    Naw, they are cool lights. Maybe seeing them in real life makes the difference though. What's the deal with the slide out portion that I saw in one of the pictures? Spread the light more?

          I will probably start with a pair of flourescent fixtures and go from there. I have a couple of under cabinet fixtures over the work bench right now so that area has some direct lighting

            I picked up two of these today. The bulbs are fixed and can not be changed. Just FYI for anyone interested.

                Yes, you can change the beam pattern with them and clean them.

                We've got a couple of their smaller ones, and I agree on both accounts. It's designed for long time industrial use and priced accordingly.

                  Ha, maybe after I get the garage cleaned up a little this weekend. I've got motorcycle parts scattered all over the place at the moment.

                      How hard is it to change a regular bulb socket and install 6 of those costco lights?

                        so funny, i jsut this weekend took down the single one bulb light socket and wired in an outlet and ran 2 4ft florescents from lowes. $17/ea. between those 2 4 footers the 2 100w bulbs in the garage door opener, and the maybe 2 ft floresent on my cheap little workbench its plenty of light.

                        while i was at it i added a dusk till dawn sensor on the halogen i have on the driveway. so im pretty much a licensed journeyman electrician at this point.

                        god bless.

                          Just use some old shop lights and toss in some new retro bulbs provided the old fixture utilizes e-ballast

                            Is there a benefit to these Because the Costco lights are only $32. Just those bulbs are $25 each.

                              The Costco lamps are fine except the entire unit must be replaced if the diodes crap out. Note the color temp on any led bulb. I prefer the lower temp.

                              There are cheaper T8 retrofits available. I was referencing those thinking of replacing fixtures when there are cheap options to have swappable "bulbs"
