									| Today I finally wired my fence lights to P/Cs so I don't have to constantly change on/off times on the previously installed timers. |  |

									| Received some lamps from eBay, including Westinghouse Ceramalux C100S54. I will unpack them tomorrow! |  |  
								|  |  Logged |  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.

									| Modified a few sets of LED icicles to run off DC, and to prevent the LEDs from dying, i also added a dropper capacitor to reduce the LED current and intensity.
 Will likely be doing more tomorrow.

									| A capacitor ^ .ug. might as well throw them away .LOL. since that makes them useless (ie: non-dimmable) .LOL.
 Worked on a set of lights that I'm converting to LED (it'll get a pic at some point later when its done).
 Also put up multiple sets of lights outside.

 If i was going to use them on a dimmer, then i might agree with you. But since that's not the case, they're useable   . |  |

									| did some setwork today and got to look at the stashes of halogen par lamps and also saw an old 1kw open rated syvaina metal hailide lamp i might ask for as i think it was for the old gym high bays before they got led'ed because there are a few missed out 1kw fictures in the weight room of the gym that are never on |  |

In my case, I want to be able to fade them on & off .LOL. much nicer effect than blinking straight on/off.. -------------- Yesterday: Put up more lights. Last night, finished off the last little step on converting 1 set of these , and 4 sets of these |  |
