This light no longer works. It can turn on, but with very little/low power. How do I find a similar/compatible part? Does anyone have a step by step guide(w/ photos or video) on replacing it? I believe I will need purchase a soldering iron. The part is acrich3 120v 14.5 w made by Seoul Semiconductor. Note the company has discontinued this item.

I am assuming this is directly from a switch and not a dimmer.
Since you cannot get the part I would replace the fixture.
If for some reason that is not possible find out the total wattage or lumens output then get a LED rope or something similar and wire that in.
Note that dimmability is important if you ever want to put a dimmer on it.
When shopping for a new light keep in mind that a fixture having standard, removeable bulbs can be easily fixed when a bulb goes bad. If the LED electronics are built into the fixture you have to replace the whole fixture.
There is a hollow metal threaded rod sticking out of the white tube.
The fixture should slide down off that rod exposing the two wire connections behind it.
There will be a metal fixture bar across the box. The rod is screwed into it.
Disconnect the two wires.
More than likely you will need to use a shorter threaded rod but it will come with the new fixture.
This is pretty much what will be above your fixture. You may not have a separate ground wire.
Most fixtures mount this way so almost any fixture you purchase can be used here.
Hello everyone,
I was wondering if based on the information on the fixture, can you tell the max watt bulbs it can take? A picture is attached. Right now I have 40 watt fluorescent bulbs in it but wanted to switch to LED and wanted to know the max wattage. The lights in the garage. Thanks in advance!

I got quoted $600 to install 4, 6 inch recessed flat wafer type led lights in the living room plus a fan, including Romex only. I am providing everything else. Is this quote within acceptable industry range?
