I made those pannels for my garage. They are inspired form the Empi design of the 70's.

Go LED lights Frenchy, The damn buzzing kills me on the neon/Florescent lighting, your electrical bill will be less and I like the "brighter" light the LED's give.... COSTCO had a sale of them last month and I bought a few to try them out, now after hanging them up, wish I had bought ten more LOL

(This old guy can't have enough lights LOL)

I would look into LED flour fixtures too Frenchy. I have installed them and it amazing how much light they put out with almost no heat. In fact if I was building a new home my whole house would be LED. That is the way my house here is. My electric bill was cut in half after LED installation. You should also look into solar panels. They are becoming more and more efficient. Just my opinion.
Frenchy do you still have the NSU?

I don't know if it applies in the US, but over here, electric appliances got a noise rating. Even for neon lighting, wich can be the noisiest things in a quiet place and drive you nuts lol. Bzzzzzzz....
