For those needing more lumens than the 8000K deliver, there are 11000K temperature LED light tubes - mfgd by Lithonia. Not cheap. The Platinum Electric Co. plant uses them in its gen-room up on the 59th parallel, where the winters can be a bit darker than at the southern parallels.

When I built my shop 8??? years ago I thought I was making a smart decision when I installed four bulb T-5 high output fixtures. I've been happy with them, but now it looks like I am blocked from upgrading to LEDs. The T-5s are 8900 lumens. I will most likely just add some LED fixtures. Any suggestions regarding fixtures?

This bulb fits many sandblast cabinets (18" holder). You'll actually be able to see what you're blasting!

Thanks. Interesting that they will fit both t5 and t8. Since I wrote that I've found several sources. the main thing will be pricing. I want to add more fixtures so it's good to know that I'll be able to use the same bulbs.

When Dan Pate picked up the CP planishing hammer he bought from me he informed me that my lighting wasn’t up to snuff. I had already played with the idea of going the T5 route but thought that lighting was kind of eerie in my friend’s motorcycle shop. Dan highly recommended Winplus LED utility lights he had purchased from Costco. They have a bunch of features you can learn about here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqxl3XU2dqg . Best of all they were on sale at that time for $30 each delivered to my shop instead of the regular price of $40 each. THE BIG MISTAKE I MADE WAS I ONLY ORDERED 20 of them instead of the 40 or 45 I would need to do my whole shop. I LOVE THEM because they are housed inside an airtight plastic housing so they are a jiff to clean. I’ve found in my shop the top half of florescent lights gets covered with welding smoke, then the room isn’t as bright. Installation is easy as well because they are so light……… easy to handle when up on a ladder. Dan feels one of these lights equals two 4’ twin bulb fluorescents in light output and I pretty much agree. Not always in stock at Costco but worth waiting for IMO. If anyone notices they are on sale again for $30 please let me know, I will be eternally grateful….. what more can I say. ~ John Buchtenkirch
