So, :deadhorse: here and yep, shop lighting.
I`ll be short and to-the-point.
I`ve got a 32` x 15` bay in my shop that I`m preparing for detailing.
On the roster of lights I already have (most left by previous owner)...
T-12 8`, HO- 5 of them
T-12 8`- 2 of them
T-12 4`- 3 of them
T-8, 4`- 4 two lamps, 1 four lamp
The 4` lamps pretty much suck but I`ve got them on the `short` walls where an 8` will not fit.
I`ve read that the LED canned lights (PAR 38) are pretty nice for finding defects... but what about T5 HOs (4`, 4 lamp hung from above?)
I`ve got the T12 HO 8 footers on the floor angled 45 degree, upwards, and mounted in the upper corners at a 45 degree down angle. The regular T12 8` are 3` above the floor on each side.
Really looking for what lamps or lighting style for over head. Also... work lights... I have a 1000 watt halogen stand but I noticed Home Depot has a pretty nice LED work light for $99.
I`ve got access to a licensed electrician (father-n-law and brother-n-law) so cost of installation won`t be a factor... just the hardware(s).
Thanks for any feedback,
Dellinger
