Nice 8' strip light
I don't know why you wouldn't just hang the light. Everything is screwed right to the plywood ceiling.

That's one of those new invisible fixtures where you can see the inner workings!

Maybe, just maybe the fixture exploded and the parts are stuck there.

SWCD (See What Cletis Did)
I am absolutely amazed at how hard some people will work to do things like this. I would love to hear what the village idiot's reasoning was for doing this.

I did have to put back together a house tweekers tore apart. They tore out a hole in the foundation and tunneled into the side yard. Ran an extension cord from there neighbors and buried in the ground to their new hole. The couldn't use their own power cause the ripped out all the copper for money.

You going to update that light to t-8? You could put up a new one for him, just need 2 lamps, 4 sockets, and 1 ballast!

Looks like an elementary school science fair project that really got out of hand. Really bizarre. The plywood makes a great heatsink for that ballast...

I've been to Iowa a few times. I'm sorry to say this is my work. Bastards only offered a dozen ear of corn for payment, so they got what they paid for.
