Re: Lets talk garage/shop lighting...
Thanks guys... Im going to upgrade to 4 8-foot units w/ 2 bulbs per using T12 high ouput bulbs. Going to go for the cold weather ballasts etc.
Going to replace my existing 2 4 ft. sets w/ 8 ft. units running lengthwise over each garage spot. Then going to run two perpendicular... one at the front of the garage and one at the rear.
I have a backstop/wall unit over my Craftsman workbench that has a 4 foot 2 bulb unit built in.
Right now I have 6500k bulbs in there, but its supre white.... not sure if I like it... going to go for more of a natural dayliht bulb which is around 5000k from what Ive read.
