    Converting My Workshop From Fluorescent Tubes To LED Lighting Battens
    In this video, I replace the existing fluorescent fittings for led battens. But will it be an improvement...

    Mate this is freaky. I replaced my old fluorescents with LEDs in my workshop and garage about two weeks ago. I also got those fittings. I also got them from CEF. I also struggled with them being the new strange push fit design. And now I’ve got to the bit where you say you’ve got a heart condition which can trigger when you bend over. That’s so strange. I suffer from Paroxsysmal atrial Fibrilation, which can trigger when I bend over. I’ve only ever met a couple of people who can also trigger that way too. If you watch my videos you’ll see there’s a theme of me saying I hate bending down. That’s one of the main reasons I say it!

      How strange 😂 I also suffer from Paroxsymal AF so I know exactly how you feel. It’s a real pain in the ass. I had to buy one of those litter grabbers so I can pick things up without bending down. Makes being in the workshop more challenging. It put me in hospital 5 times last year. There’s a lot more research being put into it now as a lot of people have got it in the last few years. Meds help control it better but make me so dizzy and tired. So much so I had to stop my business. I’m thinking of putting a bit more time into the cnc work now as it’s less demanding. It is freaky though as you say 😂 because I only know a handful of people with similar triggers.

      @@Smugwood I’ve had it for about 25 years, so am pretty expert at managing it now. I’ve just followed you on Instagram. Feel free to pm me your phone number and I’ll be happy to call you share some of my tips on how to avoid an episode.

      Thanks. 25 years is a long time. For me I’ve known about 12 months but possibly had it a few years before diagnosed. Had to stop all exercise, no alcohol, no chocolate, no nice tasting foods 😔😂 Scary watching the heart monitors at 200bpm. But I guess if it wasn’t my heart it’d be something else. And lost 4 inches off my waste so that’s a bonus 😊
