Popular Post Robby W Posted May 2, 2021 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 Not exactly earth shaking, but a step forward: I finally got the lights hung. Just a bunch of Costco LED fixtures. Three light the main power tool area, one in the middle work area and one over the tool and hardware chests. Two single tube strips are the low level "I have to see to get around lites. The rest are for when I am doing finer work. I put one of the Rockler round reflector LED fixture that I previously posted about over the tablesaw. Some more weeding out and I am on to DC plumbing and electrical for the tool island. If only the weeds in the backyard would take themselves to the dump by themselves.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Brown Posted May 3, 2021 Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 I used 4 48” 4 t8 bulb fixtures mounted in the ceiling. They have led bulbs 5000 daylight color. the color of bulbs matter if you use colors be it paint or dyes. I had soft white bulbs but it made purple look blue. I timurned a pen I tjought was blue and when I walked outside it was purple. Lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robby W Posted May 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 Hi, Richard - The lamps in my fixtures are 4000K, which I find to be a decent compromise. Plus they cost very little. Most of my work is with the garage door open for natural light, so no color correction issues there. It might pop-up later when I put a mini-split in for summer use. I'll have to keep an eye on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same that Richard mentioned above but got tired of the expense of replacement, I thought I like them but really like the warmer light of the 4000K 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
