Lighting
Appearance
We need to replace the current overhead lights with something more efficient. The area under the overhang is also under lit.
Buying Options
Fixtures
- Shop lights available at Home Depot, Wal-Mart, etc. for about $12-$15. Here's one on Amazon for $15.
- Lamp cord have a light socket on one end and a plug on the other. Ikea sells the Hemma for $3.99.
- Torchiere lamps are cheap and safe with CFLs. Ikea sells the uber cheap NOT for $6.99.
Bulbs
- Compact Florescent (CFL) bulbs use about 1/4 the energy of incandescent bulbs. Wal-Mart sells a 26 Watt (100W Equivalent) 6 pack for $15.16 ($2.52 each). Lots of other place to shop for these.
- Florescent Tubes use 40 watts each for standard 48" T12 bulbs. The tubes are pretty cheap at Home Depot. Amazon has a 10-pack for for $28.90.
