Replacement Light Kits Catching On
Retro-Bright, the Georgia company that produces LED efficient lighting to replace 4 or 8-ft. fluorescent light fixtures, contacted us recently to update a previous FARM SHOW article about their products (Volume 39, No. 5). “We had an overwhelming response to the story, and since then we’ve stream-lined our manufacturing, added a line of LED bulbs that are made especially for our kits, and we’ve negotiated better shipping rates to many areas,” says John Sims. Sims goes on to say “I believe the great response from Farm Show was because its readers seem to be independent, down to earth folks and that is exactly the approach the JS-3 Retro-Bright kit takes. No new wiring, no more special bulbs or ballast, more light, less electricity, immediate cold starts, no more throwing money at blinking half working lights. Because of improvements in our lamp holders and terminal connections, the Retro-Bright fixtures now have a lifetime warranty.”
Retro-Bright’s fixtures easily snap into your old fluorescent fixtures after the old bulbs, ballast and ballast covers have been removed. By using LED bulbs, the JS-3 fixture makes considerably more light with larger energy savings. “When people flip the switch on our lights they immediately come on without humming and blinking. They eliminate costly maintenance and are more cost efficient.” If you have a garage or shop with lighting woes take a serious look at what Retro-Bright has to offer.
The Retro-Bright kit, includes two 4-ft. fixtures that will convert one 8-ft. T-12 or two 4-ft. T-12s and retails for $39.95 plus S & H. Quantity discounts are available. LED bulbs bought through Retro-Bright are typically 40 to 60 percent less expensive than through other retailers. Sims adds that additional savings may also be available through rebates from your local power company.
