I've had four twin-bulb 4' T12 fixtures in my garage since I bought the house. They worked fine... until the temperature dropped below 50, which it does for about 4-5 months a year in my unheated gar

I never had any trouble with cold using two of the cheap 2 bulb 4" florescent strips (the $10 ones) in my garage in Houston. They always fired right up and gave good light coverage in the two car bay

My garage is about 25x22. I have to pairs of 8' lights mounted under the beam 9' over the floor and they throw enough light for auto work. They are the ballasted fixtures for cold temps and besides a

I had nineteen 8', twin tube, T12 mag ballast fluorescent fixtures in my shop. These provided plenty of light but drove me out of the shop with the constant buzzing (much worse in cold). It was so ba

Take a look at the newer T5 HO fixtures. It's what many of the big box stores (Home Depot, Wal-Mart, etc) are using to replace the Metal Halide lights used in the past. They have the advantage of eve

Ok, I have some questions. T5, T8 , T12, HO, magnetic ballasts, electronic ballasts, different color temperature. It is enough to make your head explode. It is tough to understand what the choices ar

I don't know of a FAQ, Bill, but those terms are easy enough to define : T5, T8, T12 all refer to different bulb diameters. The number is (roughly) the bulb diameter in 1/8 inch increments, so a T5

Lee, A lot of things to consider here. I like lots of light, too. I use 96" T12 HO (110 watts) mounted up high in the shop that pays the IRS and provides the bling for my wife. Expensive outlay, but

Lee, the trick to great distribution of shop lighting is to install a few, flush mounted, vertical fixtures in the wall. You don't need many fixtures to make the undercar area as bright as overhead.

At the time, the bulbs were cheaper and the fixtures were about a push. As I recall, I paid about $22 for new fixtures, and a 15 pack of bulbs was under $50. Of course, I took into account that it o

All fluorescent lights work fine in the cold. Some just don't start well in the cold. Simple solution . . . when it is going to be cold out, leave them on until it warms up. I know a guy who just le
