New 8' LED Lights for the Shop
« on: May 12, 2022, 08:40:51 am »
Yesterday, an electrician friend of the family installed new 8' LED lights for the shop.  What a difference!

He also installed two additional quad electrical outlets so that I could eliminate a rats nest of extension cords.

That sure brightens things up. I hope you have you have enough cutting goggles to go around
when you get visitors.  ;D
Very nice Charlie.

Wow! Great looking shop with lots of treasures. I installed LED tube lighting over my layout. It's very bright and useful for when I'm working on projects. however, I don't like the color temperature (5K) for photography or videos so I also installed warm LED bulb lighting (2.7K) also.

Tommy, Arnold & Jim:

Thanks for the kind feedback.

It really makes a big difference when doing work.

And it is much easier to see all of the engines and accessories displayed.

I have wanted to get this done for a couple years.
