Greetings All,
I have a basement which has just a couple of 48" flourescents right
now. I need to add more lighting and was looking at replacing the
flourescents with something else brighter. Since the machine layout
will be in flux for a while, ceiling cans are out. Besides, my local
code requires conduit everywhere, and I'm not going thru that for
ceiling cans. I was at the borg and picked up a couple of GE 24"
halogen fixtures, thnking they would be nice and bright. I was dead
wrong. Dim, compared to my flourescents. Probably good for a small
area at best. The one thing I did like about them is they are
linkable. Any ideas out there? Bright, and linkable would be good....
TIA, Mark


Mark,

Replace your existing fixtures with ones that take the T8 bulbs. They
are twice as bright as regular fluorescents for about the same cost.
You may not have to add any more fixtures either - I didn't. Another
advantage is that they don't flicker when the temp is cold.

And they don't buzz and fizz. I changed over my main shop to T8 and
now I hate to turn on the lights in the storage room which is still t12.
