Daylight fluorescents by Savage Paper
Posted by Kurt Schultz on August 2, 2005 at 12:32 amJust downloaded the new catalog from Savagepaper.com and they have a whole range of inexpensive lights on page 2 – under 400 and they include the bulbs. But there are no specs listed.

August 5, 2005 at 6:42 pmAccording to their literature, the photometric specifications aren’t posted as definitive information due to the fact that the bulbs are subject to change.
On a related note, they actually used a blueprint that I designed for both my own lights and at least one other reseller. They are good quality, reliable and reasonably priced, but they don

Sorry for the delay in a reply. It’s been a mess around here. If you search back about a month or so ago, you can find the official photometric data at the time of approval of the final design. It’s different depending upon the lamps chosen, but if you use the lamps that are sent out with it, the data is still accurate.
As far as the design, our lights are not like the Savage lights, but clearly the premise is similar. With the inclusion of E-26 bulbs the cost comes down exponentially and the flexibility for the “common man” is less costly making expansion realistic and affordable. I started my lights with a 4 bulb head that uses a unique bulb mounting scheme that amplifies the light and maximizes the actual fluorescent tube face. By mounting them in this way, we create a slightly brighter fixture with better long term continuity over a given period when compared to the
