Side Quest: Garage Lights

Salvaged a pair of LED batten fixings that were being thrown out and used them to upgrade the lighting in the garage/workshop. The difference between the original bulbs and the new fittings is day and night (pun intended).

Knowing that the camera would auto adjust the images for brightness, I took some before and after light intensity readings as summarised in the table below.

It’s worth noting that the original halogen bulb heats up to high temperatures within a short space of time, as evidenced in the photos below.

Overall; chuffed with the new lights. Many lumens.
