newtonhubcap Posted March 11, 2017 Share #1 Posted March 11, 2017 So, winter here in Wisconsin has been on and off. This weekend it is somewhat off, cold but no snow. A few weeks back I was getting ready to put up an additional two fluorescent 8ft fixtures in the shop/garage (total of 11 fixtures). As usual I got side-traced with the ol' internet. I found a company (eLEDlighting.com) that sold replacement LED kits. What caught my eyes on these were magnetic! You gut your existing fixture of the ballast and tube fixtures. Wire in their power-pak, close up the fixture and then attach the LED strips and your done! I though did it different. I removed all of the fluorescent fixtures and instead attached them directly to my ceiling, key thing is my entire garage/shop is lined with white steel siding. What a difference these lights make! Each LED strip emits light 120 degrees and each assembly emits 6500 lumens in a cold white light. Some of you may be wondering what the cost is? At first I thought they were too expensive at $95/ea but when you look at the expense of a cold start 8ft fixture at $65 (without bulbs) and a box of 10 bulbs is $45 (4500 lumens) and with 9 (potentially 11 fixtures) I would need a second box, the cost was very comparable. Anyway attaching a couple of picture with the LEDs up and on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zKars Posted March 11, 2017 Share #2 Posted March 11, 2017 The. "Eledlghting.com" domain is for sale. Their website is therefore toast as likely is the company unless they just did a name change. Sure you have the URL correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newtonhubcap Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share #9 Posted March 13, 2017 Well if you want to build (2) 71 you can stay in the shop with no problems. I would even make sure the heat is on when it's 29 below. Sent from my SM-G930V using Classic Zcar Club mobile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
