Default Re: Shop lighting

I've been following the progress of LED replacement bulbs for a few years now.They are a lot cheaper than they were just a year ago.The direct replacement ones are pretty cheap,just plug and play.BUT,my main goal is to get rid of the ballast's.They are hot all the time,and that means sucking up juice.I tried the little starter cans,but it seemed like I was always up on a 12 foot stepladder replacing them.To get the bulbs that you wire around the ballast,eliminating it,you have to buy bulbs that are 'toggled',whatever that means.Between all my buildings I have 64 four foot bulbs.The ones that were $49.each a couple of years ago are now $30.
