Got my light fixtures installed in the upper bay! :B
I really like the way these turned out. I painted them using Rustoleum High Performance Industrial primer and enamel. It was very cold the day I painted these, so I rigged up a drying booth under the dinette table in the camper by throwing a blanket over it and using a small heater to keep the area hot for a few hours.
I'm using a 23 watt CFL bulb in each fixture, equivalent to a 100 watt incandescent bulb. The bulbs are about $2.50 each. 100 watt equivalent LED bulbs just aren't priced low enough yet for me to consider them.
These will look better against the white sheetrock, once it's installed.
This was taken without a flash. Plenty of light for most activities. Any additional light needed will come from task lights. These do start out dim when it's cold, but warm up quickly and come to full brightness in less than a minute. We'll see how quickly they warm up tomorrow when the high is supposed to be 18 with an overnight low of 9. :E
I also installed one extra fixture near these two doors. It's connected to the photocell that controls the outside lights across the front of the garage. I'm using a much lower wattage CFL in it. That way it's never pitch dark inside the garage at night when I have to make a quick trip out to the fridge to inventory it's contents. :W Also, the entry door to the house has a stained glass panel in it, and this light provides some illumination for it when viewed from inside.
