Hello Everyone!
First time user and a newb to LED lighting.
Here is my dilemma.
I run a weaving factory and my business operates 24/7.
Hoping to save on energy and cost, I would like to replace lighting in the premises.
Current fixture holds two (2) x 32W fluorescent T8 tube.
Fixture is approximately 2 meters high from work station and machinery.
So far I tested out 28W and 18W LED T8 tube with frosted cover.
Replacement was okay and 28W tube performed excellent.
I am also satisfied with 18W tube brightness.
Now my questions are: (1)replace both slots with two lower W LED tube vs just one 28W or higher? Any other suggestions? (2)pros and cons for frosted and transparent cover in a textile warehouse? (3)how to maintaining maximum life span and heat control for operating LED lighting 24/7? (4)replace tube only and modify current fixture vs new T5 LED tube integrated with own fixture?
Here is the order of my consideration: (1)ease of replacement (2)lowest wattage with highest life span (3)cost factor.
Your experienced and professional comments will be very appreciated.
Thank you.
