Re-lighting my shop

[eldubb440]

Im about 2 years in with my first 12 fixtures and box of bulbs......... zero issues and haven't even burned up a bulb yet....... I recently bought a second box of bulbs and bagan swapping out old fixtures in another area of the shop


ps........ they do take a minute or so to fully warm up

I have LED's My fluorescent lights are getting old too but so far they are still working well plus I have a good supply of replacement tubes. Also have a few where I can put them where needed and one fixture is inside my car hanging from the roof.....

Like daylight! I over estimated how many I will need.

Not bad in summer but in winter I have my shop set at 41 degrees so it takes a couple of minutes to get to full brightness.

I would also like to hear more about the LED strips on your lift.
By the way, is that a '68 Chevelle frame?

The New lights really make the Curious Yellow look nice.

Nice enough to find more flaws in the paint job. Albeit very minor flaws.

Well shops relit, fleet is maintenenced, back from vacation, now it's time to get back at it. The car won't finish itself
