12:40 < Rab> jerkey_, I was greatly agitated by reading this: (link to this thread)
12:41 < Rab> Colleagues can't let colleages spend $45 on feeble Counterfeit
Electric trash. This is the superior chocobo:

12:42 < Rab> It weighs three pounds, so you can just secure it to the existing
fixture with zip ties if need be.
12:43 < Rab> I installed four of these at Jerry's last week.
13:03 <@amatus> the home depot one "can operate in existing fluorescent
fixtures with ballasts"
13:03 <@amatus> if that's what's required...
13:05 < Rab> A flawed solution, for what would be an ill set of requirements.
13:06 <@amatus> just thought it should be mentioned
15:07 < jerkey_> rab send a damned email to the list

They're $45 - still a bit too expensive, but they should pay for themselves
within a year or two.
We have one in CCL, I think above the fermentation station. We're planning
to buy more of those as the fluorescents wear out, at least until such time
as we decide to swap out the light fixtures altogether...

Gerard went and grabbed two modern thin
fluorescent tubes, and Matthew
replaced
the bad one, and he said he might swap also the bad one in the fixture

the laser cutter.
this was done using the freestanding ladder near the upstairs fridge.

If we've exhausted the fluorescent consumables and there are still
fixtures elsewhere in the Omni that can use these
lights, I'd love to start
working on LED conversion next tuesday. We have a freestanding ladder that
can reach all those fixtures, right?

are there any more working 8-foot-long
fluorescent lightbulbs in omni?
one of
the ones in the northeast corner of sudoroom has stopped working (the
west one)
and the whole fixture is dark now.
of course we should migrate to another type of light in the future, but
i think
we should use up all the fluorescent lights before we do that.
