Money, COSTCO sells LED garage lights rated 3700 lumens and good for 50,000 hours. These things are not the prettiest lights but a frigging bargain at $39.95. You can install multiple sets and leave your garage fully lighted for the cost of one Bigass fixture. A note of caution is that light color is rated @4100K. Not The whittest of lights but pleasently warm.

Thanks for the tips guys. LED just doesn't do it for me. Something about T-8 Fluorescent lights appeal to me. Especially since I finally discovered 5000K lights. It makes my sterile environment look like an operating room and make taking photos so much easier.

The garage light on their site lists the temp as 5000k. I may try one in the summer. I like light and my garage is lacking.

Let me know what you think. Bigass's site is very well done and their technology certainly appeals to me, but I just can't get on board with LED. It doesn't look as good. Their site actually shows that my energy cost would go up by $9 a year in comparison to my T8s.
That, and I think they are like $600 each. So I would be dropping like $3,600 for lights. Yikes!
I was washing my car last weekend and got the camera out. I attached a list of all of the stuff I use to wash to the car. CCBs make the list a bit shorter. If I keep making these goofy videos, I need to spend some time to figure out how to do it right. I have a wireless Lav mic system on order and have to get an eyecup to help me see if I'm in focus.

I haven't noriced anything funky with my LED troffer lights. But I may not be as discriminating. One thing I did NOT want to deal with is replacing fluorescent bulbs as they age and start to flicker. Same for the ballasts.
Our Rennlist buddy AC SATCO sent me some bulbs to play with. He's a lighting geek like I'm a detail geek. I can't wait to play with some different color temps and test out some LEDs. I'm living the nerd dream!
