LED lights for garage

[ultrarunner]

Just installed 8 of these...

LUMAPRO Flat Panel Fixture, LED, 2 x 4, 3500K - G5544962 at Zoro

Use 60 Watts per fixture vs 94 Watts for T8

At over $700 per fixture it will never pay back...

On the positive side...

They are dimmable and produce less distortion and are very thin with almost zero steel.(non magnetic)

Application is over new MRI machine...

...You likely cannot use LEDs to replace the turn signals on your car. Tried it on our 1983 Benz. Turn signals wouldn't work. Actually, they worked as though the bulb was burned out, e.g. came on but very fast. There's a retrofit for this, but it involves putting a resistor in the circuit. That would defeat the reason for replacing the incandescent bulbs. The resistor would just burn off the electricity as heat. ...

Right. The older flashers depend on a resistive load and relatively high current to "flash". You can get around this by replacing your flasher with one designed for LEDs. https://www.superbrightleds.com/search/led-products/flasher turn signal/
