Need Help with Lighting Technology Comparison

[upstatemike]

During my lighting research madness, I compiled some basic info. First post of this thread.

Thanks for the pointer! Also hoping to hear back from some of the folks I sent the spreadsheet to yesterday.

A chart that details mudring specs could intimidate or confuse somebody just trying to compare the different options at a high level.

Got it. Anyway, it sounds like the comparison you're working on will answer >90% of my questions - and I can join the dots myself after that. Thanks!

What about putting it up as a wiki table somewhere?

Or maybe as a google spreadsheet?

Sounds like it is already useful and being readily available and editable by anyone would refine it quickly.

This might be a good idea but I am not familiar with google applications. I'll need to educate myself so I can set it up.

I still have some blanks to fill in for ALC and Z-Wave. If anybody familiar with these technologies is willing to fill in a few boxes on a spreadsheet (Excel 2007 .xlsx format), PM me with an email address that I can send the file to.

This looks pretty easy except I will probably have to revert from .xlsx to the older .xls format before importing it to Google. Once we get a little further along with the Hardware Controller, Software, and Residential Escalator tabs I'll set up an account and try putting it up there.

Ok. You can just copy/paste also. Let it loose!

I don't know about cut and paste. There is a lot of conditional formatting that has to move over. I'll look at it down the road once I see if it this spreadsheet is going to shape into something that is actually useful to anyone.
