Come into the store and see us! - Jak na to + styl
The bulbs are all still working. We even have four tubes that switch on and off probably 10 times per day at least. The Led's don't seem to mind this.
looking good
+Bill and Rosa Off Grid Homestead Done with all the other light bulbs, LED only.
If your going off grid and on batteries it's really something people should be using. Changing out to all the leds has been great at the store, wind and solar keeps up good.
I was tasked with replacing all the 8' tubes with new Phillips 4' LED tubes at my workplace, there were about 100 fixtures and they got all the LED tubes and a retrofit kit for each fixture that included everything required to change the 8' 2 bulb fixtures to hold 4 of the 4' tubes. They got the ones that take a ballast, so the old ballasts were replaced by those.
Overall the light output I'd guess was about 10% brighter, and the LED's use half the power and the electric co rebate program almost paid the whole cost.
As an aside, while on the ladder I accidentally dropped one of the LED tubes, I was pushing it into the end socket and it slipped and slipped out of my hand and fell about 8 or 9 feet and hit the wood floor, didn't do any damage at all to it!
Much brighter Jeff. Nice !
+TREYSONZ It's a different kind of light, looks natural and takes a little getting use to.
Hi Jeff i like your videos very informative. My curiosity of wind n solar grew n I started researching n learning I think your videos n tips Are awesome I have learned so much in such little time I'm a DIY type of guy thank u for everything
Great videos you do. I think you explain things so most everyone can understand. I have a better understanding now of the wind and solar. Your new led lights give a brightness to the areas that was not there before. Looks good and it's always fantastic to save on the electric bill. Thanks for the effort put into your videos. And thanks to everyone that helps you.
+Cybercat403 Your welcome and thanks for watching
Thanks for all the tips! Definitely will help this winter. Hoping to use only wind and solar power one day
Looks like me LEDs made a world of difference for sure. Thanks for sharing.
+Massachusetts Prepper Your welcome.
Thank you for the video Jeff there great lights.
+Richard Maunder Your welcome Richard.
Noticable difference Jeff.
Thanks
+drummerdem50 Your welcome.
Cool stuff Jeff. Hey, I moved 12 solar panels onto my backyard fence line. Power is up! Made a DIY racking system using Superstrut. 54 deg set point and adjustable.
+Chris DIYer Really cool and pretty cheap to do. How's it work ?
Please check out my Channel...did several vids. Learned a lot. Overall, the cost was MUCH lower and it is sturdy. The one BIG thing I learned was NOT to buy nuts/bolts/washers from Lowe's or Home Depot...stupid overpriced. I went to Tractor Supply and got Grade 8 by the pound for about 1/3 the price. Superstrut and spring clamps are ridiculously easy to work with. Overall...removing 12 100w panels off of the flat pergola and onto the fence line at 54 degrees was actually like adding 450 watts to my total system power. Crazy better. How is your tilter/tracker going?
+Chris DIYer Your right about over priced nuts and bolts at Lowes and Home Depot. I buy my bolts by the pound to at Kliers farm center. Really cheap to. Tractor supply is also another great place for bolts. Farm centers are usually pretty good price on a lot of things.
+Chris DIYer The tracker seems to be working really well. Man it really picks up a lot more power then a rigid mount system. Costs more though, but worth it if you have the money.
Someday...when I sell this tiny suburbia lot and move to someplace with more land/sun/less city congestion.
Good idea as usual. However if I make this conversion, I think that I will merely cut the wires and bypass the ballast. It may be beneficial to leave it in place just in case there ever comes a time when those LEDs are no longer available. Just a thought.
+Clark Eugene Good idea on leaving the ballast in.
+Clark Eugene Order from another country then. We are the only dumb ones that would do such a thing.
Awesome mod my friend. That is great info. I hope you and Molly have a great Sunday.
+Raymond Earle Thank you Raymond.
My great pleasure sire.
Do you have LEDs from home fixtures ? I really want to win that wind turbine, the solar panel, or the kilowatt meter . The wind turbine is my favorite .
Hello i install my solar panel .ran the wire. Damit for got to mark the wire plus and negative. How can i find which is which.my panels is 100w.do i use a one hundred ten tester. Or.?.
Will be passing your info on. So many companies still using old tubes. You may have become a dark knight in the green energy world but your still leading the way.
+ian57812 Dark Knight , i kinda like that.
I haven't been making videos lately but be back at this week. The old tubes are a waste of energy. Love the new Led tubes, nice light in the workshop.
Jeff, what's the price of one of the t8 led bulbs. I like the end result.
+Brent Roberts 14 bucks right now. The price is coming down.
Looks the same, and it can save money now.
Hi Jeff, Do you have these bulbs available in 8 foot length? I have a large shop with many 8 foot fixtures. They are not split into two, four foot length bulbs. The bulbs themselves are 8 foot. Thanks, Jason
I have the same situation I found these I just ordered them I thought about splitting them and replacing the ends and putting in four ft bulbs as it would be a little cheaper but I think I will just go with this. I will probably install them this week. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SUMEJRA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Thanks for the link Aaron. I am going to buy a couple and make sure they work properly and if so I will buy enough for the whole shop. Thanks again for the help
How many watts were the fluorescent tubes using just curious
+aspsvc1 32 watts each.
