Customer Reviews for Metalux 2.75 in. 32-Watt 1-Lamp White Commercial Grade T8-Fluorescent Narrow Strip Light Fixture

This is a very good light fixture. It is very easy to hang up on the ceiling and easy to assembly the fixture. The panels are easy to install very little effort in doing that. What really impress me the most about this light fixture the the most was the flip up sockets on this light fixture and they were easy to flip up and they stayed in place. This light fixture is perfect for garages and workshops. You can use T 8 bulbs or L. E. D. bulbs in this light fixture. Quick start up and there's no humming from the ballast since it's electronic. I highly recommend this light fixture.

This product works great and was easy enough to work with, I had to make a few custom reptile lights and this is what I used for the base light fixture. I wired up a plug with a cord and had to cut it to size.

Installed on high shop ceiling to discover a bad ballast. Now have to take it all down, go back to home depot, and start over. Not happy.

Great lighting an easy to install

I bought 10 sets for my garage and installed Philips 32-Watt Equivalent 4 ft. T8 LED Linear Light Bulb Daylight (5000K) (10-Pack) from Home Depot as well and they worked like a charm. Instant on with no need to warm up like the old florescent bulbs. nice and bright is what I wanted. Had electrician hardwire them in for me while finishing our house. some of the bulbs are installed upside down that I got to fix. overall completely satisfied

I just put 6 of these up in my new 30x40x12 shop and wow they are bright with 4100k bulbs. It took me about 6 hours total for installation of all 6 by myself so not too terrible. This is just what i was looking for.

Fantastic 32 watt light white in color, 4 ft long fluorescent strip light. Very easy to install, it was already pre-wired, all I had to do is add a pig tail. This light takes the slim t-9 bulbs, two of them. It is very bright, just what I needed above my lathe. It is very well made and lightweight. The sockets flip up for easy assembly. Very nice white enamel finish. Looks great!!

The 32 watt 4 light white 8 ft tandem light: You should see what you are missing. We put these up in under 30 minutes. Minimal tools. Yes: Read the instructions. They will help explain the best way to assemble and fasten your new lights to your ceiling. Note: when replacing older fixtures, some came with braided wire, these have the click in and done clips. The bulbs we chose were T 8 32 watt daylight. What a difference. We put 2 fixtures up and you will see the difference. Yes, I did power them up for photo purposes, but do no recommend that. Safety first.

This is an average overhead fluorescent strip light at best. It's only deluxe feature is the flip down tube sockets. It is very plain-jane. It has no on/off switch of any kind so it must be hardwired into a switch of some type (not included) or it will remain lit at all times. It is a single ballast fixture with no instructions and does indicate the type of bulbs to use in it. (also not included)

Very easy to install works great

This was a perfect fit to replace a fixture that recently failed.

You always have what I need.

The lights were easy to put together and install.

When I got to the service desk to pick up the item, the box was tapped shut because it was previously opened. I opened the box to check the light fixture and make sure all parts were present and the fixture looked like it was dropped on one end. It was bent and the end was broken free from the rest of the fixture. I returned it right there at the service desk and my account was given credit. It was the last one so I couldn't swap it out.

I haven't installed these yet.

Placed in our kitchen above the sink as a replacement of our old one. Works great.

My garage is happy…thanks.

Just easy as opening the box and hang it. Tobad it didn’t come with light defuser to put more light downwards.

2 out of 16 did not function
