The lights above where the MG stands were recycled florescent tubed from some 10 years ago and then they were 10 years old already, so pretty dull and when I built the workshop I kinda ran out of time and fitted then directly against the 3 meter high ceiling.

Well with this LockDown I have started working on the MG again, but could hardly see. Had to use the leadlight the whole time. Then I remembered the box of LED tubes I bought last year on Black Friday. What a good idea that was.

I also hardly ever through something away, so I had the broken cable from the remote garage door and an broken timer.

And withe some holes in the ceiling to secure brackets for the cable and some off cut 3 core wire from a previous job.

The tubes are replaced with LED ones and the lights and dropped down some 700mm. I like the way it is on cables so if I would want to get the boat into that side of the workshop I can just temporarily lift then. And I am saving electricity. One of the fitting's balast transformers ware particularly to the touche.Must have been chewing electricity and converting it to HEAT.
