Pro 1000VA or 1500VA models to help protect commercial grade network equipment. To date, I have never had an incident where a power surge has damaged any equipment sitting behind one of these beasts. I would highly recommend this as a quality piece of hardware.

Is it acceptable to use a surge protector power strip with this unit, or should it just be a power strip?

It is never recommended to use a surge protector or power strip in addition to a unit like this. Also, if this is a commercial installation, it may be against fire code regulations in your area to daisy chain. This unit has plenty of outlets built into it already, so a power strip is not necessarily needed anyway. Having said that, I have personally used a power strip and/or surge s trip along with UPS units, for specific applications where it was necessary. I don't recommend putting a surge/power strip BEFORE the UPS unit, though.

I'm needing this to run a power supply to 2 mag locks. the power supply output 24v dc .5 amps. how long could this run my mag locks? there is 1 power supply on 2 mag locks.

Based on some basic electrical laws, if you are running 24v at .5 amps, you are only pulling about 12 watts. The 1500VA APC units are rated for about 5 hours. As I guess, I would think you will get somewhere around 8 hours of run time on this unit with your setup.
