I'm currently at a point with a car restoration where there is a lot of sanding and priming going on and it has made my shop a mess and it's no longer working as a detailing space anymore. Because of this I've started working on cars in my other garage but it had poor lighting with only two incandescent fixtures overhead. I do have two halogen stands but I still felt that I needed more overhead lighting.
So last night I went up and picked up two 8' T12 HO fixtures to replace the incandescent ones with but I was only able to find 4100k/CRI 60 bulbs!
Having made the mistake of not researching lighting when I finished off my shop, I wanted to be sure to install the proper bulbs for my intended use this time around (detailing).
I checked out all the local big chain stores but none of them had what I wanted. After spending most the morning today searching online I actually found a local distributor that carried some Sylvania F96T12/DSN50/HO. 5000K 90CRI bulbs! :dance
These bad boys are not cheap either at almost $20 per bulb!
Anyway, I snapped a quick pic over my extended lunch break....they made a huge improvement and hopefully the higher CRI bulbs will help with my color accuracy in my pics too.
