Re: Shop Lighting Recommendations

" I did use the T12 34W cool white bulbs left by the previous owner. I will
probably get some 40W bulbs "

Our son just completed a rather large shop with about 26 2 bulb 40w T12
fluorescent light fixtures. He bought the bulbs at different times and
different places. Nine of the fixtures hummed badly, then they started going
out. I told him to check what the bulbs were and what the fixture said. He
had mistakenly picked up a box of 32w "energy saver" bulbs, they were
humming and ruined 7 fixtures before he figured out the problem.
