Apart from a few, rarely used, lamps that have yet to be changed,
I have long converted everything to LED.
*Hmm.. I have about 25 twin 5' florries in my workshop in 4
switched banks. This may be the moment to do the LED conversion.



You have plenty of time to find 50 round tuits given they'll be
phased out "from Sept 2023 onwards"

Huh! Put up with an access tower on bare floor. Place is half full
of fixed machinery now.
Might be doable with an agile bloke from Doncaster:-)



How high?


The barn ridge is around 20'. The florries are hung from chains attached
to the purlins so 18' and progressively lower.

These are weatherproof fittings (because I had some) and a pig to work
on from a ladder. Simplest taken down and replaced with a tested
modified unit.

A professional might have something embarassing to say about the
rewireable fuses in a 3 phase distribution board:-)
