Matthew sent in this photo above of his keyboard stand using our 18/2 SJOOW Portable Cord to power the LED Lights. Here is what Matty had to say: My name is Matty-T. I tour in the band Blu Simon. Last summer I decided to build a stand for my Moog synthesizer that would really stand out on stage. I used aluminum extrusion from MK North America to build the telescoping center support. The unique T-Slot shape worked well as lighting channel, which I filled with high density LED lights. I then fashioned a tray and legs out of steel. The steel pieces were coated in plasti-dip to grip and protect the instrument and floor. The tray includes a tightening mechanism to hold the keyboard in place as it rotates. The tray is mounted to the stand with a ball joint from Maui Mount that allows for angling toward the audience and movement throughout the performance. The cable (18/2 SJOOW) used to run the LED’s was purchased from Wire and Cable to Go. Thanks for the submitting your photo Matty and we will definitely have to check out your band when they come to town!

The most popular 6 gauge & 8 gauge wires are our THHN/THWN-2 . Our customer, Stan, in Arizona sent us this photo above of a recent solar project he completed last summer. Here is what Stan had to say: Installed 3000 watts of solar this past summer. Purchased 3 different color spools, 350′ each of #8 THHN for the connection to the Controller. Having access to different color coded wire made the job that much easier to install. This also has #6 THHN wire that I purchased going to my critical load panel which is supplied by a battery back up, if the grid looses power.
