    Default My buddy Doug's light show on X-Mas, he is now upgrading yet again....

    FB Quote
    The conversion has begun. Goodbye cheap buckets and hello heavy duty Home Depot HDX buckets. Christmas is up to 40 so far. Need another 10 or so. Halloween is behind all that in the pic. Need about 20 buckets to convert Halloween. Beth has been wondering all year how come EVERY time we go to Huntsville I run into Home Depot and grab 2 or 3 buckets. It’s the same as going to Walmart. I never go to Walmart without grabbing 3 prong adapters or snap bolts or a 50’ ext cord. Plus now everything is labeled so no more wondering what bucket something is in.

    He upgraded to LED a few yrs back, i believe on our last phone convo he is upgrading from the LED's he has now.

    LED's are pretty cheap actually, as they hardly pull any Amperage.

    that could pose a bit of an issue, as its been some years since we talked about his initial change over to led, it was a huge price drop, ill ask him though.

    I'd be curious: we've been switching our office over from florescent bulbs: to LEDs. It's cut the bill by almost half...
    But most of our power usage is probably from the computers, printers, and copiers anyway.

    Bob, my shop has six 8' florescent lights. I picked up 3 LED shop lights from home Depot. My electric bill dropped considerably.

    That's a impressive light show.
