UPDATE 9/18/21
i got the "Beyond Bright" brand LED lights which look similar to the ones above.
DO NOT BUY------ABSOLUTE SHIT.
Now, they ARE BRIGHT A/F. So, that IS a good point. The problem is they don't work for very long. I've got 4 of them and 2 of the motion sensored ones don't work anymore. This is only after a few weeks in one case and immediately in another case.
Reviews are all bad---and reflect my exact experiences. The lights don't work in short order irregardless of if they have the motion sensor feature.
Poor quality, poor durability and reliability.
HOME DEPOT SUCKS. Corporate sell outs.
Now, we need recommendations for higher quality lights.

Based on the title of this thread, junk is all you will find.

sub'd gonna looking soon myself
My shop had 22 8 foot double florescent fixtirrs in it. I converted all but 4 that i don't use to LEF. Bought them off of Amazon. 1 uear later thry eere birning out. Company said FU when i ssked about replacing them. So i wrote up a review. I have been buying a couple of bulbs at atime from Home depot at 3 times the price.
Sort of expensive. But I know these work awesome. Installed 18 of these in a wharehouse at work that is open to the elements, non heated, and they are never shut off. After 2 years of 24/7 use we started putting them every where.
We have never lost one. All are still going.
Great light output. And they do have 5000k if your into that for some reason.
I'm looking to start putting them in my shop one at a time.
Im going to go with the ones with half that lumen count though since only 9.5' ceilings.

8520 Lumens - 65 Watt - 4000 Kelvin - 4 ft. LED Vapor Tight Fixture
Replace fluorescent strip lights with this PLT LED vapor tight for a safe, sealed light source. Peruse a wide selection of commercial lights at 1000Bulbs.com!
Are you thinking 5000k is the lumen?
K or kelvin is the measurement
For white color higher k is bight white to blue and lower is warm yellow.

Nvm mind should have clicked on the link 1st
I have cheap costco 4' LED fixtures. They rock. I live in the coldest place on the west coast, no issues.
Think they were $20-30 a fixture, i have 4 in a 2 car garage. My garage originally had 4 single bulb fixtures, i just cut the plugs off the Shop lights, and wired straight into the box where the bulb was hooked up. LED's are low amp draw, so no risk.
This was 5 years ago . I'd read amazon reviews, and order a 48" shop type LED fixtures. I'm sure there are tons of good ones.
