Another 4' LED worklight thread 8 for $48

[JerryK]

I changed all my 4' fixtures over to LED two years ago using Amazon's Barrina 24w 6000K bulbs. I have 26 fixtures with two LED tubes in each, with no failures. Granted, only a boot a little less than have get used every day. But they are great. I like the bright white 6000K, good for old eyes. Just had to yank out the old ballasts and wire for the LED's. What ever you go with, the LED's point all the light downward. The florescents get dirty on top of the bulb, combine with the white of the reflector getting dirty, you loose a lot of lumens over time. No radio interference, start quickly in the winter. Life is good..... STAY SAFE When I bought them they were a boot $148, now they are down below $100.

Jeez, only $44 right now. For 8x 4000 lumen lights. And I thought my $20 apiece costco 3800 lumen LED shop lights were a bargain just a couple years ago!

I have a dozen of the Costco ones. All working great several are probably 5 years old or so. One thing about Costco is they do a great job in vetting suppliers for quality.

Why mess with 4' when you can have 8'

Bought 20 for my pole barn.

I needed a certain amount of lumens at floor level and lights being mounted 14ft high are a factor so played with this calculator to try to make educated guess as to what I needed:

Lux/Lumens Calculator: How Much Light Do You Need?

I tried Home Depot and Lowes but to get same amount of light was going to run me around $1,200 - $1,400. I used 15 of the above lights in pole barn (and 5 elsewhere) and they perform better than I expected.

They come with a plastic protective film on them. Make sure you peel that off or it won't be a bright.

Can anyone comment on the amount of radio interference that these lights produce? I have one of the Harbor Freight 4' led work lights above a workbench and it makes a lot of noise on any nearby radio. FM not so bad but AM gets enough noise to make it unlistenable. Even the car radio gets some interference.

I see that the price is now $44.62 for 8 lights.

The ones I've installed so far (~5) make virtually no FM radio interference at 30 feet. I've an FM radio that's always on ~ 30ft from the lights.

Thanks for the info. The problem now is that the price has nearly quadrupled to $185 for the 8-pack. Hopefully it will come back down.

The Cool White price increased, but if you select the Daylight option the price is $56. Amazon.com: AmazonCommercial 4' LED Shop Light, 4 Lumens, Linkable, Pull Chain, Daylight 5K, ETL and Energy Star Certified | 8-Pack: Home Improvement

Newbury,

Very nice deal! I bought 12 of them at costco for the new shop a few months ago, I needed 5 more, so this was a sweet deal..
I hope they are as nice as the ones costco sells.
Thank You for posting this up.

Yeah would love a side by side (ceiling by ceiling) comparison between these and the Costco ones.

I'd like to see a a side by side (ceiling by ceiling) comparison between new units and ones of the same brand that have been up for a few years. I'm still not convinced of longevity and loss of brilliance over time (I know I've lost quite a bit of that).
