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!
That fixture uses 2x F40-T12 tubes.
They're just about extinct.
You can use any 4' LED replacement tubes there.
I'd recommend buying the tubes that don't require a ballast.
You'd open the fixture, remove the single ballast and rewire the sockets.
The new tubes will be 4' 32w T8 tubes. Smaller in diameter but fit in the same socket as the T-12's.
If you don't want the hassle of rewiring the fixture..... get the ballast required tubes.
Also called insta-fit or type A........ LED insta fit tubes
I currently don't have an electrical outlet in my bathroom. There is an existing double switch that controls the ventillation fan and light separately. The only wires going to to that box are a black, a red, a white and a ground. The white is connected to both silver screws on the top and bottom of the switch. The black is connected to the top brass screw on the switch and the red is connected to the bottom brass screw on the switch. (See attached pictures)

Is there an easy way to add an always on outlet with a double ganged box in the same spot?
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.
