Finally got the lights up in the shop, I put in 8 of the 10 Amazon LED 8' strips I bought. I am thinking the last 16' will go above the work bench.
THESE ARE F'N BRIGHT!!!
THESE ARE F'N BRIGHT!!!
Barrina LED Shop Light, 8FT 72W 9000LM 5000K, Daylight White, V Shape, Clear Cover, Hight Output, Linkable Shop Lights, T8 LED Tube Lights, LED Shop Lights for Garage 8 Foot with Plug (Pack of 10) https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07RKZFD5Z/?tag=rippca-20Like. Do you recall the part number for them and the per strip cost?
Hit up the local big box car parts for a new foam filter and cover bag for my baby Shop Vac. Got the foam one unpacked and went install it and it split along the seam!!! Thinking about trying a repair using crazy glue. Did manage to get the vac, cleaned out with a little help from my compressor and used the old foam filter for now. This little one is handy because I can fit it under the panel bench and it is out of the road yet available for cleaning up the metal dust and shavings from the work being done on the inner door shell..

Funny you posted that. I bought a new mini shop vac, will have to post how it works.Like. Do you recall the part number for them and the per strip cost?

Not a bad price for getting 10 of them... less than $30 a fixture. The linkable fixture especially seems useful for perimeter installationBarrina LED Shop Light, 8FT 72W 9000LM 5000K, Daylight White, V Shape, Clear Cover, Hight Output, Linkable Shop Lights, T8 LED Tube Lights, LED Shop Lights for Garage 8 Foot with Plug (Pack of 10) https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07RKZFD5Z/?tag=rippca-20
They don't have hanging hardware with them and the linking cables/short links are somewhat sketchy. However they weigh nothing and are VERY bright.So I followed the URL link, thanks for including that, and took a peek at the promo. Loved everything except the price. Not sure if that is normal for such an item or if Amazon was being greedy. Will keep them in mind though as I want to add lights to the north wall in my shop. The rough in's are already there but haven't settled on what type of light to use. Wouldn't mind scoring some goose necks to bring the lights closer to the vehicle but They'd need bracing to support the weight so there is that to consider.
Thanks for posting the URL, appreciate the courtesy.

That was my thought too. They had decent reviews and I am impressed with the bet I placed. They don't get hot, weigh nothing and, and the light is a good daylight that's not too blue. I couldn't get dual tube 48" LED equivalent T10 fixtures for less than about $40 per.Not a bad price for getting 10 of them... less than $30 a fixture.

Last year I bought some Black Friday specials that seemed decent, I only got 8 though. They were supposed to be about what you found, $40ish each, but were only $15. I figured worse case scenario I'd use them under cars when I went on a creeper till I broke them or they got otherwise messed up because they didn't throw heat, but was pleasantly surprised with what showed up. Housings were metal at least, although not linkable so you've got to plug or wire everything in.They don't have hanging hardware with them and the linking cables/short links are somewhat sketchy.

followed that link, thought the price was a little high too. then I noticed it was Canadian Amazon (.ca) site and decided to check the .com site, a whopping $100 cheaper!So I followed the URL link, thanks for including that, and took a peek at the promo.
