Besides being inefficient, the light provided from these lamps is dim with inconsistencies in color. Overtime, the fixture's ballast begins to make a buzzing sound with the flickering of lamps. Reduce your energy consumption and make your lighting system more efficient by upgrading to LED shop lights.
