Do you guys have any feedback on these LED lights? Thinking of using them for my home garage?

I recently installed 2 of these in my garage and could not be happier

http://www.homedepot.com/p/Lithonia-Lighting-2-ft-White-LED-High-Bay-Light-IBH-11L-MV/203812710

I also have a big *** light which is great, but these are almost as bright for exactly 1/2 the cost.

So you have 2 of the 50w 4 footers? Also the Home Depot link you posted is $199 so not cheaper?

I have LED's at the work bench, but as a whole, they are still too expensive to start replacing my T-8's in the general garage area.

Junk.
Anytime they wont even tell you who it's made by, you know they're not very proud of it. This is made by shenzen lighting in China.
Red flags:
They tell you number, make and model of the LED's. Does this really mean anything to the average customer? No. It just gives a false sense of legitimacy.
4700k color temperature is a very odd color choice. These are diodes that failed to fall into the normal colors of either 4000k or 5000k, so they are "blem" diodes.
50 watts/4500 lumens is far below the typical efficiency of even the cheapest LED fixtures. It's actually very low efficiency.
They embellish the life rating comparisons. Fluorescent technology is typically 24,000 hours so 50,000 hours is only 2x the life of fluorescent, not 5x as claimed.
The cost is outrageous. I suppose that it's that high because of the IP65 rating, but even still, that's high.
I'm not a fan of that website. I think they sell junk and get too much money for it.
Good luck

No sorry the Lithonia-Lighting 2 foot led, the link I posted is what I have two of. I also have a big *** light (from the big *** fan company) and that one was $400. I am very happy with the Lithonia-Lighting 2 foot LED light for $199.

Why spend $125 for 4500lm when you can get a 4500lm strip light for $38? May not be as pretty, but the ~$90 difference is huge.
