I purchased seventeen these after testing one sixteen feet up in my 40x60 shop. I loved the bright white light and the amount that was produced, but wasn't happy with the thought that it had to be put up with hooks and chains. I decided to remove the plastic end on my test light to see what kind of wiring may be running through the center channel. To my surprise it was clear, no wiring or any other kind of obstruction. Long story short, I'll be drilling two 3/16 holes through the center channel and screwing them snuggle up to the ceiling! I noticed others had remarked about this problem and I hope this helps. I would have given 5 stars if this would have been an option, just hope it doesn't void the warranty on the product. Other than that I love the lights and the price!!!

Was looking for some cool white LED lighting elements for an above kitchen cabinets indirect lighting project, and similar-sized LED light strips were going for $50-$100 each. These shop lights contained two strips for just under $37 so I bought a couple, gambling that it could be easily disassembled for its parts. Sometimes you just get lucky. The housing is extruded anodized aluminum and the end caps are secured with some small screws. Remove the caps and the LED's can be easily slid out from the fixture. It comes with a small circuit board which is part of one of the end caps which I guess is a voltage regulator which you need to keep - the other end cap can be tossed. A little splicing and soldering later you can use these LED's for any project. A few observations - first these things are really bright, like the other reviews mentioned. I bought two units which gave me four LED elements, I probably could have done just as well for my project with a single shop light with its two elements. Oh well, live & learn. Second this has a three prong plug but I'm not quite sure why you need to ground it for an indoor application so I just added a two prong polarized adapter at the end and it works fine. Third, these Lights of America LED items at Sam's Club tend to be in & out items (not regular ongoing stock), so if you want one, buy it now because it may not be there a few months from now and might be something they pretty much only sold to Sam's Club like the PAR 38 LED bulbs LOA did about six years ago (i.e. good luck finding it even on the internet after it's gone at Sam's) which surprised me at the time.

I was considering adding a fluorescent light fixture to my shop so I could have better lighting. I saw this at Sam's Club and thought I would give it a try. It doesn't need to be hard-wired. It hangs from the supplied hooks and has a power cord with a pull chain. The light is instantly bright, which is a plus. I was up and running in 5 minutes. I haven't noticed any buzzing sound as another reviewer mentioned. I am very pleased so far. It's also made in the USA, which is a bonus. The lights don't give off any heat, which is also good.

Bought (2) of these to illuminate my fishing rod wrapping tables. Excellent brilliance, and easy to hang. The chain pull is also a feature that is exactly what I needed. I have (3) similar fixtures made by Feit in my garage, without pulls, and they cost about $20 more per fixture. These are a MUCH better deal all around. The only adverse thing about them I would say, would be the length of the cord. Had to use an extension cord, but not a huge deal.

I bought two of these for my garage and am very happy with this purchase; the product is excellent and the price is great. However, I did have a couple of issues. (1) on one of them, the pull-change was broken; part of it was lying in the box and part of it inside the switch. Had to do a "ball-bearing in the hole" puzzle to get the piece to come out of the switch and used a pull-change connector to join the two pieces together. (2) the two lights came with two different hanging styles; one had a plastic hanger and the other had a regular chain-link hanger. Installed in the same area, they kind of look odd. Having said that, functionally they are perfect for my need.

I installed 2 of these in my garage this past weekend. Pros: - All installation hardware is included, including S-hooks and screw-hooks and drywall anchors to anchor into the ceiling. - Weight - The units are lightweight, and use of the plastic drywall anchors seems to be sufficient for hanging the lights without having to drill into a ceiling joist. - Super bright - Lights up my 2 car garage just fine - Price - The price of these lights were lower through Sams club than anywhere else I could find. Cons: - No flush mount option. I had to loop the chains to bring the lights closer to the ceiling, but would preferred to have a flush mounting option. - Ground-plug - I initially planned to screw in an outlet into the existing basic lamp holder and plug in these lights, but these lights have a ground plug, so I had to install new outlet boxes in the ceiling. - Too white - as bright as the lights are, they are almost pure white. This may be a turn off to some.

What a bargain. After searching on the internet for led shop lights a friend suggested Sam's Club. I got prices well over $150 all over the internet but Sams club had the perfect light for less than $40. No reason to stray, Sam's club comes through again!

Five boxes were delivered with evidence of rough handling, one was torn open but no parts were missing. All lights work properly though one has the pull chain switch stuck in the ON position. I installed all lights plugged into switched outlets so this was not an issue. The light produced is very bright and a good color for my garage and work shop. They come on much faster than the fluorescent fixtures they replaced. I recommend these lights as a good value.

we purchased one of these lights in the store, and loved it. We couldn't find them in the store any more, so we ordered from the website. They arrived in short order, and one of the lights blew out w/in minutes of being plugged in. The store would not exchange just one, because it was a "set" purchase. One of the lights in the next box NEVER lit. We went w/ a different brand.

Wanting to replace my old shop lights because the old "tube bulbs" were always burning out, or flickering and in general, just not a very pleasant working atmosphere.....I was on the "lookout" for these new "LED shop lights but on initial investigation, found them to be to expensive, and so....just put the project on hold....Then online one morning I checked and found them at Sam's club and, at a more than reasonable price....I ordered ( 2), and in a week they were delivered....Now...the "acid test" I was honestly surprised to see how well constructed they were. light in weight, and in 5 minutes were ready to hang.....When plugged in, the illumination was twice or even more than one my old shop lights and 100% better than I expected. I went to Sams in Maine, and purchased 8 more and now my entire shop area...looks fantastic and without a single corner that is not bathed in bright light !!!!! Now on top of all that...they will last more than 5,000 hours left on continually 24/7.....Mine will be on only hours a day so the cost ( now pennies a day for all of them ) will be quite noticeable......Thumbs up on this item !!! More than worth it !!!!!!! You won't be disappointed !
