<VV> Off topic - Shop lights

[mark at noakes.com]

I've been slowly swapping out all of my fixtures and lights to 
LED...shop and house. My main interest is that you can get more and 
whiter light for the same load...great for the shop. I am not really 
worried about decreasing the overall current. Some of the cheaper LED 
stuff does make a lot of EMI noise and I have had some fail way too 
early. Don't go too cheap.

The roof is extra tall to accommodate an electric-over-hydraulic Titan (yeah, it's Chinese) four-post car lift upon which sits our '64 Monza convert. LEDs are the best thing since canned beer!

>> I really like the 8’ LED fixtures - but there seem to be equal good / bad reviews. These are the fixtures - not the fluorescent replacement LED tubes.  You can get 8 - 10 packs in the $130-$180 range. Understand you get what you pay for also.
