    Cool New lights for the Dungeon Shop!

    Went out and spent a little bit of cash! Seems i was getting tired of using an old "Trouble lite" as a way to light the shop. Gets tiresome to keep moving the darn thing from koist to joist. So, i went out and bought a new 48" long, twin bulb, T-8 light fixture. About $23.00 counting buying the seperate bulbs. Got it hanging up on it's two chains, and plugged in.SDC14320.jpg Let there be DAYLIGHT! I can actually see what I am working on!

    Pretty amazing how better lighting can make a shop feel like a different place. Better lighting actually makes me feel more productive.

    Will the light make your projects better or worse?

    You can see all the defects a little bit better. I went from a mechanic"s Trouble light hanging from a ceiling joist, to just a dual light T-8. It was like suddenly I am outdoors on a sunny day! Me likey!

    That's a start. Now cover those walls with white pegboard.

    Now all you need for that dungeon is a dragon. Gives both light and heat, of course the shop cleanup would take a bit longer. Like George, I also liked the photo of the new lights.
