My hobby/work shop is 24x48, I have been using old 4 bulb 48" flourescent light fixtures hanging from the metal rafters ( 4 of these are used )
for lighting the shop, they were free so I installed them and they seem to work ok in the summer but hard to start in the winter, I have a wood stove for heat but don't run it all the time so I need some efficient lighting to suppliment the flourescents until the
stove can bring up the temperature.
I want the best bang for the buck, I don't care about looks or anything and can hang
them anywhere. Incandesents or Halogen would work great but need something that
is cheap on the electric bill, I have CFLs in my house but don't know if they will work
in cold temps, so I am looking for sugguestions.
