									| 							 Spent some time swapping all the lampholders on my louvered fluorescent fixture. I was having trouble with certain lamps not starting. It turns out the lamps needed the pins cleaned too. The lampholders I swapped out had a few chips in them anyway.

									| 							 Here's some of the things I've done over the past few weeks. I repaired a twin diffused batten that was missing the diffuser,  I found a top mount AJ Ferguson Zodiac with an arm on sale for $10 but ended up not being able to get it because the seller decided they'd keep it for themselves despite the fact I had already arranged pickup and successfully talked my mum into driving me to get the light,  And I trashpicked a genuine Luxo Lamp albeit missing the base and cable.

							I’ve always been interested in all kinds of lighting, mainly incandescent and HID, and especially all kinds of sodium lamps (HPS/LPS). I’ll tolerate LED but I’m not a fan of it. I’m not proud to say that my city has Devolved to LED.

																It wasn't today but the other day I saved a 100 watt PSMH yardblaster that was being changed out for LED (funny enough the new LED fixture was DOA) and the only thing I had to do was change the ignitor for the lamp.

									| 							 On the weekend, took down the 4 fluorescent fixtures I had as extra lighting for the deck (so I could properly paint the wall there) Yesterday I painted the insides of the fixtures (were originally a beige-brown color, now are silver inside, & will be hammered-silver on the outside)
