High Bay Industrial 6-Light Grey Hanging Fluorescent Fixture

the t8 are a good light source and these high bay light have a strengthening member on top of the light that make hanging with chain very easy and stable

These lights are sturdy and bright, but keep in mind a light is only as bright as the bulb you put in it. I bought one of these using GE Daylight bulbs and was thrilled. I then went out and bought another light fixture but accidentally grabbed the wrong bulbs which have a bit more of a yellow hue to them. I ended up putting 3 of each in each fixture and the results were satisfying for me. I have one of these hung in each garage bay above and in front of the engine compartment and can easily work on the top of the engine without using a trouble light. We had some temps go down to about 10 degrees in early November and the lights came right on. Some might consider these a bit expensive but for a 6 bulb fixture I think the price was right on.

Appreciate the home delivery, free shipping was a added bonus

Bought three of these fixtures for my shop (10' ceilings). They put out great light and were very easy to install. The only issue I have had is radio interference. They are on three separate light switches, so when I noticed that my DeWalt Radio was sounding fuzzy, I tracked the interference to one fixture. I checked all of the connections and they were tight. I called Lithonia and was told that these are considered industrial fixtures and the ballasts are not required to meet the residential interference specifications. So if you purchase this fixture you MAY have an issue with radio reception. I only have it on one, so it's not necessarily going to happen to you.

Mounted with 1/4 inch threaded rod, need to drill two holes in each unit. Positive lock on bulbs. Good value.

This unit comes with spartan instructions on the box, and presents a bit of a challenge for the electrical connection. First off, you need to PURCHASE SEPARATELY the chain hanger for an easy install -- they are not included (Part HC-36) located in the same aisle at Home Depot. The wiring is a bit confusing, and no external diagram is included nor is it easy to find on the web. If you disassemble the fixture, you find the directions on the ballast that there are three wires -- White, Black -- and RED (although on the other side of the connector is is GRAY). The White and Black connect in the usual way, white to white and black to black.. The Red (aka GRAY) can be connected to the WHITE -- and then the fixture will function at 100% brightness. If left unconnected, it starts at 100% but then dims (I think to 60%), Alternately you could arrange for a dimmer operation by installing a switch in-line between the RED and the White.. Once installed the unit is very Bright (another reviewer said it best -- did I install the sun in here?) -- and my dark garage is now bright. Now I just need to install my other unit in the other garage bay and I will be all set. I wish the manufacturer would include instructions for the unit -- but they are here now so you don't have the long install that I did. I have included a photo of the Ballast so others don't need to disassemble their units. It shows the written instructions, and also the connector with the Gray to Red color change.

The six light high bay hanging fixture puts out superior light, as you can see in the picture when compared to the lamps we are replacing. We were able to replace two fixtures with every one we installed. It makes it easier, and safer, for workers in a warehouse environment to see thier surroundings.

I love how bright my art gallery is now! There is a large footprint of strong light. I bought the most expensive "daylight" bulbs. I like the light fixtures so much I have ordered more for my workshop.

Great light for the work shop

i have 21 of these in my shop. Two different bays. i have replaced balasts when available but that seems to be a problem getting now. so i am now in for alot of complete light replacments at 14 ft in the air. Do not buy these lights
