I have tested this on HDPE, and PE works unbelievably well - excellent for keel strips, etc

We developed it with an adhesive specialist here in the USA.

Tested on HDPE and left in the sun for weeks - still can not get it to break

It is called 2-Part MMA Structural Adhesive for LSE Plastics ~ PE-Bond Kayak500

I trust that this is of use to you guys, and let me know if you want me to do any specific tests on my Kayak, and I will do my best to save you guys from having to do the tests

I've seen this question come up quite a few times on Reddit, so I thought I'd share a solution that isn't always obvious.

Let's say you've installed a Lutron Diva dimmer from Home Depot and you're controlling dimmable LED drivers. Everything works fine until you need more lighting and suddenly you're limited by the dimmer's LED load rating (typically around 150W of LED load, depending on the model).

The answer isn't a bigger wall dimmer.

What I have found out from an integrator that works with us is that Lutron makes a Power Module (USA version: PHPM-PA-120-WH) that takes the dimming signal from the wall dimmer and switches the larger load for you. The wall dimmer becomes the controller, while the power module handles the current/load.

The power module is rated for 16A at 120V, which means it can control a surprisingly large lighting installation.

For example, if you're using 96W, 24V dimmable LED drivers:

• Each driver powers 96W of LED lighting.
• You could control around 18 of these drivers from a single PHPM-PA-120-WH.
• That's roughly 1,728W of LED power.
• On the 24V side, that's approximately 72 amps of available output.

Instead of being limited to one or two drivers, you can build a much larger installation while still using the same wall dimmer.

One thing that catches people out is that you won't usually find the PHPM-PA-120-WH at Home Depot or other retail stores. It's part of Lutron's commercial product range, so it's typically available through Lutron dealers and commercial electrical distributors.

Hopefully this helps someone. I've seen variations of this question come up several times, and this is often the missing piece when a residential dimmer needs to control a much larger LED installation.

A client recently finished this garage and sent us a few photos. I thought the lighting came out really well. It's a simple linear ceiling layout, but it completely changes the feel of the space.

Curious what everyone thinks. Anything you'd have done differently?

This commercial bar uses horizontal illuminated acrylic tubes to create a continuous architectural lighting feature behind the bar.

The goal was to achieve a smooth, even glow while keeping individual LED hotspots to a minimum. The horizontal lines draw your eye across the space and become a key design element rather than simply providing illumination.

I'm curious what everyone here would specify for this application.

Which LED color would you choose?
