Workshop Lighting Update Fluorescent to LED

Описание: The fluorescent lights in my workshop were installed so many years ago that every one of the ballasts have gone bad. I’ve been living and working in the dark ages! Several years ago, I removed the ballast in one fixture and replaced it with ballast-bypass LED bulbs to know it can be done. I’ve gotten tired of working in a dim workshop and I decided now is the time to replace the rest of them.

Follow along as I show how I removed the fluorescent ballasts, rewired the fixtures, and installed all new 5000K LED bulbs to bring back the daylight that I was missing in my workshop. Now I look forward to working on so many more projects next year with a bright workshop.

Thanks for visiting Wingnut’s Workshop!
