Shop lighting - any recommendations?

Well, I just ordered some LED lights of amazon. 8' ten pack Around $150. Think these should do the trick. I'll post pics after I get them installed.

Led replacement bulbs from Costco worked great for me
Also the Walmart $20 light is good

These were all four foot, four lamp fluorescent troffers that I converted to LED. My theory is you can't have too much light. In fact, this design is for 75 lumens/ft2 and I wish I had gone with more.

What made you switch out the flourescents to LEDs?

Are those the same fixtures? The LED just has replacement tubes? Which ones?

No i was just posting so u can seeeee the difference between fluorescent and leds. No i swapped out the entire fixture 1 4’ 2bulb for 4 strip 4’ foot led. I did buy led bulbs at first from costco but they will make a humming noise unless u change the ballast so i opted to change entire fixture.just haven’t change the last one because its over my car.

What did it for me was suck *** cold weather operation even with cold weather ballasts installed. I got tired of that chit.

I went in on the HF, Braun 7,000 lumen LED shop light. You can daisy-chain up to 4 and they put out some great lighting...
