SHP 46.5 in. Black Integrated LED Shop Light 4000K in Cool White

Exactly what I was looking for. I had six of these shipped to my home. They arrived on time and in good condition. Ive been using them for several weeks now and couldn't be happier. They're bright and look good in my shop. I put 6 of these in a 12 x 24 metal building where I keep my motorcycle. Two of these would have been sufficient but my eye sight aint what it used to be so I went for some overkill. worked out great. More than enough light.

Light works perfectly. Good buy. Not disapointed. 5 stars

Easy to install. Hangs down enough so that the pull cord is reachable. Good value for the price. Meets my expectations.

Easy instali and works exactly as advertised. I may even buy a second one.

Plenty bright and easy to install.

Would I recommend? Yes, with a caveat. If you're used to dual-tube fluorescent fixtures with cool white (6500K) lamps in your workshop, you might not like these at first. These are 4000K, which is warmer, almost light cream in color. And the light is super bright, and directed in a more straight down pattern than the fluorescent fixtures that they replaced. There's not as much edge light, so two corners of my shop weren't as well lit. I was about to repackage them and take them back, but I decided to try an experiment. I plugged the fixtures into my vintage rotary dial (wiper style) variac to see if these were "somewhat" dim-able. They're not advertised as such, but I've found that many LED fixtures, if they don't specifically state "Not Dimmable" on the box, can actually be dimmed to varying degrees. Some only dim about halfway, and some go down further but they either flicker or drop out completely. Halfway would be acceptable to me. And I could re-position them to fill those corners, as long as I could get the "normal" brightness down a bit. These responded well, dimming down to about 1/4 brightness at 25 VAC (see photos). There was no flicker using the analog wiper variac, but I can't use that all the time as a wall dimmer (LOL), so I bought a Lutron "Skylark" dimmer. It works well, but at the same low level, the lights have a perceptible amount of flicker. However, they stop when I ease the slider up to a level that is still "comfortable". I have these in my HAM radio shack, where I also do engineering design work from my home. Full brightness is just too much for most purposes - it's almost obnoxious.But the dimmer, plus the ability to turn the one over my workstation off when necessary convinced me to keep these. When I work on radios, I can turn these up to full power and see everything. The pictures below may illustrate my point somewhat.I'm used to hardwired, surface mount fixtures, so I admit it's hard for me to adjust to plug-ins and chain mount. But if I must, I must.

4' Shop Light - plug-able and gang-able; one outlet can powers several of them. The housing is steel with a diamond tread pattern; white on the inside and flat black on the outside. The power cord is about 5 feet long and there is a socket in the other end of the fixture to plug another one into. They are designed to be hung (chain suspended) and those 12" black chains are included, and have a pull chain if needed. Be careful, the reflectors have sharp edges! Color rendition is quite good, and the diffuser works. It is not overly blue or too yellow. It looks good, and provides good light and saves on the electric bill verses a standard fluorescents. lamp pair. Sorry, I could't photograph it well in operation... I'm using this to replace a finicky florescent fixture above my shop bench. A couple of these would make the "man cave" - garage not only look good, but would have better light than the florescent!

METALUX Black Integrated LED Shop Light 4000K in Cool White There are no windows in my basement woodworking shop and I have been adding LED lights alongside my existing fluorescent tube lighting as my aging eyesight diminishes. I just installed this cool looking and very bright LED light above my work bench. Rated at 4,200 lumens and 46.5” long, it’s very bright and the industrial diamond plate stamped Stainless Steel (outer surface is painted black) makes it look perfect in the workshop. It has a 3-prong 5ft long A.C. cord and has a pull chain with a nice large plastic pull knob. What I really like that is different from my other lights is the 3-prong A.C. mounted outlet in the top of the unit. Another brand of light I am using requires a “special cord” to link their lights together if you needed or wanted to run in a series off each other. This also prevents you from mixing old and new lights. This Metalux light by ETON uses a regular 3-prong outlet so if you can plug any standard light into it and chain them together without a problem. It also has a dust cover that snaps on if you don’t want to plug into it. The light is non glare and comes with two “S hooks” and two hanging chains. It’s ready to pull out of the box and hang it up in minutes. I am very happy with this light and recommend it.

Installation was very easy: just put two hooks into floor joists, attach the chains and plug in the fixture. Much brighter and quieter than the old fluorescent fixture it replaced.

The product is as advertised, and the construction seems solid. But I would prefer if it had a whiter (higher Kelvin measure) light output, more like 5000K. Instead it is more like a "warm" color.
