My Cooper troffer installed in the basement area.
I actually installed this long ago, but I never posted a picture. Before it was just a simple two-lamper incandescent fixture, I needed more light.

But this is the scene view. I got streetlights scattered around but I thought I would show this. xD

Nice! BTW, if you stained some wood planks and added them around the perimeter of the fixture (to hide the normall-recessed parts of the fixture) it would match the stained wood window sills nicely and look great. Looks cool as-is too. I have my Lithonia 3X F32T8/IS 2X4 parabolic troffer suspended in my laundry room. I tied some 10AWG wire to the ends of the fixture and suspended it and it looks nice. I honestly think Cooper/Metalux fixtures are better built than Lithonias when it comes to newer fixtures (2000-present). Lithonia has taken a tanker in the past decade-in-a-half. Neutral They kept using decent ballasts until recently, now everything is AccuPro crap. My troffer has a Sylvania Quicktronic ballast with 3500K GE lamps. It's got it's original lamps from 2006, which still work after being used 8 years on IS! Shocked

Was never a fan of the 2-lamp 2'x4' troffers, 3-lamp is a bit better, but 4-lamp is the best LOL
I've got a half-dozen of them (multiple different styles/brands) sitting unused along the garage wall Laughing

I like the three lamp ones best. That way they can be wired to two circuits, the middle lamp on one ciruit and the outer lamps on a second. This creates a "3-way" fluorescent fixture. Very Happy Of course you will need two ballasts though (and two switches!). I have a Lithonia 2X4 18-cell parabolic troffer that's 3X F32T8 with an IS octron ballast (Sylvania) from 2006 with its original 2006 GE 3500K SPX35 32W T8s in my laundry room. I have it suspended by cable lol. It's a little flimsy compared to my other fixtures, which are typically a generation older is not more. But overall a decent light, though the parabolic crate is pretty fragile.

This is a three lamper that I got from the re-store. It's a nice one. It lights up this room pretty well. I hope that I would get a 4 lamper, but the 3 uses less electricity, so yeah. xD
