OT metal halide garage lights
Sorry, this is OT, but I thought some Jeeper in the group might have
seen these or installed them in his shop or garage.
I am interested in these 175 watt lights. The lowest price I have
found (US$189 incl 175 watt bulb) is here:
http://www.griotsgarage.com/search.j...=21&search.y=5
These lights are made by RAB, model number VAN5.
http://www.rabweb.com/catalog/van1-5.pdf
Has anyone either installed or seen these lights in person?
Can you comment on their suiutability for garage/ shop use?
Any links to a better price?
Thanks.

Seen them. Not bad, but I opted for your basic fluorescent lamps.
They are easier to install, you can put in several banks, and the
bulbs are cheap.
Used three 8' long (4X4' bulb) lamps for a four car garage. More than enough
light even for paining and about 50$ total. Still need a trouble light under
the jeep. :)

Re: OT metal halide garage lights
You can buy Ts in bulk and get a better rate. Don't get the ones from
China, the powdercoating wears off quickly. I get my Ts from Tom Tuttle
in Tacoma.
Ta ta!
