Barrina 8FT LED Shop Lights, 72W 10000LM 5000K, Daylight White, V Shape, Clear Cover, Hight Output, Linkable, T8 LED Tube Lights for Garage 8 Foot with Plug, 4 Packs

I never write reviews, but this product deserves one! After doing a lot of research, it seemed this brand was the highest rated and liked. I just wanted bright lights without breaking the bank, so I bought these. I used 9 out of the 10 lights provided; the ones I bought were the 10 pack of 8FT 72W 10000LM 5000K. I ran 3 rows of 3 8Ft LEDs in a 22FT x 34FT garage. My first impression was that I was blown away with how bright they are! But I wondered how long they would last? Well, it's been over 2 years, and they are as good as the day they were installed. All the LEDs work with no fade or burnout, and there's no discoloration on the case or lens.Work in extreme cold and hot temperatures.Here are my pros and cons:Pros: Very bright, reliable, cheap, easy to install.Cons: Slight fast flickering when the 80-gallon two-stage 240v single-phase compressor kicks on, barely noticeable but annoying, easy to live with. Also noticed they flicker on high draw; this is particularly noticeable in summer when the A/C kicks on. They're not on the same circuit but the same bus. The mounting clips provided that hold and support the light work well; however, when you turn the lights on for a few minutes, you hear clicks and pops, not super noticeable, but the noise is there and goes away after a while due to heat contraction, my guess.I like things neat and clean, so I bought additional 1/2" NPT Cable Glands, 16/3 SJTW extension cords, 1 Gang Box junction boxes, and cable clips to mount on the ceiling. I'll sure this as others like my self might be interested in a cleaner installation.

I HATE a dark shop so I may have overcompensated a bit with these but .... wow - they do put out the light!I have a 900 sqft shop that I bought the 10, 8' light package to light. The arrangement on the ceiling was evenly spaced, 4 rows of 3 lights spaced 80" apart (yes, I am 2 lights short - will order them soon).The shop currently has dark surfaced wood and no real reflective values for the ambient light - the room pretty much absorbs the light without bouncing it around.Even with poor reflection -the shop absolutely radiates light! I am 2 8 footers short and it is still amazing!My only complaint is that IF you look directly at them, you will have a similar effect to looking directly at the sun (temporary tattooing of the light picture to your vision). There are no diffusers incorporated into this design and with the higher output lights and lower ceilings (my shop) it makes it easy to see them in your periphery and get this effect. I doubt higher ceilings will have this issue and to be clear - I DON'T REALLY SEE THIS AS A PROBLEM. To be fair - I DID buy a really bright 6500 series light.And I still love them.Install was a breeze - you may consider adding a bit more bend the clips to give them a little more grip but there are plenty of them so this will likely not be an issue. I ran mine across 4' centered ceiling rafters - a closer spacing would provide a lot more security FYI.Shipping - I believe the risk of OOPS or FEDAX damaging the longer lights in transit is a bit more likely than the shorter ones (mine arrived with slight damage but not unusable). I preferred longer lights believing they are easier to install over longer distances and have a smoother look to them when completed. Chalk-lines on ceilings make it a snap - (lol...sorry, construction joke).Price paid for amount of light received - I am very happy!Quality - appears good and no issues with anythingEase and time of install - If you are running new outlets that takes significant time. The actual mounting and plugging them in takes no time at all.... I used a snap line/chalk line and marked my light placement by myself - a laser indicator would do the same thing. Follow the line and find your stud/rafter/joists and screw in the brackets. THE MORE PRECISELY THE BRACKETS ARE ALIGNED THE EASIER THE INSTALL WILL GO SO DON'T PLAN ON EYEBALLING THIS INSTALL.... simply line the fixture up with the brackets and insert a corner, then rock the other corner in. The screws included may not be long enough for a garage ceiling install (typically thicker sheetrock per code), but are probably adequate for most installs.I LIKE THEM!

Major garage lighting upgrade!I have 10 of these in my 2 car garage and its brighter than most bodyshops. No audible hum at all and no flickering. Hardwiring was a breeze but the pre made hardwire sections could be longer.They seem sturdy and you get a ton for the price.The are very lightweight less than a pound per unit and can easily be installed with one person.

Installed the lights and installation is very straightforward and all items needed were included. Very pleased with the light output and has really brightened up my garage. The pricing for these bundles are very reasonable.
