Opinions on ebay light fixture

[Bill_b]

Hello

Just wondering if anyone has experience with these lights from eBay.

I'm looking for budget lighting options for my 2 car garage.

Thanks!

You will get plenty of negative comments regarding the Chinese imports, particularly when the Ebay advertisements are rife full of misspellings and editorial mistakes. As advertised, they are 2600 lumens per 18 Watt fixture, which is 144 lumens per Watt. I'm no lighting expert, but that seems pretty generous.

The good news is that they'll probably work within your budget.
I think there are a few guys on here who have used them. I'm not one of them.
The real question is "are they good enough for you"?
As long as you keep your expectations low, and are just looking for "some light", it might turn out OK. As for comparison to real lighting products, these are the lowest of the low.
There are so many red flags in that ebay ad....beginning with the fact that they are only $9.35 on ebay.
Good luck,
CD

I have had 12 of those installed for probably two years.

For the most part 10 of them have been running continuously and no failures.

Ignore the lighting snobs and enjoy low cost quality LED lighting in your shop.

Yes these are real lights and if you dig a little deeper they can be had for <$8 each.

Just bought another box of 20 6000k 20w ones for $119 For that price I cant complain, I have a few that are running on 1 year being powered up 8 hours a day at my work with only 1 being bad and that was out of the box and he sent another at no charge and didnt want the old one back.
