LED lights for the screen room...
« on: September 24, 2014, 05:09:24 PM »
I know that a few people here were talking about converting from amber covered FL bulbs and bug lights to LED lights for their screen rooms.

We're getting ready to build the screen room in our new shop, and I'm wondering if anybody cares to give an update on how that testing has gone? 

Brand, model #, type, where to buy, all would be extremely helpful!

Thanks!

I just finished my screen room and currently have a single coiled CFL bug bulb in a clamp on worklight, but would LOVE to have better lighting.  I'm VERY interested in this topic as I haven't committed to a particular type of lighting yet.

the ones I've tried still give off a little UV, so I put clear UV sleeves on them...problem solved.
