In the back room (aka the 'scary room'), there is an array of these very old, institutional feeling fluorescent fixtures:
As the bulbs fail, I can't bear to replace them with more fluorescent bulbs (not to mention I don't like the fixtures in the first place). Then, walking through Costco, I noticed some LED panels on sale. On a whim, I bought one which then force me to do the following:
-take down the old fluorescent fixture
-wire in the new LED panel
-attach the new panel to some cross-beams of my own design (home depot excursion required)
-break off the old fixture's side panels and glue them to the new one
The problem is that, now, I dislike the old fixtures even more in contrast: When I turn on the light switch, the new light comes on instantly and rains down lovely photons concerted from electricity just about as efficiently as possible. Meanwhile, the old ones sputter on (or not) and wheeze down some inefficient yellow dominated photons...
