Mine are 18w. I've only run them for a few hours and have had no problems.

The tubes are this: http://www.jamesindustry.com/ProductView.Asp?ID=20 Frosted plastic lenses. I chose the 5000k

For the MaxLite fixtures: 1) yes, a single 1/2" knockout on each of the sides/ends. 2) doesn't say specifically, but you might want to read this: http://www.jade1.com/jadecc/courses/UNIVERSAL/NEC05.php?imDif=133. To me it sounds like #3 would apply. 3) yes, the knockouts line up, but I don't...

I had to make the same choice and I figured that anything above the lights is basically wasted space, so I wanted them as high as possible and put them at an angle. My slope isn't as dramatic as yours, only 8 inches over 4 feet. I'm glad I didn't do chains.

I just came in after finishing my installation. It makes a dramatic difference in how the space feels. Fixtures - they are great with a few minor annoyances. It's a "tool less" design, which is nice, but the clips that hold the cover on the frame are like a frustrating puzzle in your pocket...

No because that wall has the blast cabinet, air compressor, a walkway, and two 10' X 10' sliders, so I'm not too worried.

I don't have any sketches handy, but 36 total fixtures in a grid of 9 X 4. I basically have 9 rafters that are 24 feet long. Each rafter will get 4 fixtures with roughly a foot between each one and closer to two feet between the end of the last fixtures and the walls. Rafters are spaced 4' on...

It could look cool, but I think the pieces and parts will start adding up. Cord, cord ends, receptacles, boxes, chain, etc...

Yes, with the add-on 5000k tubes. It will be cool in the mornings on Friday and Saturday and I hope to get all of my climbing around in the rafters done during that time and should have more to report.

Friday morning I was ready to bite the bullet and buy the 38 fixtures and 76 tubes that I need for my new shop. I had done some searching online and messed around with some ~$10 fixtures from local big box stores and some of their led tubes. All of those had issues of one form or another...

No, but I don't think you're my type. Why go back? I guess I hadn't surrendered enough of my money and dignity yet.

Hi everyone. I'm 42. I'm an electronics engineer. I'm divorced. I have been married 7 times, to 3 women. I will be building a 24 x 40 garage this summer. I like cheese. Lady Elaine on Mr. Rogers kinda creeps me out. I live in the Mitten. Benjamin P.S. Bacon is a gateway meat.
