What LED lights to replace these two dinosaurs?

[FTG-05]

Got these flor fixtures years off of CL years ago. On the 4' fixture, two of the lights have died, don't know if it's bulbs or the ballast - and I don't really care. I'm slowly getting rid of flor fixtures in my shop.

These two lights overlook and are angled towards my steel welding table and I want the replacement lights to be really bright. In the one pic, you can see one of the 15 4500/5000 lumen SC/Honeywell shop lights I have hanging in my shop, so it needs to be something a little brighter IMO. Chain hung won't really work here either.

The bottom of the rafters are 14', so these are in the 12' range +/-.

I look forward to your suggestions. Thanks!

In a working garage environment I wouldn't put anything under 8000 lumens at 12ft. Get one of the GreenTek 110W 16400 lumen fixtures (link). When you fall in love with it, find a new lower ceiling height home for the Honeywells and fill your shop with the GreenTeks.

Can those be solid mounted vs. the hanging chains?

The GreenTek doesn't have a surface mounting bracket option, but the holes are there. If you wanted to convert the GreenTek to surface mount you will need to install rivnuts in the 4 corner housing holes and find suitable brackets (or make your own). I'm 90% sure the DivaLite (link) brackets from Beeslighting will fit.

GJ member Foozle found the Aleo bracket fits the Alphalite (link) fixture. All these fixtures are the same size.

OK, I should be able to find a way. Ordered one, I'll see how I like it.

Thanks!

Ordered it on 7/10.

Delivered on 7/13.

Installed it the next day.

The bad news:

- I fully expect the "instruction manual" to end up on the Guinness Book of World Records as the smallest printed instruction manual ever delivered with a product. Holy **** was that printed **** small! Fortunately, it was easy to decipher the black/white/green wires from the two 10v dimming circuits; hence the "instruction manual" was pretty much useless. Thank god!

- Installing it one handed was a bit of a challenge, especially with sweaty arms/hands/legs/forehead, but eventually I managed.

The unit came with very robust chain hanging hardware, kudos to them. However, I needed mine to be installed flush mounted. No problemo, I made a couple brackets out of 4"x AL and bolted them up.

- Except the forking blind nuts were not, wait for it, USA threads! FML! 1/4-20 fit perfect but wouldn't thread. Fortunately I found some "7" 10mm metric Commie-POS threaded bolts that would work; five to be exact (four to use for this installation, one to match up when (not if) I buy more of these lights).

Enough whining and bitching. The light worked perfectly, lit up my welding table just like I wanted it to; made the dino lights look like ****-is-nozo.

I'll be ordering more of these PT-approved highbay lights in the future to replace my 400 watt MID/MHD/MOD/WTF they're called lights; except I'll probably get the 165 watt version vs these 110 version.

And finally, yes I need to get more pics:
