    Yet another how much light ...

    I put those same lights in my attached garage, but I bought them off ebay from China for $7 each. They work great. I have 9 of the lights in a 21x21 garage with 8 foot ceilings. It's just enough for what I'm going (rc cars, dirt bikes). A few more would be better. I picked those because of...

    Why do most prefer LED over T5 bulbs?

    Good replies. Thanks. Our new building at work is supposed to be very eco-friendly. They spent a ton of money to get the green tax breaks. That's why I was surprised to see T5's instead of LED's. I haven't looked into ballast or fixture costs yet. I was posing this question before I...

    Questions about "The Best Light Fixture Ever!"

    Questions about "The Best Light Fixture Ever!"

    I posted this 3 days ago in the stickied thread, but I didn't get a response. Maybe that was the wrong spot. Here's my question: I'm looking at this thread for some direction for my shop. It's a 24x45 (1080 sf) metal building. The ceiling is closed cell foam that's painted gloss white. The...

    The Best Light Fixture Ever!

    I'm looking at this thread for some direction for my shop. It's a 24x45 (1080 sf) metal building. The ceiling is closed cell foam that's painted gloss white. The walls are light grey plywood, and the floor is a medium grey (Rust Bullet). The way the trusses work out, it would be nice to hang...
