Refurbing Shop Lights

[Justin B.]

Dee, that would have been an easier solution but these fixtures were 10+ years old and the ballasts were starting to buzz and the plastic end-caps were starting to discolor.  Tearing these apart showed arcing between degrading capacitors and the frame! 

I had seen the replacement tube that were meant for rewired fixtures so I figured if I was going to have to rewire anyway I might as well do it as cheaply as possible...
