Library Lights

On one occasion, the library shelf lights tripped their breaker downstairs and went out.  This only happened once and was at least ten years ago but, it might happen again one day so, here's how to fix it.

There’s a note on the breaker panel that explains what you must do to turn them back on when this happens.  This panel is in the exercise room to your left on entering the room. 

When first built, this library’s bookshelves were lit by incandescent bulbs that got very hot and did not last long.  I annually had to replace most of the entire set.   there are 65 of them so this got a bit tiresome.

In 2018 I replaced them all with LED bulbs.  Now bulb outages are rare, one or two a year, and usually preceded by a period of flickering.  These bulbs are type RL4410-WWHP9, 12 volt, Warm White.  They are available from superbrightleds.com for around $5.00 each.  With shipping and exchange they are more like $6.00 each.  https://www.superbrightleds.com/561-led-bulb-9-smd-led-festoon-44mm+color-Warm~3000K

I buy them 15 at a time.  It takes only a minute to pry a flickering one out and replace it. Because there are so many of them, this is not infrequenet.
