    Yes, please. I have 2 fixtures in the house that I'd like to get over to LED, but I really don't want to have to rewire.

    Not hung up on cost, when you can find the same item for less. Believe I went with dedicated units in the shop. Yet after some research for prices, I saved close to $75 w/ free shipping. But I buy in bulk also. I "thought" of installing more dedicated 4' leds in the out buildings.
    Until the neighbor said. I got these led bulbs for $5. ea. Mmm $20+ per fixture, or $10 to go from fluorescents to leds.

    The bypass rewiring is really easy. If were not for my fear of heights would have taken less than 30 mins for both fixtures.

    I'm hoping to be able to do the bypass without dropping the fixture. If I have to remove the fixture, I might as well replace it.

    If you stayed focused on the flooring and stopped bullshitting with people stopping by. You would have been < > this close to finishing up.




    BTW: You're doing an impressive job installing that flooring.
