robothut Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Here is a video on modifications and hacks for LED tube lights. I just replaced all the ceiling lights with LED's and its so much brighter and uses so much less power, I may have to add another pinball machine.https://youtu.be/99rtOHQ19Z8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morbius Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 The ultimate 'man cave' just got better. Congrats John, I know you've been wanting that upgrade for quite a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyman Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Nice job, John. I'm curious as to the lifespan of the LEDs since they will be a little more wore to replace. But then again, no glass tubes to worry about breaking. No mercury contamination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Robot Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Brilliant John! The Robot Hut looks awesome! We replaced all the lights in our house with LEDs. I don't have exact figures, however our electricity usage has been reduced considerably. The LED lights are definitely are worth the investment from what we've seen.

Morbius Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 We did the same Brent, over the last 4 years or so...and they've become much cheaper now from the $40 in the beginning and it did make a great difference in the hydro bill. Don't ever plan on getting the same type next time you go to the store, they seem to change by the week which has the customers scratching their heads in the light bulb isle.

WJN Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Very nice, John. With all that extra light, I could probably see everything in the Hut in a month instead of the 3 months it would have taken before the upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robothut Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 Nice job, John. I'm curious as to the lifespan of the LEDs since they will be a little more wore to replace. But then again, no glass tubes to worry about breaking. No mercury contamination.Yes I wonder as well how long they will last. They way LED lights like these are made is like the old time xmass lights, they wire large groups of the LED's in series "30 or so" and if one goes bad then then a big section goes out. so we will see.I am looking in to replacements for the wedge low voltage lamps I have in the cabinets now, there seem to be lots to pic from, so will have to test out a few before buying in bulk to upgrade the cabinets.
