Yes, but I'm willing to bet that is an interior door not an exit, as such it shall be equipped with a horn and strobe but is not required to have a pull station.
Which makes perfect sense...(as always )...thanks :D

Shouldn't there be a fire alarm pull station near the light switches at the exit door? All of our rooms (elementary school district) have a pull station at each exit door.

The red one is a fire alarm. The white one looks like it has a yellow strobe or cover. I commonly see those as CO2 level alarms... probably a CO2 sensor on the wall somewhere, probably next to the zone sensor for HVAC.

The Ortronics racks look nice and easy to deal with. All of our patches are in cabinets with the Panduit cable managers. There are a PITA to trace/pull a bad cable out of once they are packed. This usually leads to a big mess after someone has gotten into them a few times.

Yeah sadly I live in BIX land up here. But I don't seem to have any problems with BIX so far, provided I have the right tools for the job and it's not ****ed up by the last installer.

I've been put in emergency situations where I've been punching BIX with a small flat head screwdriver and a small pair of wire cutters. Lemme tell ya I was not a happy camper.

But then again I've done 66 with a small pair of pliars and a screwdriver with a wirecutter on the same point too lol. (cringe)

I prefer 66 for its simplicity and ease of use, but I'm just so used to BIX now it's pretty much second nature. It's more a problem when boneheaded installers mess it up, then you're wasting time fixing their stuff.

For data patch panels it's 110 all the way of course. (Never seen a true rackmount BIX punchdown for data, only ones that fit into the dinky telecom racks)

It's an awesome lens, and yep pretty zoomed on a crop sensor, almost a little more than I'd like it to be. But I have a wide angle thing so that could be just me.

I usually don't shoot it lower than 2.0 just because at 1.8 it seems to soften up quite a bit. But at 2 it's perfect.

I just looked at the EXIF for the last shot of the switch and indeed Canon 50mm running at 2.0 so my guess it's the 1.8 as the Rebel series doesn't like running at 1.8 (Wide open) too well.

LMAO I seriously picked that out of my head before reading the EXIF. But then again I shoot a lot with that lens.

EDIT - The Canon Rebel doesn't like running THAT lens at 1.8 (I don't think it's the camera specifically but more the lens that doesn't look very crisp at 1.8)
