I have a electronic repair shop where we work where lighting is helpful especially 6500k light. I have a 22ft high ceiling in the shop with about 6 fluorescent light fixtures with 2 very long bulbs i would say 6 ft in each fixture. Right now only 4 of them work.
Anyways i wanted to stop using them and switch to leds. I purchased 2 led strips 5m the latest being a 5050 300 led version which definitely looks very cool and provides a decent amount of light if close to it. I put a string about 8 ft in the air and have them tapes to it as well i have them going along the wall at about 8 ft high. I also purchased a 20 watt LED floodlight which again up close providesalot of light but i was planning on mounting them high to provide well a flood of light at our tech area.
Well with the fluorescents off there and just using the LEDs there is not enough light to keep them off. I was looking to find a way to keep them off, i was told LEDs do not spread well from a better distance.
