    upstairs yes downstairs no. I can not do recessed yet because I have no determined the viability of those lamps yet. I ordered a couple different lamps from DX so should have them in 2-3 weeks then I will need to run them at least 3 months before I will be satisfied they are viable (all new LED...

    ok I know. I am just impressed with the quality of the light he seems to be getting out of them. I wonder if he gets enough COOLING simply by using the fixture as a heat sink though or if his usage duty cycle is low enough that it does not matter.

    the way I do LED's is a compromise between amount of bulbs and the cost of bulbs. the T5 T8 units take too much power cost too much and produce way more light than I need. I only need 3 or 4 watts of LED light. 4 .9 watt LED bulbs will produce more lumens cost less and produce less heat than a...

    Hope this is OK to post here. you guys are the only "real" led forum I am aware of :-) I am converting my home to LED as close to 100% as I can get. I am at 50-60% now. one of my last real difficulties in design not price is the hallways. Cosmetics are important here I can't just shove a 4 or...

    Headlight Lens Question

    local auto parts store. $10-$12 a small polishing wheel that you "chuck" into a drill. have at it. works a TREAT. if you already have the hardware (polishing disc you can chuck into a drill) I hear toothpaste works just as well.
