Poor 'Upgrades' You've Seen Whilst Buying Their Old Stuff?

So I collected a few bits the other day from someone local, A few T8 & T12 tubes and 7x fluorescent battens including a couple of nice old Pop-Packs that the seller had just removed in favour of an "LED upgrade". He seemed quite excited to show me this upgrade in his large workshop (3-4 car garage size)...
As I walked into the workshop I almost burst out laughing, he had installed 6x standard B22 lamp holders fitted with god awful daylight LED lamps, think they were 9 watts so probably in the region of 700-800 lumens each. He was impressed at how "bright" it was, I just politely agreed, I couldn't bring myself to say anything. It really wasn't bright at all, I'm sure you can imagine how dim and shadowy it was. I certainly wouldn't want to work in there all day long.
So, what terrible upgrades have you seen when collecting the sellers old stuff that they've just removed?
