Barrina 8FT LED Shop Lights, 72W 10000LM 6500K, Clear Cover Linkable Tube Light, T8 V Shape Ceiling Lights for Garage, Warehouse, Workshop, 10 Pack

I never write reviews, but this product deserves one! After doing a lot of research, it seemed this brand was the highest rated and liked. I just wanted bright lights without breaking the bank, so I bought these. I used 9 out of the 10 lights provided; the ones I bought were the 10 pack of 8FT 72W 10000LM 5000K. I ran 3 rows of 3 8Ft LEDs in a 22FT x 34FT garage. My first impression was that I was blown away with how bright they are! But I wondered how long they would last? Well, it's been over 2 years, and they are as good as the day they were installed. All the LEDs work with no fade or burnout, and there's no discoloration on the case or lens.Work in extreme cold and hot temperatures.Here are my pros and cons:Pros: Very bright, reliable, cheap, easy to install.Cons: Slight fast flickering when the 80-gallon two-stage 240v single-phase compressor kicks on, barely noticeable but annoying, easy to live with. Also noticed they flicker on high draw; this is particularly noticeable in summer when the A/C kicks on. They're not on the same circuit but the same bus. The mounting clips provided that hold and support the light work well; however, when you turn the lights on for a few minutes, you hear clicks and pops, not super noticeable, but the noise is there and goes away after a while due to heat contraction, my guess.I like things neat and clean, so I bought additional 1/2" NPT Cable Glands, 16/3 SJTW extension cords, 1 Gang Box junction boxes, and cable clips to mount on the ceiling. I'll sure this as others like my self might be interested in a cleaner installation.

Our garage inly had the 5 small lights in the first pic. I Installed these a couple weeks ago and am pleased with them. I have the original lights on one switch and the LEDs on another. Significantly boosts the light in our garage when they’re on. I cannibalized a few of the 4’ connector cords they came with by clipping one end, then ran wire through the attic to a few j-boxes. Then used some phone/cable face plates to give it a cleaner look on the ceiling. I used inly 4 of them and it is super bright in our 2.5 car garage now. I saw some comments about how ling they last, so just ordered the 8-pack and saved the remaining lights as backups. It will be plug-and-play to replace them.

OK i bought 2 sets of these lights for my 40 feet wide x 60 feet long and 22 feet high SHOPfirst of all i have 18 total lights i simply installed outlets on the ceiling when we built the shop at the center point at 3 locations, one left, center and right. each outlet is a duplex plug.since the plugs are in the center of a 60 foot in length they were installed at the 30 foot mark.i have 3 lights put together in a string and ran 3 strings running forward from the midpoint on the left, center and right, and 3 running backwards from the same duplex outlets for a total of 18 lights 6 strings of 3 each.let me tell you the lights have gotten more compliments than just about anything else in the shop by contractors, still getting work done and friends who have seen the shop.the Only gripe it the fact several have stopped working and now i know why!these things are 8 feet long, and when on they get warm. they are made on an extruded aluminum frame (heatsink) well if you know anything about physics metal expands when its heated up, and when you have 8 feet x 3 lights or 24 feet of aluminum they get longer by about a quarter of an inch i am guessing from one end of the string to the other.that said when your using the tiny solid plastic connectors between each and butt them end to end, they will grow and for a tiny amount actually have to slide through the mounting brackets i used to install them. when they cool one of the brackets on either end is probably just a little tighter than the others and as they shrink, they become unplugged from one another.how can you fix this? well in my case i am looking at several approaches, the most obvious to me seems to be how to tie them together at the ends with a mechanical fastener like a strip of aluminum and a screw at each end that spans the gap between them. i am going to inspect and make sure there's no electronics to drill through on the aluminum body that would prevent me from drilling a small hole and inserting a small pan head screw to secure an aluminum strip across the gap to make sure they don't separate.another idea would be to hang them from a couple pieces of string looped around them at each end so they can move a little and stay together, or if i separate them a little and use the 4 foot extension cords they provided but ill have a wad of cord to secure and tie up between each and i have to separate them by a few inches to accomplish this.i believe the only time you will have problems with these going out will be when your installation has them right across a ceiling butted end to end more than 2 at a time. if you have just 2 in a string i don't think they will come unplugged because each light can expand and contract a little at each end. but when you have 3 or more i think the one in the middle pushes it's partners apart enough that eventually after you turn them off and they cool they will disconnect.my biggest problem is i have a 22 foot high ceiling and as you can imagine it is difficult and dangerous to get up that high on anything to fix them, without a scissor lift that i have to rent at about $100 a pop to get close enough to them to make a permanent fix.another guy used some u shaped pipe clamps that fit over them as several have said the brackets they come with won't hold them. i think this idea will work well for a simple solution because i would expect the lights will easily slide through these brackets and keep them from getting pulled apart as they cool. i tweaked each of brackets a little so they would grip tighter and IMO i feel the brackets they come with are more than adequate for the light weight they have to support. HOWEVER i do highly recommend you snap a chalk line across your ceiling to get the brackets exactly in a straight line if your butt them end to end or use more then 2 brackets one at each end of a light because if you plan to use 3 or 4 of the brackets they come with you need them perfectly in line with each other. i found 2 was enough, just make sure each end of the bracket snaps firmly around the side of the light.

Outstanding very bright. It was very easy to install. Installed them outside under my patio in unless them hours. Weight of the light are excellent for one person installation. Easy to hard wire or plug in to 120V outlet. Brought 10 and only used 6 (3 in front 3 in back). It will light up your patio and yard perfectly.

I bought a 10 pack of these for my three car garage. They are bright but after four years of not everyday use, I have had three fail on me. The first was within the warranty and Barrina replaced it after some negotiation as they only wanted to refund me $19 IIRC. I declined as that would have left me a dark spot over my table saw. They eventually sent me a replacement unit which is still working after two years. I now have two that have failed after the warranty leaving me with two dark areas in my garage. After dissecting the first failed one, I found that the driver unit inside the fixture failed and is not easily replaceable. I'm sure these other two are the same. I have also noticed that multiple fixtures have individual bulbs inop. I used to recommend these but now I tell people that they are bright but be mindful of their longevity. You get what you pay for.

Excellent product this was a fantastic Buy

Could not be any better. Just wow
