[s-cars] RE: garage lighting

Bob illuminated:

<<<And I can not recommend this enough.  For a garage do not buy
anything
other than High Output fluorescents.  Yes the costs are higher, both
bulb and fixture, but there is no substitute for the light output you
get from them.  Taka mentioned paint booth light levels.  I have a
standard two car garage with two twin 8' HO fixtures (440W total) and it
may not be quite paint booth levels, but it's pretty bright.  And that's
with 12 year old bulbs, which are probably at 75% or less of their
initial output by now.  Paul K. and Bill Perron should be able to vouch
for the brightness.>>>





See, if there are those here who already don't believe, when EF Hutton
talks, people listen.  Er, Rossato that is.

Bob's garage is nice and bright, perfect workshop-bright.  Coupled with
Bob's 18' florescent drop light it was plenty bright (OK, maybe it's
only 2' but when you're under the car trying to manipulate it, it seems
like 18').

In fact Bob's garage is so bright it allowed me to conduct my long
planned secret espionage mission to Bob's.  Yes, I have in fact
confirmed the very beginning's of Rossatoismnessifonification, sitting
around under 12" of dust were 993tt rotors, and an Avant front and rear
sway bar.  I'm sure the rest is in there somewhere, hard to see past my
hugest of hugely enormously outrageous POSest of POS 4kq donor cars in
the way in there, all the rust chunking off of it seemed to absorb at
least some of the light.

Ah yes, my twin 8' H.O.s are going up in the coming weeks.  Sweet!  Just
in time as I'm *sure* something on one of my cars will require attention
by then.  Or I'll just use them to install that 138dB airhorn and new
Sparco pedals ($28 shipped, why not?).
