Rasky's Auto Detailing
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! :eek:







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. ;)

Just so you know Greg I have my head tilted sideways trying to ready your post! :D



I think I may have researched about the CRI rating after seeing one of your post on another thread too. :xyxthumbs
 
CRI lighting huh, i'll have to check that out. but i have 8 sets of lights in my garage, so that would be about $160 in bulbs alone. plus 4 sets of 1000 watt holgens, my neighbors already think i'm weird
