    SSB, I looked online and the cost was almost the same. Heck even at costco the led bulb retrofit is right next to the fixture. They are both the same price..

    I just bought two more lights and the garage will be all LED this week. The single led over my bench puts out more light than both the flourescents over the car stalls. If anyone needs some "vintage" shop lights let me know.
    I love living in the future.

    I was going to go look at a different van today after emailing the guy all last night, then he emails me this morning that the van is sold. What the heck? It's like other people's money spends just as well as mine all of a sudden.

    Where am I? It's right under my pic: Santa Maria, CA.

    It's about 3 hours North of LA and 4 hours South of San Fran. Just a few miles inland from the coast.
