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
