c) do away w/ the GFCIs

Oh, there's no fluorescent lighting on the circuit is there?
----------------------------------------------------
I vote for "C" above.

The GFCI is a bit much in this application, IMHO.

That might not be possible. I have a basement shop, and I am required by

I would try a new gfci, it's cheap enough to give it a try.
