I didn't take the job. And before I did anything for a company like them, I'd have to set up an ach block. Otherwise, per my banker, it's possible that they can do a reverse ACH. My bankers has been after me to set that up, though there is a monthly fee. sigh, there's a monthly fee to just about anything with banks. Paul, keeping busy i hope? Rocco -
Take the Money 1st. ACH the money. Then do the job. *** Credit Cards can be cancelled up to 18 months *** -
Wow, you will have to root through "their" protections. -
A national sign company that I've dealt with for at least twenty-five years wants us to sign their vendor packet again this year. At first it was a few pages but grew over time. Last year it was fifteen pages. Now it's twenty-two pages., plus a three page NDA. I will have someone look it over and give me their opinion but it's getting ridiculous. Their paperwork pusher will say that its' all "standard things" but standard for who and in whose favor? Even if they gave me a ton of work, and it's only been one or two jobs a year recently, I'd be hesitant. if i didn't know someone that does contacts for a living, I'd have to pay an attorney to go over this packet. This is a national that has a good rep but it's getting to the point that we all need an attorney on hand at all times to go over paperwork. Rant over.

This is the late April 2026 Update This month we added in: GE's TX GEN4 12v .9w 6500K LED Module G2G's WOW II Red 12V .72W Also Including the GWH IV Snap Shot of the Project which is also included in the April Evaluation PDF Sheet. The most important thing to take notice i2 the FC / Watt (Foot Candles per Watt). This is the LED Chip Quality and Efficiency, this is the amount of Light Per Power. The bigger the number the more efficient that Light Source is. You might see a Higher Wattage LED Module with a low FC/Watt value, that means it's not too efficient....could even be pushed and in some cases over driven running hot, which can result in shorter life. I'm going to drop an example to put things in perspective. Let's take two 2LED Modules...the Brighton - II, and the EveryLite Rebel LED Module. The Brighton II is .8 watts, the EveryLite Rebel is almost a 1 watt Module at .96w The 362 Foot Candle average EveryLiteRebel is brighter than the B-II Module at 348.5 FC AVG. However the B-II Module has a 108.91 Foot Candle Per Watt Average. So if we were to boost the Module Power of the Brighton - II and make it say, a .84w module instead of a .8w module then we can project the Brighton II Module with Foot Candle per Watt of 108.91 to have a Foot Candle Average of 365.93. The .84w Brighton - II Module would be brighter, under driven, and more efficient than the .96w EveryLite Rebel. Now the Flip Side... If we made the .96w EveryLite Module to a .8w Module apples to apples to the Brighton - II Module, we can project the Foot Candle of the .8watt EveryLite Module would be 301.66 instead of the 362 FC Average. You can see the Handicap here So Boosting the power of so-so chips will give you more light for the "Wow" factor, but in some case is over driving, there is more heat involved....and like all electronics...they hate and fail with heat. This is why a lot of LED MFG's recently make a 2 LED almost 1 watt Module and sell for $40 a bag.... Just something to take note of..... On another Note, I will be taking down the TBA Vendor as the light is too low, and the Principal / Sloan Prism Module as it is dated April's 2026 GWH IV Sheet GreatWhiteHope IV 042826 WOA.pdf
