The company I used to work for did some Sylvania work, one job was retrofitting about 5600 two lamp 8' T12 HO fixtures to four lamp T-8 fixtures with electronic ballasts.

We lost a ton of money, it went on for months. Lucky for me I was only out there for a couple of weeks while the foreman was on vacation.

It has to be assembly line like - After a couple of months doing this you absolutely hate it though - extremely boring work.

You can have it all, I prefer to earn my living by my skills not my mindless labor. :grin:

I haven't done that type of work in quite awhile - it does suck.

I myself haven't done it in a while either, hence the reason for the inquiry. I agree with 40+ a day, or in my case night, since we retroed in office buildings. I was thinking $20 ea. including wipe-down but not including disposal or material.

For 2 years I had a crew that did all retrofit work. For the scenario in the op we'd typically get 100 - 120 a day done with 3 guys. So I guess that averages 40/day per man. One on the ground feeding 2 guys actually doing the work.
