Five LEDs installed in the garage today, 30,000 lumens in a space c 9m x 7m, much better than daylight when the switch is flicked.

From now on, no excuses are acceptable for mismeasurement, wrong position centre- punching or mis-reading the vernier caliper / micrometer.

It was actually a long hard day, standing all day and moving stuff to balance on the narrow rickety stool and fiddling with stripping wires and block connectors at the most awkward height (about 300mm above my head) mostly with no light and a hand held torch, whilst at the same time trying to keep the wires connected whilst screwing them tight to the connector blocks.

Not my finest hour in terms of neatness of installation, but it works. One day, when I have finished all the projects in the garage, I will go back and do it properly with repositioned conduit and I shall get rid of all the old luminaires which are now acting as over-blown connection blocks.

One day????
