Synopsis:
Looking for more light in an obscure area? Many people don’t know that old fluorescent light fixtures can be repurposed to power LED tube lights that provide brighter, cheaper, & longer-lasting light. In this video, Joel is replacing the only light bulb in the attic with two LED tubes to make reading storage labels easier for the family. This upgrade requires limited tooling and expertise, while yielding rewarding results.
