LED Mod wih pics
So, it was raining today. I decided to fix one of my overhead florescent fixtures. The ballast had failed and I didn't want to spend the $$ for a new fixture. I purchased a roll of LED's and ends from...

the two replacement strips in place of the two 9w tubes
are an almost perfect match,
same amount of light, but a slight difference in color, not as white
its a slight shading difference mainly noticed when holding a hand under the different lights and doing a comparison
on the 30w fixture, same color difference, but two strips are NOT QUITE the same amount of light
close, but it is s little less, my reflectors are shaped difference and im sure this has some effect
i'm going to add one more strip to the 30w above my left shoulder , that should be more than equal to the previous amount of light
I love the lower power drain, 10w vs 30w
i think i will install 12v regulator chips so that the LEDS are never over driven with too much voltage
pictures coming soon
my calculations say the small 18w fixture is now using 7w
and the 30w fixture is now using 10w, this will go up to 15w when i add the third strip tomorrow
i want the extra output, as this is the light i sit under when reading a book
the rest of the 18w and 30w fixtures will be converted with two strips each, like the current configuration
i think i will need another connector kit
