Shop Lighting


I'm looking to put better lighting in our shop. Does anyone use something better than the fluorescent tubes for their shop lighting.

Re: Shop Lighting


I have 18' ceilings and use mercury vapor lighting. In the lofts we still use florescents. I play with LED's a lot but they are not ready for prime time IMHO.
