    It's great that you got to keep the materials, so many uses; much better than letting it go to waste and get ripped out again. Donating it is a really good idea. And whatever they don't take you can always use. I've reused a lot of stuff by doing the is this chunk of wire a few feet longer than I need it perfect, I'm just now finally getting to the bottom of my stack.

    Ah well mystery over maybe if the college doesn’t come through donate it to one of vulnerable seniors or family in need. Gonna be hitting 3k soon and to think how far you have come. I will need to support some of the younger channels like doctor electric. There is so much space for everyone to contribute.

    I used to use a lot of sealant - until a few decades when by and I had to start upgrading some of my work. Some sealants can be a bitch to remove years later. I'm much more stingy these days. On this light I would have only put some inside the light to seal the cable entry.

      maybe they should reply ( bad joke) lol.
      I would suspect that there might be Mennonites, which is just slightly less restrictive. Both groups have slightly embraced some of the newer technologies for business uses. I live next to Pennsylvania, and there has been a recent influx of migration into West Virginia. And at one point they excepted having a community phone and to some extent businesses having phones, now that everybody has cell phones I'm sure that has trickle down so they might have a community cell phone /business cell phone.
