			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Home Depot sells a 4-bulb instant start ballast for $20.  I was going to order a &#8216;high ballast factor&#8217; ballast for $35, but I decided to buy this one and get it done tonight instead.  The new ballast fit perfectly into the cheap shop light fixture, so I didn&#8217;t have to drill any new holes or use new hardware.  Since the instant start doesn&#8217;t heat the end filaments, the wiring is cut in half.  I tried to determine if the fixture with 2 2-bulb ballasts or the 1 4-bulb ballast was brighter.  I couldn&#8217;t determine a difference with my eye.  I screwed two more hooks to the ceiling and rigged up some paracord for the second fixture.  I was thinking about building a rack, but this setup was quick and easy and will get me through this year.  I can always change it up next year if I have excessive time on my hands! (doesn&#8217;t ever seem to happen)</p>

<p>Inspired by my brother&#8217;s excellent color-coded custom length Christmas light modification, I made a couple of special extension cords with plugs in just the right places.  They really clean up the wiring and save me from having excessive cords rolled up all over the place.  Our lights are LED, and each string is made up of two circuits, each circuit has an electronic device and 30 LEDs wired in series.  I didn&#8217;t feel like trying to figure out how to cut and splice strings to make custom lengths from the lights this year, but that is really the way to go, maybe next year.</p>
