TOPIC: This Is A SHOP Light! And That Is An EXTENSION Cord!

This Is A SHOP Light! And That Is An EXTENSION Cord! 14 years 4 months ago #33960

The key word in shop light is "SHOP!"

It is a light intended for the basement shop, or the garage shop, or the unfinished room shop, or the WORK SHOP!

It is not intended for under the deck!

Or any outdoor place for that matter.

Do you see the wiring?  That is an extension cord!

The key word in extension cord is "EXTENSION!"

An extension cord is for temporarily EXTENDing the cord for a tool or appliance to gain an outlet it cannot reach otherwise.  It is NOT to be used for permanent wiring.

The other end of this extension cord is wired directly into the outdoor receptacle box under the deck.  It must trip the GFI all the time!!  Unsafe!  Dangerous!

My recommendation:
  Well, my recommendation is ... aw, forget it, you already know what my recommendation is.

Cmon Jay!!

Your recommendation is for Billy Ray to take care of this situation. ::)

That light looks a little rusty. I am sure that set up is rated for a wet location.

For only 9.99 I say 9.99 I can take care of that for you. Plus shipping. 99.99
