1. Hello, and welcome to Stack Exchange. It's quite likely that some component has died inside the shop lamp, but it's hard to tell from here. – Daniel Griscom. Apr 6, 2018 at 1:38. Durability of LED fixtures is largely decided by the quality of the electronic driver circuit, and there are a lot of places to cut corners there.
So I purchased some Barina T5 Led light bulbs (from amazon) and I am wanting to hardwire one of them for my work bench. I currently have a 20A outlet on the workbench as well as a 15A circuit that I was planning on hooking a switch to for said light.
When I mount a shop light across unfinished joists, I just screw the fixture directly to the joists. My lights can be disassembled from the front, so I mounted the back plate first and then attached the front. I use at least four screws in a rectangle. This prevents wobbling. Some of my lights are parallel to the joists, so I placed 3" x 3/4 ...
I purchased a pair of plug-in LED shop lights. I've installed one light (everything works) but have a question about the ground. The original (hard wired) lights were in a metal case and the ground wire was attached to the case with a metal clip. The new LED lights don't even have a case, but a small plastic housing at each end.
LED emitters proper are very tiny. They must remain cool and are rather sensitive to overheat. Your LED-based light bulb has a big heat sink to remove heat from the emitter proper. Heat moves through a heat sink proportional to the difference in temperature. So as the air around the heat sink gets warmer, the heat sink loses effectiveness.
I converted my shop to led from fluorescent.These are direct wire no ballast. Ran all new wires in conduit. The compressor is a 5hp single phase on a 60 amp breaker with 125amp main. I replaced compressor motor in 09. Compressor I installed in 1977 and has never given me a problem with the lights.
0. Question about Smart Electrician® 3650 Lumens 46" LED Linkable Shop Light Model Number: 0053-0011 | Menards® SKU: 3481400. I bought several of these and am having the same glowing issue referenced in the link below. I wanted to not spend a lot of money and just need them for short term, maybe 2-3 years at most so wasn't worried about high ...
1. Yes, that's fine. They don't need to be the same. I mean, one could be a humdifier unit even. Just bring the wire in a knockout on the side, and use a listed cable clamp of the type that screws into a knockout. Don't drill a hole in the box cover, don't hack or homebrew it.
In my garage, I have some surface-mounted (or flush-mounted) fluorescent shop lights. I would like to replace them with LED shop lights, instead. They are just plug-in lights, so the electrical part is no problem. But where I am getting stuck is the mounting. I can't figure out how to remove the old shop lights.
Fixture wires in either case must comply with the requirements listed in 240.5. Note: This is why many lighting fixtures (e.g. ceiling fans, dome lights) and light switches with built-in wires (e.g. combination switch/occupancy sensor, combination switch/timer) have wires smaller than 14AWG.
