Reply #60: Mr. Tesha just replaced all of the fluorescent lights in his workshop.

The old ones were the absolutely-crappy bottom-of-barrrel
shop lights left by the previous owner. You know, low power-
factor open frame ballasts, non-rapid-start, thump on startup
and then buzz like crazy...

The new fixtures are nice 2x2-foot troffers with good
electronic ballasts; good power factor, nice fast smooth
starts, and best of all: NO BUZZ! The change in the
environment is positively amazing! (And someday, he'll
even get the rest of the suspended ceiling installed! ;) )

(These are the same type of lighting fixtures that he
installed in my sewing room when he refurbed that two
summers ago. I even got a completed suspended ceiling!)
