I live in northern minnesota where it gets very cold. I have a 30 by 56 foot shop with a 16 by 30 foot section that maybe heated off and on. The slab was new last year and has no vapor barrier under it. I live on gravel road. What would my best choice for flooring be considering the gravel...

I decided to keep my lights and use them all, I have yet to wire them all up but I did test one in the -15 to -20 below temp using tube guards and the guards did help with the warm up time considerably. I think the lights will work nicely. Thanks.

I can relate to you feeling like you got ripped off, I feel the same way. I ended up taking one of my fixtures into the house and trying it, I was impressed with the light it gave off and the 6500k lamps seemed nice. I then took it back out to my shop and hooked it up for a couple hours and it...

I did call one of the ballast manufactors and they did inform me these will start at -20 with regular t8 lamps, they said don't use energy saving ones as they will not last long in that low temperature. I also was told it would be normal for them to flicker and be duller until the lamps warm up...

I guess I am confused about what I can expect then from these fixtures using the standard 32w lamps. I do not know much about the difference between HO and Non HO. I am wondering If I should take them back, I have 12 of them and the store is 100 miles away. Will these be bright when they warm...

Both Ballasts do saw on them that they can go down to -20F. The sylvania one says it will do that with 4 x F032t8 bulbs. The Accupro one says it has a min start temp of -20 with 4 x F32T8 32 watt lamps

I am now thinking you all are right and they are not high output like the boxes say, did I misinterpet something? Are these lights any good if they are not the high output? The tag at home depot said 8' high output strip tf-Lithonia LIghting TUNS232MVOLT. E 247-790 sku number. $56 each. I...

On the outside of the carton it says 8 foot 4 lamp tandem heavy duty high output strip t8 mvolt 120-277v. commercial ho/cw ballast starts down to -20 with 32w lamps. one of the ballasts show lamp types 4 x fo32t8. Also says suitable for u bend and ss equivalents. I would give a link to the...

The end on the bulbs I bought do not have the black piece on the end, just the two metal pins that come out of the bulb. Thanks

I have a 30x56 Shop with 10 foot high walls. I recently bought from home depot 12 t8 high output lithonia 8 foot fixtures that use 4 foot bulbs. These have -20 start commercial balasts (sylvania or accupro). All the ballasts are rated A for noise so interference with radios should not be any...
