Well, after painting 9 cars in my garage and dodging neighbors and the police I finally found a professional spray booth to use. It was an old autobody shop that a retired gentlemen bought to use as a hoppy shop for his old card and race cars. It has a Spraybake paint booth that he had referbished. However, he doesn't know how to paint and has no intentions of using it. So, he' letting me use it to do my thing. The only thing it needs are the walls painted white ( I think I know which paint I'll use for that ) and better lighting. It currently has 10 400W metal halide lamps in the ceiling. The company that provides parts and support for the booth can sell me LED lights which put out 19000 lumens, 6500K, and a CRI of 82 and use about 130 watts. They want $180 for each bulb. The fixture uses a E39 bulb base.
I found these bulbs which aren't as bright, but 1/6th the cost . https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077TTW8Y...1-1-9e67e56a-6f64-441f-a281-df67fc737124&th=1
Can anyone recommend an LED bulb to replace the metal halides with a E39 base that has specs close to the ones for $180?
