I'm sure he is... bless his ol' heart.
Speaking off Edison, we went to the museum down in Cape Coral a few years ago, its a pretty cool place.

Re: New lighting project finished - PAR 38 - 5000K LED Upgrade
Nice work! And thanks for sharing. I've been sold on LEDs since I started using a PAR20 5K as my portable/side lighting. And they are so durable! I would have done gone through a dozen halogen bulbs by now. I'm looking into LED tubes to replace my fluorecents. And possibly some LEDs that duplicate sodium halide color/temperature; those are bit pricey though. My big focus is getting some wall/side lighting that's fairly compact and possibly mobile.
Question though Tony. How do you reach the switches on the lights?

For now I only have 12 fired up in the garage, but do have 14 heads ( the other two are CFL's for now, been experimenting with a different color temp) and will end up with 16 total heads up.
Try some big CFL's, like the Eiko/Alzo. You'd be surprised at the general ambient lighting they give. You can never have enough light!

I agree!
Have a couple out there now, (not Eiko/Alzo) also have some smaller ones in the garage opener.

What about those LED lights that you see overhead at gas stations. Those are pretty bright. Are they expensive?
Always keep the shine in your life.

I actually just found some online that replacements for metal/sodium hallide lights and they average over $250 a fixture. They put out like 3000 lumens which is way more than you'd need for the average height garage. Now if you have ceilings above 12 feet or so then they might workout. Still doing my homework on them.
