We’ve made the move to LEDs in all of our ceiling fixtures (not on dimmers) and have seen a big savings in power draw and a decrease in heat generation. The G4 wafer replacements install with little effort (make sure you get the Warm bulbs). …

Seneca Falls, NY to Mackinaw City, MI (Sept 1 to 23 )
Once we made the decision to loop again, we felt like we were way behind schedule. Generally, “loopers” plan to be in Chicago, getting off the lakes, by Labor Day. Here it was September first and we were no where near Lake Michigan. S…
