Bought these a couple of months ago at Woot’s other offering. By now, one bulb is dead and no response from Energetic Lighting’s through their web site after multiple contact attempts. So, their product is crap and their warranty is a lie.
A very similar light from another, better, brand at a big orange store costs about the same, too. Those are linkable with 19" links, too, unlike this one.
Sorry to hear about your experience. Have you tried reaching out to support@woot.com with your situation? Maybe CS can help you get in touch with the warranty holder.
This is not equivalent to 250watt anything. 3600 lumens is what you get from a traditional 2-tube 4ft flourescent light. A modern 32 watt 4ft lamp shines about 2300 lumens, or 50-80 lumens per watt.
We have not received any attempt for a return. We honor our warranty policy 100%. Have you attempted to call us??? Here is my email. Email me and I’ll get a return issued right away...rjones@energeticlighting.com
If the description is accurate then I couldn’t imaging buying something so bright. My current shop light has two 40 watt tubes for a total of 80 watts. If this thing is really more than three times as bright that seems really excessive for a shop light.
Can these be mounted directly on the ceiling, or do they have to hang?
Our garage only has 8’ ceilings, and the current fixtures (of florescent lights) are mounted directly to the ceiling. I could probably do a short chain setup if necessary, but I’d prefer to be able to mount them directly.
Also, any problem with working in the cold (say, down to 10 F)? One of the reasons I want to replace our florescent lights is that they don’t work in cold weather. I’d expect LEDs to work in cold weather, but I’d hate to spend the money and time, only to have the same problem.
LED “wattage equivalents” are typically based on incandescent bulbs. Probably a bad way to rate it in this use case (since shoplights are fluorescent). I’m guessing your 40 watt fluorescent bulbs are equal to 100+ watt incandescents.
Was going to purchase, after reading reviews and lack of support by manufacturer, I too will look for the cheaper alternative at the big box boys club, where I can easily return if necessary. Thanks WOot…! as always a fairer alternative to the scorching hot sun.
Good Morning,
These are only chain mounted fixtures. They are not capable of being ceiling mounted. However, they will work in cold climates. 10 degrees f should be no problem.
