I now have more pics to include the new light fixture I installed in this room:
The utility room was slated for a heavy-duty powerwall installation, but it was only lit initially by a single naked
incandescent build. I saw some LED lights on clearance at Lowe's and thought it was worth trying for $8/ea. They were rated at 5000 Lumen, so why not?
It was an upgrade in the amount of light in the room, but several of the fixtures were broken in the box, and they were all pretty flimsy so I could see why they were being discontinued. As we progressed on the powerwall installation, it occurred to me that we'd have room in load center for both a light circuit and a 20 amp utility circuit, so I added those breakers, but didn't have all the components to install the light or outlet yet. Most of the useful task lighting for this job came from folding rechargeable bar lights.
We hung the new LED flat panel light fixture and connected the BX whip to it, to return later with the missing hardware because it took 2 people to hold the light fixture while measuring the chain to hang it from, and also to hang it.
A few days later, I returned alone with the offset conduit fitting, the box, and the mixed box cover, and finished the job. The Edison base fixture with the hard-to-find-in-the-dark pull string has now been retired, and there's a little glow from the GFCI outlet to guide to the light switch.
I also swapped the florescent fixture in adjacent server room from a florescent fixture to LED in this same project, because they were sold in 2-packs,although the server room came first, and the leftover panel install is what's mostly shown here.
The owner was so thrilled with the new LED lighting that they had me replace all the other florescent fixtures in the basement, but I don't think I took pictures of that part...
