Look at how spray booths are lit so well with so few fixtures.
The same size space with stud walls and an open ceiling will be dark with twice the lighting.
As we all know good lighting is critical to a successful restoration project and the KEY element to painting. Glad we're discussing this Richard.  |
I may try these LEDs at some point. The only downside is I don't feel like rewiring 8 ballasts from a ladder right now. I don't have as much energy for extra work as I age.
I agree with the improved brightness from cleaning the walls and doors. My white garage doors had really become dingy with age and soot. I cleaned each panel back to the original white color and improved the lighting quite a bit.
What I want is a very clean crisp white light for when I'm polishing and detailing. The fluorescents are ok, just not what I would like to eventually have.
