I just bought 2 cooper 48 inch 2 bulb 40 watt commercial shop fixtures.
My comment is: WATCH OUT
Just taking them out of the box I received several cuts on my hands one of them was a very nasty slice as if by a razor blade.
I am really upset by this.How is a person supposed to mount these things and then make the electrical connections without wearing gloves or winding up in the emergency room if you dont wear gloves. Or what about the poor sap who in the future opens the fixture.Would it cost 50 cents more to deburr the metal stampings at the factory?
I cant believe the product quality.
