Everything's gone Chinese everywhere. To avoid it one would just about have to stop buying anything--other than perhaps guns and ammo

I've had an Amazon account ever since 2003. Steadily increased our business with them and bought into Prime in 2016.

But, for several years, now, their service levels have declined significantly. Particularly since about the time they launched Amazon Logistics. (Their own delivery system.) Their kicking Parler off Amazon AWS was the last straw. When they got themselves into the business of restricting free speech Amazon went to "vendor of last resort" with us. I cancelled Prime. We've done a small fraction of the business we used to do with them, ever since.

I've got this one over my work bench and it's been solid. I've got two more in the plan to add extra overhead light in the garage, but as things go this is rather low priority as my home projects go.

Bought a few at Lowes, survives the heat in FL
Also a couple of the plug ins at Costco, same thing, work fine.

Re: led work lights

Maybe somebody already covered this… But many people are sensitive to the flicker rates of PWM (pulse width modulated) led circuits. I have some in my shop and the flicker rates after three or four hours start to bother me. I blend in as much other light (natural and incandescent) as I can to reduce the effects.


Re: chinesium … I am now at the point in my life where I will gladly pay double for an American made part. I probably paid 600% over the cost of a Chinese lamp recently, but instead I went to Malkoff and was very happy paying the premium for a much better American made and designed product.

May not go over too well, but I have 13 of the 5000 lumen led shop light fixtures from Harbor Freight. The 6 in my pole barn have been going for 3 years without an issue. Also have 7 more in my shop area I put in back in the summer. None of this space is heated 24/7, and I've only had one quit working. I know they are Chinese shit, but they got their hands in any of these lights out there, in some fashion.

That's what I have. I got mine at Sam's Club. They can daisy chain up to 5 lights on a single receptacle.

Yep, I did 3 in one line and 3 in another, my shop isn't heated most of the time, so the fluorescents had to go, these solved that problem!

 
Last year I finally got around to replacing three 8' T-12 fluorescent lights in the garage. We went with Commercial Electric 4' LED tubes, joined to make 8ft lights. You can buy the individual 4' tubes, and they also sell a pack of two to make an 8' light. Flush mounted, very easy install (since we were replacing flush mounted lights). The 8' light puts out 11,000 lumens @ 4,000k temp. The model number for the two pack is 54598141. I bought them at Home Depot. And so far we are very happy with them.

The ones at Costco are nice and very reasonable in price. Costco usually carries quality products.

Thanks guys for all the input. I do not have a Costco near me or I probably would of got there.

A fairly close hardware store (ace) had the cheaper Feit at $30 each on sale so I ordered them as they only had one in stock. Should have early this week.

Thanks again.

Home Depot Shop Light

I 2nd this recommendation. I have several of those lights in my garage.

I bought these from Lowes and they have been fine:

Lithonia 2900 Lumen light

These are hard-wired, mount to the ceiling. I'd buy them again--in fact, I have.

I have three of these in my garage - they're great. I also put one in the attic in place of the bare bulb that was there and it has been working for 4 plus years without a hitch (I'm in Florida, so that's a lot of heat).
