Default Installing Some Fluorescent Strip Lights?


"Edward" wrote in message

Basically I have a basement area / workroom. Two regular edison light
bulb slots.
I would like to replace them with three Fluorescent strips like this

Item #: 163719 Model: SS232UNVEB81
from Lowes.
So my question is How do I get power to the center one?
Just buy X amount of cable, hard wite those babies where the bulb
sockets are now, and just cap it off from where I connect the
fixture's lights to the house power?
Parallel?

Or can't I do that with Fluorescents?


Yep, can be done. Three lights in parallel. Essentially the flourescents
are wired up just like the existing lights. There won't be any need to "cap
it off" at the end of the line, since those power wires will be connected to
the flourescent light. (if "cap it off" means cut the wire & put wire nuts
on it, connecting to nothing)
