All Teeners,
I did a search within this list not sure this was covered previously. I am going to demo my garage interior. install lighting, electric, heated floor, the whole deal. My question is what is the direction to go as to the in ceiling lighting? Fluorescent is the path I was heading, though LED is getting better, Any experience with _products_ that are working well for the people in this forum? Thanks! CTC911CTC |

T8 bulbs gave me 959 LUX at bench height, 12 foot ceiling. I like the number but need more light. Been replacing them today with T8 LED replacement tubes. Way my fixtures are built you have to rotate the tombstones 90 degree, and rewire the fixtures. Not hard just lots of up and downs on the scaffold. I have it down to 20-30 minutes per fixture. I am 3/5s of the way done.
Result much better lighting, I went with 5000K and I have 1270 Lux in the same spot now with the LED. I will need to remeasure because that was with one bank on for the LEDs and since 1 LUX = 1 Lumen / 1 square meter additional banks of lights could factor into the measurement. Only problem is now I see how dirty the shop is. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |
