New shop.........."build"

[Vimes]

For lighting in my shop I just put 4 foot T8 dual flourescent fixtures on each joist, and used 4ft LED tubes for the lighting. It meant removing the ballast from the fixtures, but there's plenty of light in there and no hot spots anywhere. I like the 3500K tubes because the light is no different than the incandescents I grew up with. SuperbrightLEDs sells the tubes in bulk packs. I went this way because I didn't want to worry about a fixture with hardwired LEDs not being available when they burned out, but there are billions of T8 4ft fixtures out there - replacements will always be available.
