Upgrade

When we bought the house in 2004, it had the old florescent tubes in the kitchen.  They worked fine for 20 years, but eventually, the ballast went out.  It was time to make  change.

I am not an electrician, but I do know how to change a socket or a switch, so I went to YouTube and started  looking around.  Watched a couple of videos then got out the ladder and some hand tools.  Found the proper breaker and turned it off. 


Total time on this job was about an hour, and that included running to town to buy the bulbs.  The kitchen is bright now, holy-moly.  It's bright.  

If you're afraid of this job, don't be.  It really is as easy as it looks.  IF you can change a switch, you can do this.  As with all things electrical, shut off the power and proceed slowly.  This is not a bad job.
