BE CAREFUL when using halogen lights or else...

Thanks guys. these things get real hot incredibly quick. My 500w each twin halogens sure don't go near rags and I turn off as soon as I am about to go out the workshop.

We just had JACHO at our hospital this past week so everybody needed a refresher on all the safety codes and procedures.
 
Interesting, looks like Ill be careful with my lights. I only turn them on after I polished out a panel. That is only to check if I have left anything behind, then I turn it off. Main reason why I dont leave it on is because Im already sweating from working and the heat from the light doesnt help much lol.
 
if you work in a body shop environment it is a good idea to spend the extra money and get a clean agent fire extinguisher such as Halon, Halotron or CO2.

It's also a lesson in not leaving lights unattended. I also hate it when my wife leaves a candle burning a room unattended.

More than one home has burned this year alone, just in our area, from unattended candles. I won't have them either!

Halon is no longer manufactured, as it contains Chloroflourocarbons. What 's out there is all there is.



Halotron extinguishers are expensive. A 1.4 pound Halotron extinguisher retails for $110

a 15 pounder retails for $620.



CO2 extinguishers are ideal for energized electrical equipmewnt, but their use on ordinary combustibles and flammable/combustible liquids isn't recommended.



New spray booths are required to have fire sprinkler systems installed.
 
1) that pic reminds of a house less then a mile from us the owner remodeled the whole house it was beautiful well during the summer we heard a loud explosion ,well you know how things in the neighborhood get around..The guy was wotking on his race car when his racing fuel and what he had stored caught on fire and so did his stash blowing up the entire garage and burning up the house attatched to the garage.The fire dept threarten to let the house burn down unless he told what chemicals where stored in the garage luckily everyone in the house made it out alive except for the family dog to this very day the house is boarded up because the insurance company wouldn't cover the loss because of the racing fuel..
 
Halogen's for all the light they put on in a small package are dangerous for that reason.



I've been installing t4 Flourescent lights in the garage and am suprised at how much marring I can see and remove with them. It's almost like working under the lights at a gas station.



Granted you need more of them put the heat my halogens were putting out was enough to make me leave the garage during the summer.
 
I remember when I was living on campus a few years ago when they banned halogens from Campus Housing period.
