Well, now I know at least one function of that yellow button... :rocker: Cheers, Jon

Greetings Platonic_Solid I've been busy / sick so apologies for the slow response to your inquiry regarding voltage and amperage of the fixtures. I wired one up to cord and plugged it in, and it worked! Woo hoo... (See attached photo, taken in a bright room with lots-o-sunlight.) Next I...

Greetings My issue of Fine Homebuilding landed this week (March 2015) and they have a great article on LED's in can lights, looking at heat issues. It's worth checking out as choosing different styles of bulbs had a much bigger impact on temps (all the bulbs at the same wattage / light output)...

Greetings Denwood I already know that I'm going to love my new lights as I don't have any lighting in the shop right now to speak of, so they're going to be a 100% improvement over darkness. You are much further along the evolutionary path, so my main hope is to give you info of a high enough...

Ha! I thought I had all of the copies of those photos... Thanks for the laugh Cybrdyke!

Modern Jess Your avatar needs a cape. Seriously. (As in super-troll-calling-powers!) Thank you for calling BS on Electric_Light. And, wow, your shop, so damn nice. How are your Cree LED's working for ya? (I was going to ask about any problems you might have had with RFI. with those...)...

Greetings all Here's the reply from customer service at EarthLED, which is hardly definitive, but supports Cybrdykes (& others) POV: Good Morning Mr. e36jon Thank you for your business, we appreciate the opportunity you have provided EarthLED. We are unaware of any issue(s) with placing...

Hey I was hoping you would weigh in. It seems easy enough to measure at the plug that connects to the driver array, if that is what you mean (Please confirm.). I'm assuming it's a DC output and that I could wire the fixture up and then measure at the plug. If you mean measuring actual RFI...

Thanks, again, Cybrdyke I went looking around the house and, as you say, lots of things I own and use are labeled as FCC A, or have a "may cause radio interference" label (CFI bulbs, and several Edison base LED's I have on hand.). Maybe you can come up with some better graphics involving...

Hey again Who are you? I see you've only posted here 6 times and just joined. Do you have a digital footprint elsewhere? I kind of doubt that EarthLED is going to be that gracious with any sort of warranty. Have you ever heard of a reseller doing such a thing? Would you please provide a...

Thanks Cybrdyke! The Triscuit Test guy caught me off guard with his comment(s). I sent a question about this issue to customer service at EarthLED and I'm sure they'll come back with the same response. (I'll report back if/when I get a response.) As a cautionary measure I'm going to limit my...

Wow, you got me on the FCC noise rating... I'll have to do some looking of my own to validate that I'm in trouble using these at home (Yes, "my garage" is at home, in a residential neighborhood.). Ditto for checking out what the 'triscuit test' is. Can't say I was expecting a spanking when I...

I should also mention that Denwoods review of the Cree 4' replacement bulb kicked this all off for me. Great in-depth discussion of all sorts of LED and LED vs. fluorescent topics in that thread: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=274462 Cheers, Jon

Hey gang. I just got my Cree LS4 fixtures and posted an un-boxing review thread here: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=4558344&posted=1#post4558344 I'll try to keep to Denwoods quality standard when it comes to taking photos of them when I get them installed. Cheers, Jon

Wow, you snuck a post in before I could even finish fully getting all my original info up! The lens is 'permanently attached' to the emitter array, so I'm afraid I can' tell you what is happening under the hood. I'm confident that I, or others on this website, could gain access to said array...

Here are a few more shots (Hit my limit on that last post.). -As has been mentioned elsewhere on this sub-forum, LED's don't have a ballast, but they do have power-supplies. Here's a pic of the guts for anyone that might know what they are looking at... -This fixture, and most of the...

Greetings all I've really appreciated all of the amazing advice here on garage lighting. I am in need of lights for my own garage and was interested in LED, but couldn't find any fixtures at Lowes / HD / Costco that had a good color rendering index (CRI), so I expanded my search and ended up...

Great thread! Thanks for posting the review. I am mid-remodel on my garage and need lights, so this was a timely read. I spent time yesterday looking for retrofit LED bulbs with a 90+ CRI, other than CREE, and couldn't find any. So, I was looking at ~$70 for two of the CREE bulbs + the cost...

I recently bought a pair to light my back yard / patio, after doing a long search for options, and was similarly impressed with the build quality. Mine are wall mounted, and I was hoping that I would be able to modify the cast mounting plates to use four screws instead of two, but the casting...
