EON.I Industries "Switch-IE" - Complete

As promised, here's the photos from the rest of the "Switch-IE" build. It was a great and enjoyable project, it had it's ups and downs for sure.
Most all was wired here, all switches I was just waiting on the  dimmer switches.

Just a back view of the box.

Double ground rails, switch wires stripped and ready.

Hooking up the grounds.

This is the view after everything has been wired up (aside from some wire nuts, I ran out). There's two ground rails, one common rail and one hot rail.

Test run! Everything worked perfectly! (Excuse the mess!)

Prepped for paint.

Finishing up the bracing and getting ready to put walls on.

First coat of paint on back side.

Painting sides.

First coat of lettering.

Second coat of lettering.

Fun artistic painting prep.

All the panels finished.

All ready for the first night!

Wiring all done up. Also a cameo from the flicker box.
So that's the project! I would like to mention that one of the nights it rained like crazy! If you notice there is a gap on the top, nothing bad happened the whole night it rained. She was built tough and built well. Keep watching for some new projects here in 2011!

New Name, Same Focus

Hey, so since creating the company and since the last project it's come to my attention that there was already a company named EON Industries, turns out they make garden markers...what a name huh? Well, I still loved EON so the new name would still include it. It's now EON.I Industries. If you wish to know the meaning just message me or leave a comment. I'd like to own the name prior to revealing what it means to many.

For new news there's not much. It seems as though ties to the previous client may have been cut, it's still early but we shall see. I know in the other blog I said I'd post more information and more pictures when I had the chance...I still need to but I'll post it here instead of on the other blog just to keep it separate. The "Switch-IE" worked absolutely perfect! There was only a few times where we lost power totally, this is because people inside would leave the floorboard heaters on so when they switched on, it cut power to everything. We got that under control though and impact was minimal. I was able to create a "fl icker box" which allowed chains of lights to fl icker randomly for that eerie effect, it worked pretty well for a scratch build in only about 10 minutes.

Overall, the project was a success! I'm proud of the work done and am looking forward to new projects in the future. I'll post the last of the pictures up a little later tonight. Leave some comments if you have questions. Thanks!
