I've just taken delivery of 1¾ gallons of oily 'tuff.  So the mass lighting of my oily lampses can go ahead.  I'm glad the weather has turned cooler...

There are two kinds of light  -  the glow that illuminates, and the glare that obscures.

What punctuation..? Exactly  "you're" instead of "your" was actually what we had in mind

I have 4 church buildings within the city limits of Denver in which the City is requiring all lighting be converted over to LED by the end of the year.  Yeah, not happy about the fluorescent/incandescent ban hitting so close to home like this but am not surprised with this coming from the city of Denver.    So last night I did a count of what exactly I'll have to convert over.  If I win the bid/quote to do the work, I'll be busy for a bit.  This is just for one building of the 4.  Qty         Description for Quote 40           PL 4 pin ballast bypass replacing 32W 3500K CFL PL Tube 25           F17T8 3500K ballast bypass LED equivalent  to be 3500K 10           PL 4 Pin ballast bypass replacing 42W 4 pin 3500K CFL PL Tube 16           PL 2 Pin 4000K LED Equivalent replacing 13W 2 pin PL tube (thin tube) ballast bypass 10           BR40 13.5W or around there- 3000K flood light (dimable) 340         F32T8 3500K LED Equivalent - Replacing F32T8 3000K (we want to go with 3500K) quote for both ballast bypass and plug n play 72           23PLL/LED/835/BP  For 8 pendant fixtures.  Ballast bypass.

The more you hate the LED movement, the stronger it becomes.
