Of all the options in the world, you went for a titty lamp? Really? A titty lamp.

As an Electrician, I'm disappointed in you. All these lovely, modern, flat led panels available these days and you ignore them for a titty lamp. Humbug!

That was the light that was in the ceiling previously. It worked fine and I didn't want to replace it lol.

Anyone still seeing this, yes I didn't insulate it. Yes it's a titty lamp. Yes it's only a drop ceiling. I know all of this. This is my first and last post to this subreddit. DIY usually means it's not gonna be perfect. I'm open to suggestions but criticism on an amature just seems fucking like you have nothing better to do. I plan to insulate but the titty lamp is staying.

Behind my house was an old business building. It was like doctors offices and I think a barber shop and some apartments. Anyway, someone bought it and have been renovating it for the past few years and that's there's.

I like the lamp and support the reuse of a perfectly functioning light.

As a house owner, the nice flat led panels are SO much more expensive, at least where I live. No thanks.

Although I use flatter ones without nipples, just big enough to fit a standard light bulb or two.

Even when using two ZigBee bulbs, it's still way cheaper than the flat panels.

From where? I've seen deals like that on Amazon that aren't UL certified so when your house burns down you're likely screwed once your insurance notices that was the cause.
