Today at a church building I swapped out about 60 Sylvania 3000k T8s for Sylvania 4100k T8s.  The 3000k's were too dim for the environment they were in.  The 4100k's do a much better job lighting the area.  I'll use the 3000k's at a few different buildings where the carpet and color tone are lighter and will do better in that area.  I still have quite a few more tubes to swap out but waiting for more 4100k to arrive.

Today I went to another church building and took 2 cases of the 3000k T8s that I removed from the building yesterday and replaced a bunch of EoL or near EoL 3000k's.  Mostly Philips, but a few Sylvania.  Also replaced a bad GE T8 ballast.  There are a few more in this building but ran out of time.  It's about 70 miles away so I'll get back there next month or so.

We are planning to put up a couple of little 6W T5 fixtures in the bedroom as reading lights. Mind you we have been saying that for months...  :D

I'm fixing a Feit Electric CFL (mostly for fun), from what i can tell the resistor fuse randomly died for no reason.

Edit: Turns out the driver may have more issues than i thought.

Today at once church building i swapped out a bunch of 3500k T8s for 3000k T8s.. I want to use up the 3rd Gen Sylvania Ecologic 3000k T8s as quickly as I can so thus the swap out. 

At another building I replaced 2- 26 watt 4 pin CFL ballasts that were bad.  I also replaced 3 EoL 50 watt HPS bulbs.  got more work to do at this building.  A few 400 Watt MH bulbs that light up the steeple, 3 150 watt HPS parking lot bulbs, some cove lighting (strip lighting) F32T8 4100ks, and a few bad ballasts.  Ran out of time today.

Finally received the ballast we've been waiting for to light our 1,000W Thorn Kolorlux mercury lamp, so we've built up a display board to light it up.

It certainly gets warm  :D

I installed a LED upgrade package to my new 2018 Nissan Turbodiesel XD. They definitely light up the road a lot better than the stock halogens, and I do appreciate the fact that they match the stock LED headlights and running lights.

What was it?
A 1950 GE 1000W incandescent, see here for a picture of it lit.

I was trying to screw it into the lampholder and used just a tad too much force, and the glass cracked  :'( :'( :'(
