I'm setting up shop lighting now.
Debating using shoplights vs strip lighting - with T8 bulbs in either case. Seems like the strip lights would spread out the light over a greater area, and fixtures look more substantial. Shop lights a little easier to install and no "lost light" to the ceiling. Your opinions welcome.
BTW, bought 2 "shop light" fixtures to try out a few locations - instructions said to install bulbs and plug in before mounting - and return to store if it didn't work. Lo and behold, it didn't work - nothing like doing the QC yourself!
