Great info! My overhead fluorescent is pretty dim... It never even crossed my mind to upgrade the bulbs!

My brother put LED in his shop. Some were retrofit tubes, but he also used some panels that would normally replace a drop ceiling tile, but he just hung them from the exposed structure of his building with chains. Pretty nice setup. He also put some high bay leds with dimmers over some of his machines to really light up all the nooks and crannies. Reduced his electric bill quite a bit.

Thanks, Iwish it was mine. He does have a pretty nice setup. It’s nice knowing someone who has the knowledge and tools to work on your stuff. I don’t know how to use half of it though. I can do ok on the manual mills and lathes, but the CNC stuff, 3D printers, TIG welders etc are out of my league. His whole shop is just north of 50k sf, but he still has a lot of room for expansion if needed. Here is another part with a couple of his CNC mills.

Nie! Maybe someday!


Edit: I do have a decent LED headband light I wear. It sure comes in handy!

Spent way too much time trying once again to swap headlight bulb to an LED... yet again the damn thing was too big for the stock headlight can.
Now I'll start looking for replacement headlight that's already LED...
The good news was getting about 50 miles in just bouncing around town on Saturday.

Today just rounding up some of the new parts for the handlebars -chrome switch housings and hand grips. Eventually want to chrome everything on the handlebars, but I'm poor, so this is the starter kit.

I'm waiting for the new handlebars to arrive. I'll probably pull the handlebars off the bike tomorrow, and the triple trees soon after that.
