Recommended Lighting for Paint Booth

I have purchased some lights from you guys in the past and I’ve been very happy with the service and products and would like to continue patronizing you. That being said, I’m constructing a paint booth. What kind of lighting would you recommend? I want light from overhead as well as from the sides so I have really good 365-degree lighting around every project. 

In the interim, we might recommend installing our LED strip light products on the cornices of each wall within the 45° corner mounting channels for evenly distributed output throughout the booth. That said, this advice may change depending on the dimensions provided for the installation area. 

FYI, it’s a paint booth. It’s roughly 10’ wide x 6’ deep and 8’ high. I may make it fully enclosed, but for now, and for the sake of simplicity, let’s say it has an open face. 

Based on my review of the Lumen Estimation Calculator, it appears that the 10x6x8’ area would be evenly illuminated for fine manufacturing and detail purposes with 6,038 lumens. This lumen target could be reached by using four units of our T8 LED Tube Lights or 14 ft of LED Strip Lights. 

From the photo that you provided, it appears that the paint booth has two openings for T8 fixtures. If it does, we might recommend our 5000K or 6500K NorthLux™ 95 CRI T8 LED Tube for Art & Studio products, which are calibrated for color accuracy. 

These T8 LED Tube Lights are also designed to be compatible with our newly launched LED Ready T8 LED Fixtures, which do not utilize ballasts that many retrofit fixtures use. For reference, older fixtures often utilize ballasts that are incompatible with the power requirements of LED technology.

As a secondary recommendation, one or two of the 16.4 ft (5 meters) reels of the 5000K (D50-calibrated) or 6500K (D65-calibrated) ABSOLUTE SERIES™ LED Flexible Strip could be utilized, which would be able to replicate natural daylight with a CRI of 99. 

We imagine that one or two reels could be installed upon the wall cornices of the paint booth within the 45° corner aluminum channels for even light distribution. 

We have attached a few LayoutMaps below, which illustrate the many configuration options that are possible with the aforementioned LED Strip Lights. We do hope these are useful for your installation planning.
