LED flood lights for shop.

[shackwrrr]

Looking at lighting my new 30x70 shop and going over options for lighting. Ceiling height is 12' 8" and currently has about 10 non functioning fluorescent lights. I want to go LED for power saving and simplicity. Right now I can pick up dual row 3400lm 4' fixtures at my local farm store for 34.99 a piece. Or I was considering these.

They essentially have the same LED's as the 4' fixtures but are a rectangle and rated for outdoor use. I was thinking of spacing 20 150w fixtures over the whole shop. I can get 3000watts of light for the same cost as 20 of the 4' lights which are about 60w a piece.

Has anyone used this type of light over the 4' lights? how did they work? Too bright for a 12 foot ceiling? Failure rate?

I would suggest adding other 2 fixtures and it'll be OK.

Those e-bay lights are garbage - there's a reason why they're so cheap. No diffuser, no lens, cheap generic case. The fact that they advertise the color temperature at "2800-3500" and "6000-6500" is evidence enough that they're using cheap, reject LED modules. You're going to have color variations from fixture to fixture, and they'll likely live a short, miserable life.

Avoid them.

Go with the tubes.
I have been using the FEIT shop lights as overhead work lights for a couple of years now and have had absolutely no trouble. Very even lighting and the color temperature seems just right.
American Locomotive has stated the problems with the eBay ones and I agree 100%
