LED 4' shop lights

[henrysgarage]

I am looking at these lights for my 20X30 shop with them installed in the first 20' with 4 on each side, approx 5' off the walls. I was told to be thoughtful of the colour of light that they give but have no clue as to what colour they give. Here is the Amazon page, what do you think?

Efficiency could be better. If you go this route, opt for the frosted lens version (link). What's your intended mounting height?

Per Amazon, you can purchase in either 4000K or 5000K CCT. It makes no functional difference which you choose.

5000K (link)

The description gives them at 4000k color temperature. I have 5000k color and I like mine. But I bought mine from Costco and I tried one on for size.

First impression is "ugh" - I'd buy no more than one and try it first. Unfrosted = glare and 4000K sometimes come across as "orange" depending on the LEDs used. I prefer no less than 5000 and only buy 6500K currently. 3500~4000 is for the kitchen.

I grow less and less fond of Hyperikon every day. They just do ****** things as a company that pinch my pickle. In this case, they list their 4000k fixture as "daylight glow". This is an obviously misleading name to fool the unwary customer into thinking that this is the "daylight" color that alot of users are told that they should look for. Industry wide, 5000k has been adopted as "daylight" color. Alot of folks that buy these fixtures in 4000k "daylight glow" are going to be disappointed when they get them installed.
Folks.... never, ever, ever look at the words that describe the lamp's color! Always use the Kelvin number (K) to compare colors...and this is an example of the exact reason why. Crappy companies trying to dupe you.
We all see differently, so things appear differently to each of us. But most people would say that 4000k is as white as white can be. It is the most popular color sold in the USA. 5000k starts getting into the blue range and is really popular with folks who work in shops and factories.
