The last remodel project I have to complete before I start tearing down my 73 bb, is to remodel the garage.
I have been looking at the LED lights and was thinking about installing them instead of fluorescent.
How do you like the LED’s?

I just converted a number of fluorescents to LED and at this point would never even consider fluorescents and I'm giving away any unused fluorescents that I have.

I did the garage over a few years ago. Scrapped the fluorescent fixtures and went with LED lighting and find it so much better.

Received my new tags for the LS5 .. They represent the five generations of my family that have ridden in the car since my father bought it off the showroom floor in March '70.
