Shop Lighting Questions.
Ok so Im planning the new shop lighting and wanted to see if anyone has used the LED fixtures for there shop space and if so. How do they compare to the Fluorescents in same size and style.
I was able to secure enough used 4 bulb fluorescent fixtures to be seen from space!!! That is IF I used them all in my shop. lol
They say its up to 33% less money to run the LED lighting compared to the fluorescents. and running the whole shop.. Lets say 20 4 bulb fixtures. the price might be worth the investment to go LED? and They say you never have to replace them. and they can be ran on a dimmer switch so you can tune them to your desired amount of light. where a Florescent is either ON or OFF and if I want to regulate I will have to run each area with multiple switches.
Here is my thoughts. When I am laying the lighting out. I could alternate and add some LED lighting in each area as well as use the fluorescents I have on hand. But B4 I spend the scratch on them I was hoping to get some input from the pound!
