Re: Shop lights

Just a comment for consideration.

I have a 10' ceiling in my shop, and when I had surface mount fluorescent lights, I'd sometimes hit the bulb and send glass showering down on a project.

I imagine the LED fluorescent lights are a little more robust than the old glass ones. but something hanging down is still vulnerable to being hit.

I put in flush mount LED cans with a wide angle light dispersion and have been happy with them. I think they were about $10-15 each a couple years ago.

I'd think that by the time you stuffed that old $10 fixture with LED bulbs, you could have bought a decent new LED fixture.

BTW, lumens aren't everything. A light and reflective floor covering also help a lot too
