A neat idea

... so I'm going back to incandescent as they burn out. Can hardly find 60 watt bulbs anymore.

 Bob..

Menards has many types of incandescents if you have one nearby. If you guys lived closer I'd give you a bunch. I'm ok with the switch to leds and have a lot of 60w left over. Probably got used to them here at the cabin since everything is 12v.

I was having a problem with premature bulb failure. A electrician buddy checked out my system, and found a bad ground connection at the load center. He fixed it, and the bulb problems went away.

Good point, Frank.  I went through our panel a couple of years ago, found a few loose screw terminals.

I worked as an elevator installer, maintenance mechanic. In the main line disconnects I was always checking and tightening screw
connections. Connections that are not tight will create resistance. Aluminum wire is the worst.
