Best $13 investment in a while. Instead of a single bulb fixture I got a dual bulb fixture and put some bright LEDs in it. Took 3" screws to mount it to the electrical box properly
. The handyman who the previous owner used clearly left something to be desired. There is easily 4x the light in the room now.
1st coat is some Kilz 2 Primer.
2nd coat is the same paint I used for the walls. Seems to do well against water. I'll put a 3rd coat on and paint the other BTA rack tomorrow. I have to do them one at a time because they are too tall to block up unless they are under the one missing ceiling tile
