[SEL] LED shop lighting

[Frank DeWitt]

Short version
Remove everything from the fixture except the sockets at the ends and 
the wires to them.
Run a power cord into the fixture and connect one power cord wire to one 
or both the pins on one end of the fixture.
connect the other wire to one or both the pins on the other end of the 
fixture.
BUT THE RIGHT BULB
