80LS1T Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 I finally had it with no lighting in bay for the ZX so I decieded to take matters into my own hands! So I put up 3... "4-bulb 40Watt" flourecent lights above my stall. I think I am going to hang 1 more set above the rear of the bay so I can see what Im doing when Im in the back of the car. I just wish I would have done this 2 years ago when I started my conversion! This is with the normal lights on.......... This is with the new lights and the old lights on..........

Guest 73TPIZ Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Man, you must have sonar to work under the first conditions. I've got 1-4footer at each end of my shop and still sometimes seems dim. Good excuse now to back that out and start on hybrid # next.

Drax240z Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 You can never have too much light in a shop... if I were you I'd add another 3 fixtures! (honestly) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaleMX Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 I have 2 double 8' VHO setups (around 400 watts each) in my basement. It's like standing on the surface of the sun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80LS1T Posted September 16, 2004 Author Share Posted September 16, 2004 I have access to about 10 more of these light set ups. My stepdad brought home about 20 of them when the place that he works at got new ones. Some dont work but there is enough left to make about 10 of them work I bet. All I have to do is buy bulbs($12 for 10 of them!) and wire them up. I know I am going to put atleast 1 more up for the back of the car but I dont know if I will put anymore than that up. Its already super bright in there! LOL I was using those 500W lights on stands but they waste way to much electricity and they are just a pain in the a$$ to move around. And in the summer they are way to hot to have on! Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 I have four pairs of lights hanging in my garage courtesy of my great brother who wired it all. Too bad I can't park in there at all Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
