We went with LED lighting. Bright lights and no need to worry about glass bulbs.
CDL 2.5*8 Venturi with all the bells
Leader Clear 5 bank filter press
Memprotec 350H RO
600ish taps and looking for more.
I did led as well. I got 6 ft long LEDs from home Depot for $30 a piece. 6 of them I'm my 24x12 sugar House lights it up like a surgery room. Moisture resistant and low energy consumption. Can't beat it.

Mine are older, I went with "energy efficient Florescent" at 64 watts/2 bulbs, I have 6(x64watts) units When I update, it will be LED, far more efficient. LED can do it at a small fraction of that and they won't need to warm up to get to full bright.
Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.
I went with FlexLED, they are three panel led panels that screw into a standard light socket. One 100w will easily light up a HUGE amount of area. They are awesome

Ordered LED from Amazon. They are a replica of the 4 foot shop light, dual bulb. They are cheap, link together using a standard 110v plug, and draw pretty much nothing for power. That is what sold me since I will be running the sugarhouse on a suitcase generator

I have 4 of these in my 16x24 shack, mounted 10 ft from floors. I feel like it is very well lit and they use very little energy. I wanted at least 4 lights so there could be two rows of lights, I hate lights mounted just in the center of a room. Not only do the corners not get lit, but you are always trying to work in your own shadow.
