Since I was in construction back in the day and having put up many acoustical ceilings I decided to do a "drop ceiling" in my shop using 2/4 grid and tile and therefore used the lights. (and insulated, labor was cheap)!
....for a spell it appeared the "starters" were not lasting to long, even the new replacements I bought. So, I called Phillips lighting and as a customer accomodation they sent me an box of 12 at no charge. I think I've only used 3 of them in years and the bulbs I bought a contractor box. Still using them after all these years.
....it makes a difference in what color walls/floor you have and what type bulb you use....as in daylight or cool white ect.
I played around with a couple types to choose mine. | | |
