Morning
I have a car bodyshop and currently considering changing the lights in my Spraybooth to LED
Currently there is 24 6 feet fluorescent tubes within the spraybooth.
The spraybooth size is 8 meter long 5 meters wide 3.5 meters high
That may seem like a lot of lights but fairly standard for a car spraybooth
This booth is almost 20 years old and the ballasts are slowly going bang every other 3 or four month's
i have changed around 8 over the last two years.
Since i just renewed my electric contract at considerable uplift. I am looking at possibly upgrading the ageing setup for something that would maybe lower my bills even a little.
My conundrum is it appears to gain the same lumen output as a 70watt fluorescent tube i would probably need to go for around a 60watt LED
Suppliers bang on about low wattage LED battens saving you considerable amounts of power but going down to 20-30 watt led batten would save money no doubt but the light/lumen output just isnt there
Have i answered my own question or what am i missing
