110W 8FT LED Wraparound Ultra Slim Strip Lights, 12600LM, 5000K, 8 Foot LED Garage Shop Lights, Flush Mount Warehouse Office Ceiling Lighting Fixture, Fluorescent Tube Replacement, 2 Pack

I bought and installed an overhead light from this company in a laundry room and was satisfied with the light quality and ease of installation. When one of the two fluorescent lights in my garage went bad, I searched and ended up purchasing two 8 foot lights from the same company due to price and past experience. I installed the first 8 foot light and all was well. I installed the second 8 foot light and only half of it worked. I contacted customer service and was asked to send a couple pictures. In a very short period of time, I was informed that they would send a new light free of charge. I received the new light in a couple days, installed it and the whole light worked this time. The lights are very bright and perfect for a garage. They look good and so far function properly. This company lived up to the warranty and customer service was very responsive which in my book is as important as the quality of the product.

First and foremost, I have zero experience with wiring something like this and initially it was intimidating because A) I didn't know what I was doing B) the instructions are minimal. Step one in removing light fixture: From a wiring aspect, look for the wire connecting nuts and the ground wire. You will want to ensure power switch is off. No need to turn off from box. Just ensure the switch is off and when you remove the caps that you ensure the wires don't touch as a precaution. Step two: once the wires, black, white, and ground are undone. It's time to unscrew the light fixture and dispose. Step three: install mounting plate where the wires come down from the ceiling. Then install new led fixture. This is where a second person and ladder help. I did it myself with just a chair but it would obviously be easier with someone. Hold the fixture up and pair the new led wires to the ceiling wires. white/white, black/black, then green/bare wire. Once you connect the wires with the caps, mount the fixture up momentarily to test. Flip the switch. If all is well, finishing mounting the fixture. There you have it. You're done and it's a beautiful led bright light now in my garage.

Great product

I ordered the 2-pack of these lights and both arrived damaged while the shipping box showed no damage, so demerits for mfg build quality. The damage was not enough to stop my project to wait on returns but did require some reshaping of bent/dented metal pieces using tools, not just hands to get the job done. One unit was missing one of the thumb screws used to hold the center cover on (again, lack of quality control...) but I got lucky and had a proper size screw to replace it - it's just not a white covered thumb screw, so a bit obvious/eye-sore of a difference but on a ceiling that's 14 feet tall, I doubt that will be noticed by anyone but me. These units replaced a pair of traditional T8 4ft dual bulb florescent fixtures (garage) and the brightness is VASTLY oversold in their description. They are far from 12.6K lumens each and to be honest, without getting out my light meter to measure actual lumens (didn't need to - obvious), I can say that I fired up one old T8 and one of these to compare and the brightness was maybe only 20% more from the AntLux than the flourescent. Considering the AntLux is twice the size, this is pretty disappointing. Mounting was relatively easy but I do recommend having a helper. Doing the job by myself took significantly longer than it should have and handling the 8ft length alone can be a bit unwieldy - especially when standing on the top step of an a-frame ladder working on a ceiling that's 6+ feet higher than said step. The directions leave some to be desired if you need them but let's face it - this project is pretty self explanitory. There are a couple of knock-outs through which to run power cabling but at least in my case, they weren't where I needed them so I ended up drilling new holes in the units. Not optimal but doable. The mfg claims that the units are 'linkable' right out of the box but that's a bit of a misnoner as they don't provide you with any link cabling to tie the power together (although there are knock-outs on the ends of the frame to allow cabling to run internally between lights. As well, there is a single small metal bar that can be screwed to each unit to tie them together; however, this is for basic alignment only and should not be used to support any load (on any axis) as it's not substantial enough to do so. It's a nice feature I suppose if you're looking to make long runs of what appears to be a single light. I didn't use this feature in my install. So, overall these are decent units that do seem to produce 5000K light (with a claimed CRI of 90+), while maybe not at the lumens level claimed. They are decently bright though, look nice enough from a decorative perspective - certainly better than the exposed bulb shop light units they replaced, and are of reasonable quality for their stated purpose albeit with a few quality control issues in my particular case. If AntLux actually does honor the warranty claimed should you need it, they should provide solid service. While I recommend them, I'm only grading them at 3.5 stars (rounded up to 4) due to damage and missing parts from the mfg, and directions that could be significantly better for those who need them.

These lights will transform your workspace with daylight illumination. I like to work in my garage and have installed 1 under my cabinets and another in the ceiling to replace small led units. I have already ordered two more because they are so good. The mounting requires a little thought if you are installing into drywall only but the units are light enough to stay up with drywall anchors.

Not as heavy as the old two light 8ft fixtures and gives off plenty of light. Wiring fits in the provided channel raceway and is easy to cover.

Easy to install and provide plenty of light.

The Good - The lights are bright and easy to install. The Bad - The construction is very flimsy , the sheet metal is thin. I received two shipments of these lights. The first shipment was double boxed. There was no damage on the outside box but there was damage on the inside box and the lights were severely damaged. There was no indication of the inside box was used to ship so the lights were packaged knowingly damaged. The second shipment was single boxed and also damaged. The center metal strip touches the box and since the strips are flimsy both lights were dented. There is no excuse for knowingly packaging damaged product and there is also no excuse for not designing better packaging. This purchase has been my only negative Amazon experience service wise and product wise!
