Installing LED Tube Lighting In Metal Framing
Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money.
Synopsis:
The Jefferson Electric Off-Grid Warehouse needed some light, so we installed 8’ LED tube lights in fluorescent fixtures and thought we’d bring you all along. Given the metallic structure of the shop, we’re using MC cable and being especially mindful of our grounding practices. If you’re curious about what it takes to mount fixtures to metal struts, calculate continuous loads for proper circuit sizing, or when to call for an extra hand, this video is for you.
Laced within the technical instruction are recommendations and points of professionalism employed daily by Jefferson Electric masters, journeymen, & apprentices.
