Eek! ****-colored 3000k light. Also, you'll have to isolate those
in the ceiling or they'll suck every ounce of heat out of your house
in four minutes flat.

More money, but it's a more pure art form for the shop. ?titter?

And wire nut 120V to the loose wires? That thing is ~4" long and 2"
diameter.


All I'm after is emergency lighting, and they will not suck out any
heat. I was planning on making a long, thin box to mount them down the
hallway, and some similar mounts for the rest of the house. The heatsink
is almost cold to the touch. It measures less than 6° F rise and has
been on for hours. It is 2" from the back of the flange, to the back of
the heat sink, so it won't take much space.
