I've posted before that I've a lot of fixtures to replace in my shops, about 40 eventually. Many are 8' dual bulb, single pin T12's with the ballasts slowly dying and they are on 12' ceilings. After testing T8's and T5's I was about to go with a "bunch" of 4 bulb T5 fixtures's, mainly because LED's were to expensive. But they were still going to cost ~ $80+ /fixture PLUS bulbs. BUT they were going to be BRIGHT Well, Costco had been selling a 4' LED fixture which puts out 3700 Lumens for $40 which was getting favorable reviews. And then Home Depot sold Commercial Electric 4 ft. LED Shop Light-54103161 - The Home Depot these for $25 in the Boston area (I got 5). And now Costco is going to drop their price to $32 come Jan 29th. For any of you "following" the price drop in LED's - is this going to accelerate? Will we see $10 4' fixtures?
HD online says out of stock at $39.98, but according to the website my local store had 27. I checked and none to be found, but the store inventory showed the same amount. The associate went out of his way and ultimately the two of us looking together found the unopened boxes of them 3 aisles away from where they should have been up high on the rack. The best news was they were priced at $24.97 each. I bought 3 cases of them at 4 lights to a case. He was surprised they were there as he hadn't seen them before.
