Can never have enough light in the shop. Did you go LED? I bought a few 8' LED lights for my garage last week. Putting those in this weekend probably so I have good light working on stuff this winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they are LED's, much, much brighter that the 4 foot Fluorescents I removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the biggest differences I notice is they don't fade over time as the bulbs age. Then in the cold they are instantly 100% brightness when turned on.

smokin george Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I try and do as little as possible lol. I changed out the few bulbs that weren't changed over to LED"s in the motorhome. There's lights in all the storage compartments and I'm going to change all of them over as well. Other than that I'm not working too hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomas. Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 So far I have only managed to drink a cup of coffee and watched the new Mighty Car Mods episode. Where I am at it is -11°c (12°f). It is cold and there isn't enough snow to ride. It makes a terrible concoction for trying to find ambition to get stuff done lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecat Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Woke up, my balls were real itchy so I scratched em, took a long wizz (this is good when your old). Went downstairs had 2 coffees with the wife, read the local rag, read dumbasses threads here, checked e-mails, texts...blah blah. Ate yogurt, granola and 2 oranges. Went out and blew some leaves then used the tractor for the last time to suck up the leaves. Put the front end loader on the tractor and turned all the compost piles. It’s 72 degrees here. Replaced a dead battery in one of the sleds. Wife says the charge in her Dyson cordless doesn't last that long anymore. I pulled the old one out and ordered one on e-bay. Lunch time! Ham, cheese and tomato on homemade wheat bread. Pulled frozen chicken from the freezer for suppah. Back outside blew all the dust off the tractor and washed it off, dropped the belly mower, greased it and stored it with the bagger and vac system for the winter. Checked the front snow blower attachment over, greased it and the driveshafts, added gearcase oil, oiled the chain gear. Enough of that shit for today. Drained the pool cover and netted off all the last of the leaves. Tested the hot tub, added chemicals. It’s 2:09 Eastern here and I’m done for the day. Cigar time on the farmers porch....looks like rain soon. Finishing this novel. Keeping busy in retirement. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinker Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I accepted the challenge to Masterbate the same number of times as the day of the month, it's the new Movember I think. Anyway, the first seven days were fun but now on day 11 I can barely type and it's only 2:15 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The replacement bulbs delay for some reason. If you install a led fixture they don’t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs to convert 120vac to something like 5 or 12 vdc. I have some in my living room that are that way. Depending start flipping switches on and off because they don't realize it takes a second or two for the light to come on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put 2 new led fixtures in the shed and they come right on. I replaced a few fluorescents bulbs in the garage in old fixtures and those delay.
