Re: Lighting in the shop

I would replace if the budget works. I wouldn't do anything but LEDs in a new construction. The problem with most fluorescents is that many are HD or Lowes versions and not nearly up to industrial standards. They are cheaply designed and made which is probably causing your problems. We did a retrofit to an industrial plant I worked in. The projected payback was 5 years, 28 months later they had already hit that mark. Just no comparison for energy savings. If you use your shop 3-4 hours a day, they'll probably have a payback under 5 years.
