This 'state-of-the-art' auto body repair and training facility had (31) 400/MH Lo-Bay fxtrs rated at 455 watts each providing, at best, 22 footcandles at the workplane. Fixtures are suspended 18' off the floor.

These fxtrs are great during the 1st yr of operation, but rapidly depreciate the following year going forward.

Final installation shows greater footcandles at 28fc, better distribution at half the energy needs, (232 watts).

These high-lumen, 6 lamp linear fluorescent instruments provides improved distribution, instant-on capabilities and the power company paid $75 each in rebates!


Much improved uniformity and light levels after the upgrade, which only took 2 days to complete.
