Fluorescents (EIKO lights) Replacement for Painting Studio


I have a small painting studio, about 11' x 12'. I currently have two compact fluorescents (CRAPPY CRI) EIKO lights overhead that is about 85W each. I'm looking to replace them with your excellent bulbs. I can install a T8 fixture but am not sure how many I need, or which color bulbs to get for sure. I want a balanced light so I'm thinking probably 5,000K. Maybe a mixture? Also, do I just need two bulbs? Would four be too much for this small space? 

Based on my use of the Lumen Estimation Calculator, we would likely recommend utilizing four of our 1800 lumen T8 LED Tube Lights for your studio space. We generally like to recommend the 5000K color temperature option for artwork creation as it produces a neutral, balanced white color which is great for color-critical installations

If you utilize a third-party fluorescent fixture, it might be helpful to know that older fixtures often used ballasts for power adjustment. As not all ballasts are within our compatibility list, we generally recommend rewiring the fixtures to bypass the ballasts. This process is fairly straightforward and is featured within the T8 user manual

We hope that our high CRI T8 Tube Lights are a great match for your studio!
