Good lighting and Colour

In a nutshell - These lights offer an affordable, powerful, easy and energy-efficient lighting solution, especially well-suited for spaces like garages, workshops, and sheds. With straightforward assembly and a high lumen output, these lights are an economical, practical choice for many indoor applications. However, there are a few minor drawbacks that you should consider. Further details.. Each light produces 5000 lumens, has a wide 270-degree angle, and consumes only 40W of power, making it a cost-effective and more durable alternative to traditional fluorescent tubes. They’re also very easy to assemble/install. The lights come with all necessary accessories, including power cords with on/off switches, hardwiring options, and connecting cables that allow for up to six lights to be linked in series. This reduces installation time and effort, making the setup process smooth and hassle-free. They also include some connections with wire splices to make a longer cord, which I did to span the width of my shed so I could link 3 lights on either side with each other. While the lights themselves are fairly sturdy, especially compared to traditional fluorescent tubes, some care should be taken to ensure you don’t bend or twist them overtly, which could break them. Feature Summary Brightness: 5000 lumens per light Power Consumption: 40W per unit Beam Angle: 270 degrees Installation Options: Hardwiring and power cord with on/off switch Connectivity: Easily link up to 6 lights in series Included Accessories: Power cords, hardwiring kits, connecting cables, small connectors, installation manual Final Thoughts Overall, the Barrina LED Shop Light is a reliable, bright, and energy-efficient option that offers excellent value for its price. Its ease of assembly and versatility make it a great choice for various indoor lighting needs. I used them to light up my large tent shed, and it now looks great - day or night, and only took me under 30 minutes to get it all setup. If you need an affordable, easy lighting solution, these LED shop lights are definitely worth considering. They also go on sale occasionally. I was able to pick up a six pack on sale for $99.99 (29% savings) which worked out to $16.67/light which is a great deal!

I ordered two sets of these. Put one set of six up in my garage, and two strips in my laundry room. The hardwire pigtail they include isn't to Canadian electrical code, so I didn't use it. Ended up putting a single outlet box into the ceiling with two plugs to run two strips of three off the supplied plug leads. This makes them legally temporary lights in case there's ever an issue with a home inspection or whatever. The hardwire is fine, you could marrette it into a standard electrical wall box, but a proper electrician would probably take issue with that. That being said, the lights are good quality, the cables aren't copper but are easy to work with and seem fine for the use case. The lights are incredibly bright. Each strip feels like 100W equivalent or so. The light is just above the 6000k daylight spectrum, but no discernable blue. Makes waxing the car in the garage much easier to see. They've been on at least ~20 hours now over a few days. No flickering, no dead leds, almost cold to the touch. The options included to string them together are really appreciated. Appreciate also they give both a hardwire lead and a plug lead for each individual strip. The two small things I would say don't affect use or quality, but to me the screws they supply are a tad short. I know they hold next to no weight but I swapped them for proper wood screws and anchors where needed. The other thing is the metal brackets they supply feel fairly sharp on the sides. I felt like holding them to stop them spinning while screwing them in, they might slice my fingers if they spun in my hand, so ended up wearing a glove while mounting the brackets. Overall very happy with the product. I'll try and do an edit to this review in six months or a year about how they're fairing. Would buy again so far. Edit after over a year - all strips still going strong, no dead LEDs, thousands of hours on some of the strips. Super impressed, bought another box of them on next prime day in case any ever die. Edit two - Couple years later, all strips still strong. No LEDs burned out on any of them after thousands of hours.

Lights are really easy to install, and are really bright. I used 6 of them in my small woodshop (might be overkill, but I like a bright environment when working on details and finish). The lights connect easily and come with everything needed for install. The whole set up can be done in 15-30 minutes. I would recommend buying some cable management / hiding kit to finish the installation, especially if the light set up leaves some "extra" dangling cords. I used this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DM8DFXGL, and it easily held the extra wires when folded.

Easy to install, bright. Definitely worth the price.
