great idea ryan i think we need more of these types of threads for diversity rather than the just the good ol boy ones that lets face it, intimidate new comers and beginners. hopefully we can get more of these going.
anyway as for shop lighting i just did a quick inventory and came up with a grand total between both garages 62 4' LED tubes. now there not all on at once,usually ! i started switching them out as the old tubes or ballasts died then at about the half way point i just changed them all over. havn't had to change a tube in over 3 years now,and much brighter. i actually got rid of about 8 tubes. every light bulb or tube in my house id all LED !
working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.
