Saw barn addition - 4 year project (pic intensive)

How do you like your Woodmaster, I'm looking for a good planer.

The Woodmaster is a decent planer and I have been happy with it.  The fact that I can switch over to milling trim is a big plus.  When I have a few hundred board feet to plane I wish I had a bigger dedicated unit.

They now sell led bulbs that will fit in your  fluorescent lights.

I have looked but the longest LED tube I found was 4'.  I need 8'.

They do make an 8' LED bulb to replace the 8' flourescent. They just changed them out at the auto parts here in town. I think he said they were around 35 a piece. Don't quote me on the price. They are bright.

Thanks for the link.  Unfortunately my lights are high output, run in the cold, units and will not accept the single pin (have an oval push in connection).  Hopefully some day there will be an LED replacement for them.

We are doing an LED retro in our district this summer. We are changing from a t-12. Everything goes into the current fixture. Take out ballast...snatch out the ends....stick in a driver and 2 LED strips and you're off to the next one. LED strips and the driver are magnetic. We started timing ourselves and one man can do the entire change in less than 3 minutes. There is a 9 month payback for us on energy savings and the the light produced in more than doubled...in some cases triple. I have yet to find a negative....except....I'm having a hard time finding a way to get rid of about 28,000 used T12 tubes!!!

Anybody burn T12's I can hook you up....by the truckload!!!

Sure wish you was in my area... I have 54 lights in my shops that take that bulb.
Each light takes two bulbs.
