He Replaced All His Fluorescent Lights With Modified Compact Fluorescent Lights (CFL's)
 ✖  |
Dennis Strahle, Eagle, Mich: “I didn’t like the 4-ft. fluorescent light fixtures in my shop. They burn out too often and make a humming noise. I finally decided to replace all the fluorescent lights with modified compact fluorescent lights (CFL’s).
“My solution was simple: a 2 by 4 with light fixture boxes screwed to its underside, and then wired to plug into existing outlets on the shop ceiling. The CFL’s are perfectly quiet, use far less electricity, and light up my shop nicely. The shop ceiling is 13 ft. high so I’m not in danger of swinging a board high enough to accidentally hit the lights, but for lower ceilings you might need to cover the lights to keep from breaking the bulbs.”
