About this blog title

I cannot tell you how many times I have shown up at events with a couple of cameras around my neck, a gadget bag full of odds & ends and a lighting kit and have been asked that question. If it happened once every few years, that would be one thing. But it happens a LOT. It's like getting pulled over by the police and he's standing there with uniform, gun, flashing lights and asking him "Are you a cop?" I would love to come back with a witty reply, such as "No, I am Jesus. Don't you recognize my beard?" However, I cannot be that rude.

Friday March 11, 2022. I replaced light fixture in kitchen

Today I replaced a light fixture in the kitchen of home in Chaumont, NY.  

Ceiling light fixture quit. discovered burnt out socket that the T8 bulb plugs into.



February 23rd one of the 2x4 foot fluorescent light fixtures in our kitchen ceiling suddenly quit. Quick inspection revealed burnt end on one of the 4 tubes and the socket it plugs into. What caused it? I don't know. Wasn't able to find a similar replacement locally so ordered one at Home Depot. It took a couple weeks to get here. The fixture arrived at the store when they said it would, however, it was damaged and had to be returned. The replacement arrived about a week later. it as ok and I competed the project today. 

Closer view of T8 light bulb socket that burned and quit working.








Light fixture arrived from Home Depot in a damaged carton. The fixture proved to be ok.
