LED lighting

[NWYENKO]

I just converted the fluorescent lights to LED's . It really made a difference. The tubes are manufactured by a family owned business named Hyperikon located in San Diego. The cost per tube was just over $18 and installation was very simple. I am in the process of converting all of the lights in the house to LEDs. Bulbs can be purchased through amazon with free shipping and no sales tax. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img] Jim

Costco had replacement 48&quot; tubes that plugged right in and they also had complete fixtures, 48&quot; with two bulbs.

The replacements I used required removal of the ballast, replacement of the tombstones which were supplied.

[Charley Lillard]

The time you spent removing the ballasts could have been used on a nice three hour drive to Costco... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

Paid an electrician friend $100 to change all 12. Even though gas is $2.25 here it was better than 6 hours on the road. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]
