Hi Guys. I'm planning to convert my garage into a workshop for carpentry. There are some old flouresant tubes in there but looking for ideas for new lighting. It's a double length 8.2m x 2.7m. I had tubes in my last workshop and they were OK, but I'm interested to hear other ideas.
And no flicker, so safer, no strobscopic effect like you get with old fluorescent tube fittings,when using machinery. Would look at cool white version, some have a rotatable cap, giving you up to 120°adjustable beam angle.
Hi Guys. Thanks for the replies, most appreciated. I like the sound of LED, but I would have to fill in the ceiling to fit down light housings for those. Are the LED tubes flicker free and bright enough?
I find the led tubes bright enough,there are Cool White (4000k) Daylight tubes (6500k). There is no flicker with led T8 tubes,some of the newer tubes offer up to 180 degree directional light. This gives you a idea of different colours available.
Slightly wandering, I have been looking these Osram 4ft 20w SubstiTUBE Value LED T8 Tube to relamp some old fluorescent fittings in the workshop. http://www.lampshoponline.com/osram-4ft-20w-substitube-value-t8-led-tube-830-840-865/
Think you've misunderstood the advice re led fittings here, the guys are talking about either replacing the existing tubes with LED versions or change the complete fitting for a similar fitting, but again, LED No need to fill in the ceiling, not talking about individual "down lights" here I recently gave a mate a hand to change 2 old 6' flories for LED panel lights, 600x1200mm in a small workshop. The light is just superb
