    Home LED lights

    All the packaging states the LED will last 100K plus hours, only issue is the circuitry controlling the LED's don't. All these lights cost from 20 to 50 bucks each, so replacing lights is costly. Have replaced two outdoor (12VAC low voltage), one went after two years, current one is one year...

    Wear Ring Issue

    Did the freezer thing and removed the old wear ring. Took the new 155mm ring from the freezer and slide it in part way and it started dragging a bit.
