Upgrade Your Fluorescent Lights To Wafer LEDs
Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money.
Synopsis:
Work-From-Home life has so many benefits and oddities! If you’re like us, that beloved family of yours welcomed group lunchtime and extra hugs and smooches, but then subsequently voted your new “office” into an alcove in the basement with no windows, that damp concrete smell, & buzzing, fluorescent lighting. Well… we can fix one of those problems!
In this video, Joel is upgrading fluorescents to recessed LED wafer lights in a master closet. Wafer lights are different from can lights in that they don’t require any ceiling clearance, making them better suited to remodel projects. In addition to an updated aesthetic, the upgrade to LED lighting will greatly reduce this homeowner’s energy and maintenance costs, and provide truer color accuracy for picking out the day’s outfit. We welcome you to follow along.
