Feit is a total garbage company. The Costco/Feit shop lights seem to be the anomaly in that they seem very reliable, even if they aren't that great a light.

You have fallen for all their marketing **** and peer pressure from others that have fallen for the ****. The fact that you focus on Amazon and Youtube indicates that you just don't get it. Lots of useless **** on both. They will always fool the majority while a small minority will be capable...

I have used some strip led on the top of led converted fluorescents but they were mounted a couple feet below foil covered insulation. With 12’ ceilings you probably can get even lighting without wasting light by using white ceilings to spread it around.

I used a bunch of the P2035, which is about the equivalent printer a few years before. Specs say 500w printing and it would cause problems run through the typical 850VA UPS I would use on a single office computer. The M401 was the first HP printer I started to dislike. Of course the smaller MFP...

Freakin Millennials. A stupid video with sound when 20 words of text would have covered it.

I've been an HP dealer for 25 years or so. I would disagree with the comment about newer lasers drawing less power. The original small lasers were built very heavy duty. We have seen general business units move to lighter duty, throw away units. There has also been a lot of very light units...

If you want a light or two to hang over a bench or a tool and has a pull chain for extra TASK lighting the Costco Feits are about the best of the cheap **** LED lights. If you are lighting a shop, taking about buying a bunch, surface mounting, wiring in correctly, etc THEN read Platonic Solids...

Higher humidity actually makes the air moving across the cooling fins cool a bit better. The denser air can absorb more heat. It is just the opposite of a person trying to get cool by evaporation. The higher humidity does create more of a problem with water condensing in the tank and lines...

Bosch Bulldog is specifically made to be a long drill for convenience in certain jobs. It isn't made to be compact for confined places. It isn't a general purpose drill but fits most uses well. That is why we have Bulldogs and 11236VS drills and choose the appropriate drill. If you have to have...

I find the 2700mm/106" one a bit limiting for ripping sheet goods. Angles get to be tough. I use the 3000mm/118" and that seems to be the general preference. I have a new 118" that is not needed that I would sell for $300 and no tax if someone is in my area, Inland Empire of SoCal. It was...

Yep, they are selling that they will last forever. The company won’t even exist when you figure out you got screwed. And you guys are responding to a thread that is 11 years old!

Depending on what bulbs you are using the "bulbs" could last 4-8 times as long. That means they might cost a bit more or a bit less in actual cost. Then you are saving electricity also, which can be a big deal depending on your rates. Standard F96 T-12 are 75w and saver bulbs are 60w or 65w...

A wider angle would be a disadvantage for you with the height of your fixtures, the layout, and not having reflectors on the fixtures. You can see on one of my parts rack rows how I need wide light distribution. That is just one building and row E out of rows A-S. So LED could save me a lot of...

Soft start is typically part of a speed control system so is rare to be included without speed control and likely not something you add to a tool with a universal motor. If you are talking about a table saw with an Induction Motor, that is just not happening at all as the systems are...

Do yourself a big favor when trimming palm fronds and buy a high quality Japanese hedge shear. One whack and done. Here is what I use on anything up to full size Washitonia: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009XAHKG/?tag=atomicindus08-20

Great info guys. I think the only way that they are going to have a legitimate 200* or more beam angle is by having two rows of emitters at 90* or more from each other. If they show a picture of a clear lens version you can tell if that is true. Carson Lighting did show an actual lamp with 3...

How high are your fixtures and are they bare strips or have reflectors? I'm skeptical about their spec sheet showing 270* beam spread. A single row of LED emitters is usually speced at 120*. The 36watt single row are a bit glarey at 12'. I do have some at 10' but they are old fixtures with a...

Many High bay fixtures say 2' clearance to the ceiling, which is usually not a problem since most industrial buildings don't have a finished drywall or OSB ceiling. Some are selling surface mount kits but if they are making that much heat then how is it going to cool? That fixture linked by PS...

Feit is terrible quality and nonexistent on warranty. The Costco Feits have gone through several changes and seem to be much more reliable that most of the other Feit products. Costco does the warranty and forces it in Feit. Most people who have bought significant amounts of LED will have a...

Don't even consider that Feit **** from Costco, even if those are fairly decent for cheap **** TASK lighting. You can buy a few for additional lighting over a workbench as they were meant to be used. As silly as it is to use the Costco Feits in quantity for General Lighting, the higher they are...
