It's bulb time and paint booth re-fresh. Has anyone converted T8 to LED? I'm looking at a few sources on EBAY and considering it a lot. The T8's I installed last time were 6500k color and I like those pretty good. Might be just a tad blue in color match compared to "real sunlight" but I'm pickier than most of my customers.
Anyway, appears I need to bypass the ballast and power the LED T8 replacements with 110vac. I'm concerned about light output compared to florescent and should I go with clear lens (the ones you can see the LED) or with the frosted lens. Opinions?
Second, not in the title. Any options or opinions on painting or recoating my paint booth walls. They have been painted twice over the years with white single stage and looking kind of shaby again. I'm thinking about a good cleaning, duct cleaning (it's down draft), lighting upgrade, painting and replacing a couple of cracked glasses. Options or opinions?
Thanks
