garage LED lighting project

Sweet Jesus! (sorry, god)

Never seen a flashlight with a shoulder strap before. Who needs a gun to defend their property when they have the power to instantly blind their assailants? Seriously, that thing is like a sawed-off photon shotgun!

Have you tested its run time on high? Or does it overheat too quickly? I could imagine even with the fans it'd have a hard time staying cool.

This led lighting business gets complicated quick, apparently. I was curious, Brian (and anyone else), if in your research, you've come across particularly good information resources - websites, books, local vendors, that might have helped you come to the understanding of the subject you have now?

Thanks for showing us your walkthrough so far. I'm curious to learn how your experience of your workshop space changes when you get these installed. When I did a trial run in mine, replacing fluorescent tubes with leds, I was surprised and delighted to find that, though the overall light level didn't change much, the quality of the light was much, ah, cleaner - that is, I felt like I could focus better on objects at hand. Not sure why this would be - a whiter spectrum, surely, but I wonder, too, if it had to do with the rapid fluctuation of fluorescent bulbs.

Keep us posted!
