also the power supply that is in the LED ballast has places where you can tap in safely. I'll post more photos later to show you. it's a little plastic clip that runs from the current itself and snaps over any wire withing 10-14 gauge wire. so if I buy some more LED pannels I can just tap into them. if needed I'll buy one more ballast like I have and have one pannel tapped into each.
I also took the covering from the light pannel and it seemed to just make the light shine straight down. like less light is illuminated thoughout the room
