Yeah, my "c'mon" bit was a little agressive lol. If the people demand bollards, the gov't should require bollards. Doubt they were at the time of this incident which was the gist of my argument.

Yeah, I don't really see a downside besides the cost to implement it everywhere (not my problem). Simply pointing out that this is grasping as I can't imagine any (legal) negligence on the owner's part, and even less so on the tenant's (Apple).

Either way, I doubt it's a requirement (in this instance at least) otherwise they would have been installed. Commercial isn't like res where some handyman says "I won't tell the city if you don't!"

Right, and the barriers around gas pumps are a requirement, per code. I (highly) doubt bollards are required en-masse and code was simply ignored.

The only case to possibly be made here is against the gov't, and even then it's likely only a case to change the code not compensate the victims.

I say possibly because such a code seems very unlikely to have much support.

I doubt barriers are required per code and code was simply ignored. The only case to be made here is against the gov't (and obviously the driver), and good luck with that as nearly all commercial buildings are within 30' of a parking lot.

...against the driver.

Oh, and the store owner and apple, ofc. Because "Attorney Doug Sheff told WBZ-TV on Monday the storefront should have had barriers to protect it against traffic in the nearby parking lot."

“This parking lot was only 10 yards or so from this this glass facade, this glass storefront,” he said. “So, it was entirely foreseeable.”

'Only' 30 feet from the parking lot.

I mean, c'mon. Are we going to require all buildings within 30 frickin feet of a parking lot be walled off behind barriers?

There's a case to be made against the driver, but sounds like an accident. Shit happens and that's where you'll find the ambulance chasers.

Yeah, you'll be fine.

I'd still plan to replace it though. Future person (including your SO) won't know / remember that this is now a "led only" fixture

The base of the bulb (where the driver is), should get hottest.

If it isn't too hot to touch >140°f, it's at least 2x too cool to damage any of the materials in the fixture. Us humans are made of wimpy materials lol

Certain LEDs still get hot, though not nearly as hot as their dated incandescent counterparts.

Easiest test, put the bulb(s) in a lamp, leave in on for 5 minutes or w.e., are they safe to the touch? If yes, no worries.

If no or still worried, spend the $10 and additional 15 minutes on youtube and replace the fixture. Probably the safest electrical task there is (still practice safe.. practices, tho).

You got it all wrong, googe was tracking the states. How do you think it knows (I just checked) that hawaii moved ~4" in the past year?

So basically, a point of use water heater?

Needs nuts.

That's pretty common, 8 of those 11 wires are just travelers from one switch the the other, but which 8 and going where? Lol.

Yup, leave it to the belated pro.

Yup. Hindsight, etc.

I really don't advise tackling this on your own but I wonder if this is your layout? You'd have to open all the switches to be sure then do a lot of chasing.

Just wait for the electrician.

Single switch, sure. 3 way, eh.. maybe. 4 way not knowing what wires comes from where? Forgetaboutit. 5 way? Uhh..
