Any ideas out there for inexpensive lighting options for a garage? Leds are really starting to be a great option as they have gotten cheaper but they can be pricey anyone found the magic bullet?

QUOTE(budk @ Jan 5 2016, 05:52 PM)  Go LED and never look back. I would agree with this statement if you can get quality LED fixtures/bulbs. Quality will mean more money and they should also be made in the USA or Europe. I have tried the cheaper LED fixtures/bulbs in my house and they were not any better that compact fluorescents. In my garage I went with the cheaper T12 fixtures from HomeDepot and change out to a better ballast when they go bad. I will start moving to T8 when T12's become hard to find. I have (2) lighting circuits which is helpful if I want to only turn on a section of my garage. |
