Stadium Lights
« Reply #-1 on: October 09, 2014, 05:01:20 PM »
Had to replace my "stadium lights which were 8 years old.
Still used halogen, LED although getting cheaper were not yet cost effective.
These were about $30 / fixture .
Light up my whole cooking deck.
Really extend the cooking time as days get shorter & so much easier than flashlight!

Very Nice!   I am doing the same thing although I need to add another once.   Some of the cookers are in the shadows now :)

Guess it would depend on how much they cost to operate.

I've used compact florescent flood lights for years.  Not because I'm a global warming believer - because I'm not.  But they are cheap to operate and they last for years and years and years.  In fact, I keep the two over front steps on 24/7.

But, you got a much brighter setup!

At this point if going for full night lighting LED is the way to go.
For an hour or two 2-3 times a week halogen is still the better idea.

We installed LED's at all the new schools and now they have these things called "drivers" that go out and we are having a hard time finding them. From what the electrician tells me a driver is equivalent to a ballast.

Of all the things I've gotten to extend the cooking time on my uncovered deck

1) 12 ft umbrella
2) 3 fans
3) propane 35000 btu heater
4) lights
The lights have been the best investment!
On the other hand I have less in all 4 than most cookers cost ::)
