Rural King LED shop lights

[Faster346]

Hey guys! I have been researching some lights for my new building for a whIle and came across these and figured I'd share my thoughts on them. They're a 4500 lumens light from Rural King. I hung them up earlier today and fired them up to see how they looked...man they exceeded my expectations 100% I saw these had great reviews online and out of hundreds of reviews I found nothing really negative. They're a little pricey but for what you get I don't feel they're too bad, and they go on sale a lot. So I ordered 15 of them, 12 for the shop 3 back ups to tuck away. When I got off the ladder and flipped these on it was like looking at the sun. I'm pretty sure I'm going to get a call from air traffic controls if I run these at night with my doors open. Very very happy with the light output. Anyone looking for some nice lights I'd highly recommend checking these out. Pictures don't do them justice but 12 of them in my 30x40 with 14ft ceilings is very bright. Another cool thing about them is you can link 12 together and run them all off one plug, makes things pretty nice hooking them up!

They sure make it bright. We bought some as well and are very happy with them.

I have been considering those lights but they don't have them in stock around here and the site shows them back ordered.

what's the color temp on those?

what's the color temp on those?

5000k a very clean bright white. About the furthest you can go before you start getting a blueish tint.

When I called my local store they didn't have any in stock as well, but they were able to get me some from another store a couple states away. I believe it was a store in West Virginia or something, they had hundreds of them in stock

I am looking for something like this but RK is not close to me. I did find these at Sam's

How are the Honeywell 4' led lights vs the Lights go America 4' led lights?

Sam's has a 10 pack of the Honeywells for $284. The price seems right.

No rural king by me either I had my 12 lights shipped and to be honest the shipping was not that bad, check into it.

They say they are linkable while the others don't, local Sam's stocks these.

Looks great. I had planned on 6 for my 30*32*12 for general lighting and then add task lights over the benches. You have me thinking I may need to up that number.

 

[gnab2]

For the price of 10 of them, I think that I can't go wrong.

I think that I will go with 3 rows of 5 and 2 or 3 over the workbench area.

I picked up 2 of these to replace some old florescent units that when out. I've been using these since I picked them up on black Friday. I'll buy more if they go on sale again.

 

[Micommando]

Thanks! I have been looking for a few of these for my attached garage! Nice open space you have!

Store nearest me has these:

Are they much different than the others?

IMHO those are the same as the sams club lights.

They are not linkable. Which I think has good and bad points. If you wire a plug for them to plug in it would be easier to replace a single light later when one goes bad if the ones you have are discontinued.

 

[Showkey]

If they are the same lights as Sams........the cord out the top which stops flush mount and no frost on the bulbs are both deal killers.

Linkable is also a very important ( critical) feature.

 

[tom-ky]

Why is the no frost bad? Is it glare?

Glare and hot spots.....like having 1000 led flash lights on the ceiling, they can also have a bright white color. There is good reason the better quality LED tubes are frosted.

Any thoughts on these?

I looked at them and they are lower lumens. They are 3200 instead of 4500 lumens. Price per lumens the Sam's ones are cheaper. However they may be cheaper made too. I have no experience with led shop lights. Led auto lights yes.
