Marquee lighting -- how bright of a light do I need?
Ken Layton:
If you are happy with it then you should keep it. In my opinion though it's overkill.
Sylentwulf:
If it looks good, keep it, why not.
The only other concern would be cooking the marquee/artwork by exposing it to too much light.
SideShow Rob:
Hi Guys...
Going slightly off topic...how far away do you guys mount the light from the marquee?
Ken Layton:
In commercial arcade games the fluorescent tube itself is anywhere from 3" to 6" away from the artwork.

Actually... I took another look on the box for my florescent light. It says "Energy used: 33 watts" Could that be different than "Energy produced: " ? I think I remember seeing in another thread somebody saying that the Energy Produced was less than the Energy used?
...or is my light in fact "33 watts"? It does say 725 lumens though. How does this compare to other lights?
