Thanks guys. I'm tickled silly with the change. I really am. And the LED tech is bound to get cheaper and maybe better too. I just cannot believe the difference.
"I had a Sony Betamax too."
I received a used one in a white elephant exchange. Still own it but never use it. I'm told the quality is so high that students in visual arts programs will pay good money for one. I should try - it could finance another hand plane.
"Do you know how many lumens/sq foot?"
I got the Smart Drive KT-LED15T8-48GC-850S. The specs say they are 2200 lumens, 15 watt, 5000 degree.
"Problem I have with LED with my experience in industrial settings and home is the life is terrible, nowhere near what they claim".
I agree with you. I put a date on mine when I put them in the house so I can track that. So far, the first failure was at 2 years 3 mos. In a very heavy use room. We shall see.
Have a good Saturday!
Fred
