So I bought an LED shop light yesterday and I was just looking at the installation instructions and it says to install two ceiling hooks 44.08 inches apart. There are no #metric instructions. That bugged me, and I assumed it had been manufactured overseas in metric and would translated to a round metric number. It translates to... 111.963cm. WTF?! Even if you assume rounding errors, why 112cm? Not 100 or 120 or even 115? WHYISTHIS!
