Big *** Light

[jonwrong]

Has anyone seen these lights? Seem expensive but also nice. I am building a massive garage/home right now and am trying to decide what to do. I know I want LEDs.

Yes, I have one in our shop. Great light. I wouldn't choose to use a lot of them to light a large area. Just too expensive. More economical solutions that do as good of a job.

I have them in my shop and my garage. They are terrific. I highly recommend them. They are not cheap but are worth it.

There are several threads on the forum about these.
In my opinion, they are extremely overpriced, over engineered, and, more importantly, under performing. The design has changed very little in the last few years, while the LED industry has made huge strides. This means that they haven't kept up with the advances.
Big *** makes great fans. They are trying to use the reputation that they earned by making fans (a relatively small industry) to get into the much larger lighting industry. It hasn't worked out for them.
Good luck

WAAY overpriced and you can now get better performing fixtures someplace else for less.

Waay over priced and better performing AND less expensive options out there. They have been around a bit, and bars and such often have them. Great marketing of a mediocre device...but that is the USofA for you. $$$$$ I could have paid for my whole 24x24 build with what a couple of these go for.

I made the following post is another thread but haven't gotten any feedback yet:

I need to start a thread for the house I am finally building. Poured footers this week. Anyway, I am trying to figure out some of the finishes. One thing I need is shop lights. Another big one is the right recessed lights, but I am posting in this thread for the former right now.

Below are two pics. One is the layout of the garage, and other is the permitted electrical plan, which is totally adjustable. The hobby room is really my HVACed two post lift bay measuring 23 x 31. The ceiling is vaulted from front to back and opens up to 16 feet in one place (all over 12 feet above the lift). I had to hide the garages in an otherwise normal looking home.

In the garage storage (22 x 31), the ceilings are vaulted as well and provide more than 12 feet of clearance in the center over a four post lift. Lastly, the 2-car garage is just for parking and has 10 foot ceilings. Lighting is not as big a concern there as I simply plan to park my daily drivers.

I am trying to figure out how many lights to buy, what type of lights to buy, etc. I want to spend the right money now but would like to keep things very cost effective (if both of those are possible). I would appreciate the time and help from one or all of you seasoned pros. Thanks!
