workshop set-up

Having a professional do your lighting is worth it.  There's nothing worse
than trying to work in a poorly lit space.  It's not as cheap as a Home
Depot job but you will get quality lighting with the right amount of
wattage, color corrected, arranged correctly for your workspace, etc..  No
hum, no flicker, no buzz and instant on to boot.

In  Hi Dean

  The lighting in this shop are high output fluorescent with color corrected
bulbs. What a difference & they do not buzz.  The fixtures (125.00) are
available at commercial lighting stores as well as the bulbs. Not cheap but
good light is everything.

Another consideration is lighting. I invested in several 8' double
fluorescent fixtures. They cost close to $100 each with the bulbs and they
buzz. I would not do this again. I would use the screw in compact
fluorescent bulbs. You can get them with 200 watt equivalent light output
for about $8/bulb. Add the cost of a plastic fixture, about $1.50, and
you've got less than $10 per fixture. They don't buzz and 2 of them put out
more light for less energy consumption and a whole lot less money. They also
sell a version of them in a dusk to dawn fixture with 400 watt equivalent
for about $50. I haven't played with any of those.
