I picked up 4 of these lights the other day for my shop. $29.97 ea but only in store. Online they only sell the 2-pack and that is $99.97, figure that out.
1 foot wide, 4 foot long. Plenty bright and only 1 inch thick.

Wonder if this is the light, I have hanging in my kitchen over the desk/junk area ( LED flat panel ? ). It would be neat if you posted some details as to which light it is your are referencing, the posted pic is not showing up.

Any pics installed?
Not yet. Project is in the works, but I'm not ready to install them. They will be installed on a white metal panel ceiling. This part of the renovation is waiting for cooler weather as the drop ceiling that is currently there has to be removed and with it all insulation.
With 90+ temperatures I'll hold off. The display at Costco has one lit up and it is a nice color/temp that isn't blue or too yellow.

That is the exact fixture I installed, the first one lasted a couple weeks, second one lasted a couple weeks, 3rd one has been " on " for over a year. We used to turn the light on and off constantly, so after the first 2 died, told the family, we are leaving this on 24/7/365, and seems to be ok now. Did I get 2 duds, or do they not like thermal cycling ? I dunno know...

They take them back with no questions... so

yes I have about 10 of them , 2 installed, few waiting to be installed, due to well the crazy woods. but anyways it's great lights.. although I paid $50 for each 2 years ago... $30 is great deal, it was @$39.99 last time I checked 4 weeks ago.

only thing I don't like or maybe it is me or my ceiling not truely flat. installation is simple straight forward, but hooking that light to the bracket took me some time. and consider PITA in my book...

Artika makes great lights, they have other designer and futuristic lights lights but not every costco carries them, they do sell on amazon etc.

I think I saw this on one of the costco in CT last year or so, they have a bit more selections than the local costcos near me.


Their website have some nice unique designs. too bad I have not even an once of creative blood.

Going back for 2 more tomorrow. After considering workbench space I'm going to expand the range. I can always use the dimmer if it is too much.

Even though it says works with dimmer, but it's not a true 0-10v dimmer type light... it's the other triac type dimmer type.. so.... it might kill the driver in some cheaper electronics... just saying... I only have the Feit brand fixture killed once so far and that took 3 years... Not sure if this one will or will not. Some food for thought.

I found an item on Amazon the other day. $18 for quantity 1. 6 pack for $120 ???
I see items like that all the time. Especially when I order supplies for my work through the corporate sites. I suppose the companies think the people ordering are not using their own money and bulk "should" be cheaper, so they don't look that closely.

We use a lot of those rolls of clear "Scotch tape" . I ordered some last week. I don't recall the price difference, but it was cheaper to order the 10 pack rolls that came with a dispenser on a per roll basis than just to order just the replacement rolls in bulk. So now we have more dispensers, but they were better than free.
