Rural King has two 4' LED shop lights for $20 each. They offer free shipping for orders over $100. They look like a good alternative to the Feit lights from Costco that are back at $30 each now.

Nice. Thanks

Be advised: BOTH of those are listed on their site as "closeout/blowout items".... FWIW.

I have these lights in my shop and my review can be found on their site

Dang, wish I would have known this a couple weeks ago when I got the Feit ones from Costco.

Wow, the 3000 lumen one has sold out already.

The only thing holding me back is that I want a flush mounted fixture, not a shop light. Anyhow, are these linkable?

I'm wanting something brighter. I'd like to replace my 4ft fluorescent lights. What I'm looking for is more efficient and at least as bright. It doesn't do me much good if I can't see.

Have you looked at the LED replacement bulbs? I did that with a few of my shop lights helped quite a bit. Bulbs are around $10 a piece and your ballast has to be...Fast?? Can't remember if that's 100% correct. These ones I bought fried the Walmart cheap florescent fixtures I had. But the better fixtures had no problem at all.

I was looking at those yesterday. Most of the fixtures I have are at least 10 years old and they were cheap then. I'm thinking I would probably be better off just changing the fixture as well.

Do not want, will not buy. Crappy LED light efficiency.

3200/40 = 80 lumens per watt, dismal.

I won't buy any LED light with less than 100 lumens/watt. The Honeywell/Sams Club shop lights are now $30 each in a two pack deal. They are 4500 lumens at 42 watts (107 l/w). I have four of them, will buy more.

Does anyone know hwy some are saying not to buy LED's unless they have a frosted tube over them not clear?

All the reviews on the Honeywell lights are fantastic.

 

[unslow1]

It really changes the way they look. I bought both types yesterday and the one that isn't covered has a very harsh light to it. I think like a camera flash would best describe it.

I purchased a Sams Club light for my garage a couple months ago and installed it (RV side 16' walls) and was impressed. Bought Costco lights and compared one and was disappointed in the color and output. They are still in the box. In Sams this week I saw the new fixtures are ten fixture linkable. The linkable feature is why I bought 15 from Costco (and the sale price). Are the Sams Club lights that are selling online @ 2 for $57.33 linkable? I didn't see it listed as a feature.
PS inside the store they were discounting the non-linkable fixtures for $25ea.

Thx!

it's almost like don't look directly at the LEDs unless you want to be blinded for a few seconds feel. With the frosted cover it's not as harsh. if you don't look up you're good. the light is quite bright.

What is the lumens per watt of a comparable 4' two tube fluorescent shop light fixture?

The kind that Costco was selling for $9.99 each more than 25 years ago. "Lifeline" was the brand name. I bought several. They take 40 watt two pin fluorescent tubes that cost as little as $1.00 each when purchased in a bulk box on sale.

I'm curious, as far as luminosity is concerned, how "bright" these typical fluorescent tubes are compared to the new LED counterparts, and, per the idea in the earlier post... how much that brightness costs per watt consumed?

T12 fluorescent tubes 4'

General Electric: 2900 lumens / 40 watts = 72.5 lumens per watt
Phillips: 2325 lumens / 40 watts = 58.1 lumens per watt

darn it, I don't have the money right now,
But they offer free shipping too.
Don't have a Card, or a store close.
You don't need a membership to order online do you?
So these are pretty nice then?

EDIT,
Is this a sale price, or pretty well regular price, that will be around for a while?

I'm just getting into the LED T* lights. I think I read somewhere when the light color temp gets above 4000K is kind of harsh on the eyes. Any truth to that?

It's really to each their own. Some people like very high color temps, others don't. Personally I like to stay around 4000-4500k max. Daylight bulbs and higher color temps look waaaaay too blue for me. And in the house, I like 2800-3500K.

 

[openwheelracing88]

If I wanted to work under daylight, I would just turn off switch, go to bed and wake up early next morning. That said, I am very happy with 7 4000K shoplights in my garage. Very bright but not too harsh especially at the transition between garage and living spaces where warm white is utilized.

I just bought one nad hung it over my bench. It is a really nice light. I just can not find anything like these with a frosted lens?

How are people hanging these? I have 3 FL fixtures and they are flush mount. I dont think I can Flush mount these LED's?

Im looking at buying 8 to 10 for my garage.

I have finally bit the LED bug. They say once you go black, you never go back. Well, I don't know about that, but I can confirm that ONCE YOU GO BRIGHT, NUTTIN ELSE SEEMS RIGHT.

Dang, what a welcome difference!

I bought the IP67 sealed outdoor exposure fixtures for winter worklights outside, and the LED replacement bulbs for all my existing fluorescent fixtures inside. All purchased at Costco last month when Costco was running a $10 sale on the outdoor models and then later, a $5 off sale on replacement bulbs. I stocked up once I put LEDs in one fixture, while leaving fluorescents in the adjacent fixture so that the light could be compared side by side.

It isn't just the brightness... It is the QUALITY of the LED light that is far more appealing. Some folks describe it as a function of color temperature (Kelvin), others describe it as a function of Color Rendering Index (CRI). I couldn't tell you which measurement is responsible for the more favorable light quality, but seeing is believing, and now I have two cases of 4 foot fluorescent tubes that I no longer need or know what to do with.

Rural King?

I refuse to darken their door way unless they let me buy one of their $1200 72" tool box combos.....

....well, that. and I like the free popcorn.

Dammit I wish they had a store closer to me than Niles up here in West Michigan.
