    WTB not sure where to start

    I wouldn't believe half of ebayers claims. Lifespan may be crap, or you might even get a different product than described. Are your current lights at ceiling level, or table lamp/floor lamp level? Large lampshade to diffuse? Why not use some warmer "directed light" down on your work surface...

    WTB not sure where to start

    Yea, that's why I linked to the Home Deep. I figured your local store would have them at the $20 closeout price also. Dunno, maybe it is local only. HD is 90 days return. A GOOD THING... Meridian warranty says 3 yrs, when used as directed, with no mention of hours involved It says don"t...

    WTB not sure where to start

    I'm a huge fan of ganging 800 lumen bulbs also. I scavenge lamp parts, and have a collection of franken lamps made from 3, 4, or 5 socketed ceiling fixtures. Also google 6-way floor lamps. They can be found at thrift stores for cheap. And if you must use 100W equiv bulbs, this one is my fave...

    20,000 Watt Light Bulb Test

    Obviously that bulb is meant to be contained in a high volume-seriously air cooled chamber. Ha Ha. That's his specialty. Many videos he's ranting, "till it pops". That youtuber is HILARIOUS tho!! And worth following. Photonicinduction is his handle & he's got many INSANE videos. He has some...

    Is It Time To Switch To 4 Foot LEDs Yet?

    I was thinking of price only. that's it! (Well I DO like "warm white" also) Linear tubes for modding, & rv building. Mount your own tombstones at the 3 foot mark... Yes. Maybe not as cheap as above tho. 2 foot...

    Newb here. Which flashlight would you suggest that will get me hooked on this stuff?

    HA! Alaska is a great place to develop yet ANOTHER obsession. LED lightbulbs for your home. CFL'S just dont cut it there! They CAN barely start up, much less warm up & get bright. You NEED LOTS of LED'S! A new obsession? Why THIS one is IMPORTANT! :naughty:

    Adventure *FAILS*

    Could they have kept you in the plane somehow? That'd be HELL on the jumpmaster if he kicked you in the back and you splatted on the ground. I'd probably be "curtains" for him as an instructor. He could tell folks, "Yep, I kicked the last 1st time jumper right out the door to his death."

    HDS around the World (PICS)

    Ok, what is HDS? A particular brand of flashlight? I have heard of HDR, but not HDS.

    How do you rationalize flashlight purchases with your significant other?

    But dear, they are for gifts, and all the 30 led lightbulbs I got at Walmart last week, can be used as an introduction to a green way of life for all our friends.
