I would definitely take that deal! But you will live forever with the new food gig.

I'll take dark conversations between buddies for $1000 Alex...
Had a few hours this evening to work on it. Only one more to put up. Just couldn't get another one over my head.
Is this the versa tube product?
No. I ordered this from my local metal supplier. Versa Tube would only sell me their "kits". Nothing fit what I am doing. It was about 50% cheaper this way.
Raining all day today, so I have been inside reorganizing the shop. Had a power flicker. I think it screwed up all of my LED bulbs. They randomly blink. One half on each bulb. If I turn the lights off and on, it will be about 2 minutes before this starts back up.
$780 in bulbs to replace.
45k hours my ass.

Maybe they need programmed off of disco mode
Disco gave me a headache then also. I almost can not be in the shop. The manufacurer is going to call me back. Yeh, right. She said they have a 5 year warranty. I hope they honor it.
You know you jinxed this. You told me yesterday they worked fine and weren’t voltage sensitive
I have not been impressed with led bulbs for shops, lamps or floods. Even the led dome lamp I put in burb sucks, no more illumination than an incandescent.
Only a few of the bulbs I used in lamps and fixtures have lasted more 3 years. I have stopped buying them.
We did just replace a 4' double tube florescent fixture in our laundry room with an $80.00 led fixure. Time will tell.
I definitely need better lighting in my shop, but not sure how to improve for car repair purposes.
I do use led work lights, I have several ATD Saber lights some are 7 plus years old and are just now starting to need battery replacement. Dropped one yesterday and it broke a connection on pcb board not sure I can fix it. Amazon wants $97.00 for it, ouch.
Hope they stand behind your lamp Wade, gonna suck not being able to use your shop

A lady from the company called me. They are in Atlanta. Got some info from me off of the bulbs. She said they have a 5 year warranty. Warranty guy is on vacation until Monday. He is supposed to call me then.
I put 4’ LED’s in my barn in 2016, none have burnt out yet.
The ceiling fans have LED’s I leave on 24-7, still burning on low light mode.
I have nothing bad to say about them
Good luck with the warranty Wade!

I really think it was the power issue.
You could potentially file a claim with your local utility. Might be hard to prove but it could work.
You said it was raining, was there lightning?

We don't get rain without lightning. Many close strikes. Building shaking thunder.
Doesn’t homeowners usually cover damage from lightening strikes? I know they replaced my neighbors TV and computer last year
Commercial building on a commercial lot. Home owners won't cover it. Our business insurance covers theft and fire type of stuff.
How quickly can you move said lighting fixtures into your basement 
I have to dig out a basement first.
