Since my walls and ceiling are gloss, eggshell white, and light grey floor, I used 80/80/55 and populated accordingly. It came out very bright. I only wish I had 5000k instead of the 4000k but I think it is more mental than visual! :-) Thanks for the explanation of the calculator, that must be...

Something is wrong. My link www.visual-3d.com/tools/interior/default.aspx?id=14782 shows qty 12 lights and room 26 x 36. No idea why your data is different. In this post I modified the link by deleting the http in the front of the url. Maybe try it and see if different results. Maybe I'm...

http://www.visual-3d.com/tools/interior/default.aspx?id=14782 My shop is 26 x 36 x 11 ft ceiling. Finished all over. White walls, white ceiling, light grey floor. I used 80% reflective walls and ceiling, 55% floor. 12, 2-lamps, 3000 lumens gave me 91fc at 30". I have them on 3 circuits and most...

OVERKILL! . . . if you have a finished garage with painted walls and a light color, reflective, floor. But then again, you didn't describe your environment or the lumens of the bulbs. Probably could be half that amount, depending . . . :-)

Due to the photobucket fiasco I can not see any of your construction pics from the link at the bottom of your post! Not sure of what to do. Thanks for the Lowes heads-up.

I have been subscribed to this thread from the beginning. It just dawned on me that I have had no email notice for the past few months! Went back and checked my email and surprise! . . . my last notice was August of last year! Not sure what is going on but this is just a "heads-up" to...

Great question . . . anybody?

I jumped on this thread more than 2 years ago. The work laid out by Plantonic Solid was a great benefit and appreciated. However, he inferred at the time the LED industry was still immature and pricing and technology was changing rapidly. I have read the entire thread 2 times and I am no better...

Beautiful tool trays. Thanks for the saw information.

What saw did you use to cut the Lexan? What kind of teeth (cross cut, rip, carbide, etc.) and how many. (number per inch). Thanks for the post . . . beautiful shop.

What is the wall thickness and size of the steel tubing?

I need to clarify. You can still buy that mic for around $100. But that is a new tool. A used instrument, measuring to .0001", people are afraid of it. Buying digital is more popular with the kids and $100 for new is worth it for an old guy! LOL.

All Mitutoyo measuring tools are of the highest quality. They came with a hardened anvil, a sensitive clutch, and resolution of .0001". Back-in-the-day those features were optional and extra cost on the "professional" brand of the day, Starrett. They came standard on the Mitutoyo. It was about...

I don’t see any joints. No matter where it or what it is, ALL concrete must have joints to prevent random cracking. I don’t care if it is a runway in Thailand, a freeway, a polished Bank floor, or a garage. If it is not a post-tension design, concrete should be jointed for every cubic yard or...

Those are sticky track tires and no license plate. I didn't know the Vatican had a track!
