I have undertaken a massive project in tearing apart some of the outhouse and building a proper workshop/garage. Due to circumstances beyond my control I will end up with a pretty low ceiling height (about 205 cm or seven feet). The plan was to put up normal fluorescent tubes to a total of 6-7 units of 64 watts each but that means practical height will be even lower. I started thinking about LED tape, just put that on 3-4 thin boards and attach it on the ceiling, should not be more than an inch in decreased height. So that is now an option but that stuff seems rather expensive to buy from the regular stores where I live, does anyone have good experiences with some ebay store? Or can give me some pointers on what to look for and what to avoid? From what I read it seems you need to be careful not to mix up lumens/metre and lumens/feet and that choices are plenty when it comes to color temperature, color, adjustable colors and so on. This is just a plain workshop so cold bright white and reliable circuits is good enough.
Ebay is always a jungle when you start checking out new stuff, any tips? The room will be only 35 square metres but I want plenty of light.
