It was so foggy going to work this AM that I had to pull over and use my pocket knife to cut a path thru some of it.

Morning folks.

RC, if you have four foot fluorescent fixtures with four 40 watt bulbs, you can pull the bulbs, unhook the ballast from power, wire one of these lights into that, daisy chain another onto it and get 160 watts fluorescent light form 41 watts of LED, much whiter, brighter light too. The lights fit right into a four foot t5,t8 or t12 fixture and have magnets so there is no screws, just stick them in place and go. The lights have 120 degree dispersion and 5000K light output. They're 35.00 per light.

The manufacturer recommends no more than 240ft of these lights on one outlet or switch, that's roughly sixty of these lights.

I might have to look into those further Chip. I've got two four bulb banks in my workshop that barely light the center of the shop. If it's dark out you can't see much on the shelves along the wall.

Not much going on here today. It's take Mom on her errands day. Tomorrow I hope to get the other e-brake cable in on the truck but that's about it. I swear I'm not starting anything new on the vehicles unless I have no choice. I've been thrashing on vehicles most of the weekend for the last couple of weeks and I'm just a little weary of it.

Rich Nice to see you and Penny also. Glad your mom is doing ok. RC I am usually lurking around at least every couple days. Gotta be sure you youngsters are still keeping busy, while I am happy retired and doing nothing.

Just let me know you all. I liked them enough I started replacing my lights in my shop as they failed. I've got a few eight footers to fail and then I'll have all LED on the main switch.
