i was gonna get halogens until I did the math. I'd have to put in a
subpanel and new wiring for all the wattage. plus they are H-O-T.

i have a couple 8 foot florescent lights over my shop area which make a hum
loud enough to make you wear ear plugs.... these were BORG shop lights. the
shop is the lowest level of the house, so it is usually cooler than the rest of
the house, like about 55-60 degrees.

the noise is a real distraction so i am thinking about putting up a bank of 4
footers in exchange for the 2 8 footers......... i can also spread them out
a little bit more to get better lighting in different part of the shop...

what should i be looking for in terms of shop lights..... i staying with
florescents and not going to halogens... even tho they would be nice in the
winter time....

any help would be most appreciated...
