I think your shop has been invaded by midgets

Nice! Does that (very nice) Bronco have an AM radio? I was thinking about putting those lights in my hangar, but I've heard that they make a lot of RF noise, and I like listening to the local air band traffic. If you get the chance and have the means, could you please report on the noise level on an AM radio?

Thanks!

They also sell a 2pk of T8 conversion LEDs for $19.98 (at my local Sams).

edit... not great reviews and no experience with them, just wanted to toss out what I saw in my local store the other day.

IDK man.

Seems like they create a lot of shadows.

Had the old ones in my garage. So much better than the old lights.

Probably have a dozen of those installed now, and they rock.

That's is surprisingly inexpensive

I got mine from Lowes, $40 bucks,but what a difference .Going to get another one after i enclose the deck this spring.

Costco had a screaming deal on 2pks earlier in the year. Not a member but only 10% more than member cost online.
REALLY lit up my shop. And garage. And basement. And hayloft. And....

I just got 8 sets for my basement from Menards. I think they were $21 a set with the 11% off and on sale.

Fellow Bronco owner here!!!! Mine is covered like that right now too!!!

Those look great OP. I'll have to look into getting some.

did HD drop-in bulbs...great

Posted: 12/21/2016 8:31:44 AM EDT

I have been looking at these for sometime now. This is the first pic I have seen of them being used. Looks like my next trip I will pick 2 or 3 up.

Looks great.

Nice lights! I'm torn between these or cheap 4' T12 fixtures, removing the ballasts and using LED retrofit tubes. Can get more lumens that way for the same price.

Posted: 12/21/2016 9:06:31 AM EDT

I'm confused. Are you changing out the fixtures for something different, or getting LED bulbs that fit the fluorescent fixtures. Those LED bulbs are $6-15 all over the internet...are yours just really good?

Posted: 12/21/2016 10:30:15 AM EDT

OP

If you have any with the old a19 (I think that's what they call them) porcelain base take a look at some corn cob LED bulbs. The price is coming down and they throw off a ton of light.

Here is one that uses 30w and is the equivalent of 100-150 metal hallide bulb.

Attached File

Going to paint the garage next week and install a total of 2-3 bulbs

They are pricier ~65.00 but the fixture is 2.00

I'm jealous of your shop. And the LEDs.

I have some of those old, huge tube lights in my garage. I really need to replace them with LEDs. Maybe a project for next summer.

I was at Costco last night and they still had some for $20. Grabbed a couple more. But it looked like the last pallet, and they are bringing in new (useless) motion-detection versions back at the full price of $40.

Those $20 Costco 4' LED lights are great!
I hung one over my reloading bench in my garage and it puts out plenty of light!

I put two of those HW/SC LED shop lights in my garage: Night and day difference. I also have one over my gunsmithing/reloading table, big difference over the flor that used to be there.

We put 4 3000 lumen 5000 K retrofit tubes in our kitchen
