What a deal!

Was browsing local hardware/lumberyard the other day and came across a 'shop light' from this company http://www.greenliteusa.com/. 48" LED strip shoplight, 2700 lumens, 4000K color temp, 23 watts. Five foot cord and even a little on/off rocker switch. Non-linkable and can't be hard-wired, but otherwise very high quality and nice even light. I compared it to some Lithonia strips I have in my basement and could not tell the difference in light intensity or color (Lithonias may have been a touch brighter).

Not to gloat, because the light is a really nice fixture even at a "reasonable" average price for an LED strip, but these were $4.99 each. Yes, you read it right, just a hair over five bucks with tax. I bought ten of them and probably would have bought more if I needed more. You cannot manufacture this product for five bucks, so the State must be pre-paying an efficiency rebate to the store. I am stoked because I have been tossing various schemes around in my head for lighting my shop and this made it easy. For the price, they are less than a two-pack of T8's at Homey D.

They sell them in my local Ace Hardware store, well some of them. I got 2 and so far so good. I would prefer a pull chain instead of the rocker on the fixture itself but for $5, it'll work. I think i was in Ocean State job lot and they had similar lights but double bulbs & pull chain for like $10. I didnt get those since i've switched most of the lights to LED's already.

Good price. For me, most of the "4000K" LED 4' bulbs I've tried are too orange for my taste. Not sure why, when something like a 3500K BR-30 is perfectly fine.
