LED Shop Lights - Jay Leno's Garage

[@codyprealtor]

I installed Barrina T8 lights from amazon and they are so bright in my space, and now I have 60,000 Lumens. I absolutely love them. If you're looking for a budget option, Barrina T5 or T8 Lights are amazing and available on Amazon!

[@markusstrobl1067]

Cool to see how far we've come in only 5 years. In Nov 2012 a T8 LED tube was $73. I just upgraded my garage with USA made T8 LEDs (Hyperikon brand) for just $9 each, an 88% price drop! Very happy with the results, light is noticeably better than the old fluorescents.

[@ncdave4life]

These? www.amazon.com/Hyperikon-equivalent-Daylight-Single-Ended-Lighting/dp/B00NXBMDEY

[@markusstrobl1067]

Almost. I used the 5000K version which (IMO) is a better color temp for a shop. www.amazon.com/Hyperikon-Light-equivalent-Crystal-Single/dp/B00OMAIG2S/ref=sr_1_4?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1511926446&sr=1-4&keywords=Hyperikon+T8+LED+5000k

[@danwat1234]

I'd like to see a video of Jay talking about aftermarket LED bulbs for cars. Dome/trunk/license/door turn signal, tail DRL and even headlight LEDs. That would be fun to watch.

[@Chickhunters]

He talked about LED headlights, but said he didn't like the way they stick out from the original bezels; He did however install and recommended wireless LED tail light and turn signal combos for some of his classics that he takes out regularly.

[@danwat1234]

[@tgravert]

Our ActiveLED lights have proven our 10 year no light loss warranty as in Nov 2016. Now we are running these on solar power. 100% efficient.

[@eugimon]

I love that guys like Leno are there on the front lines of the green revolution but they're not talking about meta concepts like global warming but talking about what's most important to most of us: the bottom line.

I hope he still has his job.

At least he wasn't playing Pokemon GO.

[@0deathmaster]

lmao thanks to him I got hungry

[@cnt2c56]

Jay, did you script that?

[@rotor13]

They're also covered with a diffuser. My high school harped on conservation, so it was very dark/dim. BUT, it also helped to pay for the badass field trips. Plus, our windows were MASSIVE so we had a lot of natural light

[@rd47blog]

Thanks, I'm an Electrical Estimator in the metro Phoenix Az. area, and this video was simple and too the point on LED Lighting.

[@donnieanderson2682]

They make T8 LED replacements that don't require a retrofit or ballast bypass. They actually require the ballast. And only $15 each or so for a 4 footer. Phillips makes them and Home Depot has tons of them. It would be nice to have a 120-277V LED with no ballast required for the same price. It would eliminate the ballast failure possibility. I have installed Titan products and they are excellent.

[@johnkulpowich5260]

Jay your the best. AMERICA needs you again.

[@garfgo]

That 70 dollar 4 foot LED tube in 2012 is now well under 10.00. No reason any more not to make the switch

[@laptopdragon]

and I thank people like Jay for paying the exorbitant early adopter prices. just bought 6 bulbs for the garage at wallyworld for less than $15.oo

[@gcavy1]

this guys knows his stuff! LEDs rock. My bike lights are so bright, so small and so light (pun intended!) We need to keep pushing this tech so the price can continue to come down. LEDs would make all of our buildings and cities so much more efficient.

[@staceyhowse208]

Great explanation for what an LED is.

[@fordsrmaster]

I liked watching the guy in the background eating his lunch on camera.

[@AlexAtGuilford]

Heh! I caught that, chicken and a movie.

[@ThinkingSpeck]

Overall cost depends on lifetime energy costs - these lights should pay for themselves quite a few years before they need to be replaced. It depends on circumstances, of course, but for Jay's workshop it makes perfect sense.

[@PacketCyclotron]

Lets stand in the shot and eat chicken. 1:57

[@Kirby7601]

LMFAO

[@dunhillsupramk3]

i didn't know that maybe that is the reason i get a little disorientated when under a fluorescent light with the mirror fittings... i guess you learn something new everyday thanks for the knowledge

I already replace the lights in the shop for a led and they look great but I bought the 20 dlls Chinese 4ft t8 I recommend you upgrade too

[@jenniferfischer7171]

What type of light set up is best for working under the hood of a car? I want to surprise my husband with a new set up and don’t know where to start. Thanks for the help!

[@cbobscountrybunker2312]

i would love to see your solar system in your shop. nice to see the new products .

[@seedstarter7]

If I had a shop like that, I would install a bunch of suntracker skylights and might not need to turn those LED's until nighttime. Nice video on LED's no less.

[@kove]

Jay for president.

[@robertmccully2792]

I am sure Jay gets everything free the first time in videos like this. Think about all the things, welders, printers,,, on and on.

[@303supercool]

I already liked Jay but he goes up a notch for promoting sustainability. Please do more products on sustainability that are relevant to your show.

[@plips71755]

The prices are coming down but the big difference is the length of time and LEDs that are a cheap price are cheap made and don’t last and when tested on output aren’t putting out what they say after a period of time. Even regular bulbs have to be checked with a light meter to see if they are still putting out the desired light..greenhouses have to do this or plants begin to decline.

[@danwat1234]

Many errors in this video! 0:20 Metal Halide/ Sodium HID bulbs are at least as efficient as tubed fluorescent if not a bit better. 2:08 LEDs are not 90% light, 10% heat! Even high end lasers are not that good! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_efficacy , theoretical top is 43.9% light, 56.1% heat for LED. I've heard that BMW and Audi's laser headlight are not more than 20% more energy efficient versus LED headlights and LED headlights are about 4x the efficiency of halogen headlights (at the most), or about 25 watts vs 55 and about twice (usually more like 1.75x) the brightness. Still under 25% light, so still over 75% as heat for LED headlights. For shop lights they may be able to increase efficiency a bit further because there is room for heatsinking and computer controls, but not anywhere above 40% light IMO. 2:50 90,000 hours is highly optimistic. The LEDs would be dimmed significantly by that time but may still function. 3:30 the ballast doesn't excite the gases, it increases the voltage well beyond 120 volts in order for the voltage to allow current to flow through the gases in the tube.

[@crabtrap]

wow you're so wrong on so many fronts.

[@danwat1234]

Elaborate?

[@crabtrap]

danwat1234 a properly built LED light is easily 40% more efficient then MH or florescent counterpart. a simple heat test would prove that. also the DoE is pretty clear on their stats as to the LED efficiency

[@danwat1234]

But nowhere in my post did I say LED efficiency can't be 40% or greater improvement over HID or fluorescent tubes. CFL cirlq Q bulbs, the best I have seen are 60w equivalent LED bulbs that take 11 watts I think. Versus CFL that is 13w. 40w CFL is 9 watts , led is 7.5 watts. But in time LED should improve farther. His statement at 2:08 is ridiculous.

[@crabtrap]

danwat1234 LED strip lighting is a vastly more efficient design then the screw in bulb types made to retrofit incan lamps and such. this vid is a few years old; a quality 4' LED strip light runs about $40 about $10 more then a flor strip lightw bulbs. the stats of both are printed on the boxes for you to compare.

[@blueribb99]

The T8 4-foot LED replacement tube he showed is now available for as little as 10 bucks a pop (on eBay). LED technology is just now starting to become really affordable.

[@trimox8314]

Is that from titan led or china? ......oh that's right, china

[@q1o2]

Yeah the one he showed bypasses the existing ballast, a critical stage. Most 4' LED bulb replacements you can find for $10 still run off the EXISTING ballast, so when it fails, so does your new LED light.

[@murderdoggg]

The timing on "He`s a bright guy." was worth the 6:45 alone.

[@3ducs]

One thing about fluorescents is that they emit UV light, like the sun. I see the photographs in the background, with fluorescent light they will eventually fade.

[@PaulSMilligan]

The lights look great in there. I wish I'd looked closer during my tour. LEDs are great.

[@GHOSTJERKER]

I replaced all of my bulbs in my house with LED and I did not see much if any savings on my electric bill and I cannot read as well under LED's... See if they throw "usable" light in the shop Jay. Titan may be a bit better than what they sell at Home Depot where I bought mine.

[@DAVIDTM187]

good shit J.

[@ecrcom5210]

You lost me at 4:05. Who's going to pay $73.00 for one tube; unless you're rich like Jay Leno?!?

[@TheSoloAsylum]

this video is two years old and the light have come down a lot now to where the home owner can buy them. Have a look on ebay.

[@ecrcom5210]

good to know; thanks!

[@mthompson]

End of 2018, T8 LED replacement bulbs can be had for around $60-80/case of 10.

[@main199]

I just installed four 8' led in my garage for 56.00.

[@randalltaylor3700]

8 ft ballast bypass fa8 bulbs are only around $14

[@cup_and_cone]

This guy knows his stuff. Sounds a lot smarter than those damn eBay sellers with LED replacements.

[@crabtrap]

as of Jan 2017....a flourecent 2 bulb shop lights costs about $30(with the bulbs). a brighter 2 strip LED shop light costs $45. its a no brainer, go with the LED

[@Rhaspun]

I wondered how Jay was going to pay for that garage LOL Jay Leno's growing 😎🍺

[@nancyglover9915]

Great information! Thank you.

[@usmdude1983]

at 3:04 any one ever seen a cord like that? I have needed something that will plug in to a LED t8 like that for years!

[@jdmphunk1]

awsome lights I need some of those for my garage.

[@BGraves]

I used wood and made T8 led florescent replacement fixtures and lit my 2 car garage with 14 4' bulbs. Excessively bright and only uses 238 Watts. When it was all said and done it only cost me 90 dollars

[@xx4x4x4]

Awesome vid!!

[@ManWithBeard1990]

It's always important to buy quality when it comes to LEDs. It's easy to make LEDs very bright by just driving more current through it, provided you can cool them properly, but if they are driven too far, which cheap makes often do to save on LEDs with lower rated power, longevity will suffer. They won't die immediately, but they do lose brightness over time. A quite short period of time for cheaper (or older) ones. LEDs don't like heat.

[@crabtrap]

in a shop like jay's there, it would be more efficient to run those lights from a central DC transformer that distributed say 12v to all those fixtures.....safer too.

[@WJCTechyman]

crabtrap Then he'd have to buy the central driver and possibly upgrade the copper to a larger gauge...too costly.

[@ka7hqp182]

Can I listen to a vintage AM Radio in a vintage car or do these lights emit noise like fluorescent lighting making AM Radio unusable?

[@XxJonnyCookiexX]

Awesome Jay, im glad your replacing your lights look into getting paid for your solar panels and give back to the city ive heard it happen good job :)

[@Alien5700]

Guy in the back chomping on the chicken wings. LOL 😂

[@blacksupra001]

Jay, can you also do one one LED headlights as well, and maybe a led versus hid xenons. thanks

[@williammcneelyjr.44]

I use LEDs in my solar powered home & will be using LEDs in a new garage I'm building now. I love them but this guy has the highest prices out there. Shop around because there are some much better deals available.

[@stevencagle1031]

Why would you need LEDs if you have solar power? If you have enough solar panels and sufficient batteries for storage, do you actually save any money using LEDs?

[@crabtrap]

LED are mostly maintenance free and batteries cost money to so LESS lighting load = LESS battery capacity needed. science is a wonderful thing.

[@ledmk2]

Nice LED's

[@scottallberry6713]

led over sodium, insane dollar savings, plus a huge detention on life. led over fluorescence is a good 10% dollar savings. another saving is the amount heat given off. older bulbs spend half or more of their energy in heat, not light. that's how led makes the savings, light instead of heat. the last difference is led is a plastic tube, bendable even. fluorescence is a glass tube with mercury gas inside.

[@MrWinn]

That guy in the background, is the same dude that Jay did the Overhaulin show on. Is he workin off the fantastic Foose nomad he got?

[@laohantun7404]

Good very good choice Jay.....

[@DP-hy4vh]

The price on ballast bypass tubes have come way down since this video was made. If you buy them in bulk, such as 20 tubes, you can pay as little as $5 per tube.

[@MadsWorld34]

i put a cheap walmart 4 foot LED in my motorcycle shop and one does better that 2 fluorescent. but i went 2 and so far i have replace 3 of the 4 in my garage. the 4th one is a pain to get to and i'm old and lazy. so will change it when it quits. plus i'm on a fixed income. and starting in my house as the light goes out or something else i change it to LED. my light bill is dropping slowly.

[@morani24]

2:37 Cameraman: Dude, you need to smile more. 2:41 Oh my god, that was fabulous.

[@ThinkingSpeck]

To be fair, Brian did give a partial answer to that question - he said as little as 19 months. Offhand I'd say you're looking at somewhere between 2 and 10 years, but I don't have most of the information I'd need to work it out properly.

[@Phantom650]

It's amazing that this guy didn't mention that the driver on the LED however produces more heat than any of the other types of lights combined. The driver gets dangerously hot.

[@JoeMalovich]

+Phantom650 What? the drivers don't get very hot at all, the LED chips can get very hot and they are what needs the heat sink.

[@cortkatanakx1q]

Some people hate the light CFLs emit. Me too.

[@noeltalley2920]

nice lights. But what is the vehicle right behind you?

[@mWaffen]

Thanks Jay for all the info & questions.The representative could not sell lettuce to a rabbit!!!!!

[@blueribb99]

This may be the future of lighting but very few will bite at $78 per bulb. There may also be a cost involved in eliminating the ballasts in every fixture unless you can do it yourself. First generation CFL's were terrible and some did not last as long as incandescent. The reason people see little difference in their electric bills when switching from incandescent is because of the amount of hours per month they are on compared to larger appliances like heat pumps, electric ovens & water heaters

[@Nacman34g]

I like how jay is all strung up on it being American made. Even though all but the actual assembly is made overseas. That's like saying Toyota is American made because they assemble them here in America. "well the trucks at least since they're ASSEMBLY plant is here in San Antonio."

[@PremiumFuelOnly]

Hes got them fancy lights!

[@tgravert]

What I have learned from former Titan employees in that the Titan systems are walking the "Made in the USA" loop holes lines and are really just china made lights being assembled here in the USA. That's better than not, but this is truly China made and not what we really want. Their 90, 000hour ratings are the same long life ratings all LEDs earn based upon tests that are too easy to pass and look great on paper. I remind folks that the CFLs and other fluorescent technology we are seeking to replaced still come in packages that say they will last 7-10 years. LEDs in this same style test methodology get to say "lasts 20 years". The industry's standards are just too easy to pass making it very hard to see what makes a truly good LEDs. To see what makes a better LED one must look much deeper than what Jay and this paid for advertisement by Titan want to get into. You will need to Replace these Titans LEDs in 3-5 years, and that's based upon how the laws of physics do work in this lighting technology. They are running their LEDs way too hot at their Tj / Junction which you can see in a ul-1598 "insitu" test. To stop or even slow the LED droop in these and all other "light loss factored" LEDs and get the 20 years folks are expecting you need to do this different. Planned obsolescence LEDs are what you are seeing in the mainstream and from the big companies and little start ups like Titan. Easy to assemble systems, packaged in easy to close companies that haven't been around as long as their limited warranties claim. They are missing the mark and robbing folks of the greater potential LEDs do have when defined correctly. Tim Gravert

[@cengeb]

New T8 T5 lamps have super efficient lamps, with similar extreme long life...metal halide sucks, always have, glare, horrible color..LED is the next big thing for 20 years, until........LED is lot smaller package and light weight, all good

[@JoeMalovich]

+Tim Gravert Mostly true. They must be under-driving the LEDs to get a 90,000 hour life which is entirely achievable. The cheapest Chinese LED lights do fail quickly (mostly from heat management, no binning, and corrosion issues, but this can't possibly have them a 90,000 hours which is BTW the point where output diminishes below 70%

[@tgravert]

The 90,000hours "ratings" have been created in perfect laboratory conditions. To this day the hottest ambient air temp we are allowed to test in is 25c which is only 77f. This is too easy. The issue is compounded by your underdriving argument. We have no light loss throughout all of these mainstream lighting industry tests. This is made moot thought because everything the IESNA created is only accurate +-10% as they defined things. We have a set of industry leaders telling us the best way to find what we are looking for is to drill at 5'. They know we will not find anything as long as we keep listening.

[@tgravert]

70% is another point to this.It's not applicable for solid state electronics.

[@JoeMalovich]

+Tim Gravert 41F, that's bullshit for a test. It must be 140F in the ceilings of most factory floors in the summer. Way to sway the results Titan...

[@AnthonyNudo]

LOL at the guy on 1:57 !!!

[@centaur1a]

You also forgot to mention that the container with the LEDs weight is much, much lighter than the regular incandescent or halogens bulb too.

[@CONald_is_A_false_Prophet]

$73.89 compared to $3.50 plus rewiring and installation - times how many hundreds of lights in the shop? Jay couldn't decide if he should laugh or faint..

[@outbackyak5949]

haha I agree, the tech will become cheaper over time maybe it will be more comparable in 10 years time.

[@kentcan]

It already has. You can get these now on Amazon or eBay for ONE TENTH of the $73.89 he mentioned five years ago!

[@mattlane2282]

oh do tell us where you are getting that brand led for 7.38...

[@kentcan]

Nobody said anything about brand. Don't be an a$$. But you can get an equivalent T8 led bulb from any of a number of eBay sellers. It will turn electricity into light just like these high-dollar units. Item # 182860452955 is one such sale, for a little over $4/piece.

[@mattlane2282]

Your the "a$$" first that item number can not be found not that I need to see it... lets define "equivalent" "equal in value, amount, function, meaning, etc." EQUAL, in no way is a $4 POS from ebay equal in lumens per watt, led chip quality, just to state the basics... seeing as I can't find that ebay listing you tell me, titan led t8 is using 17 watts while making (clear) 2608 lumens at 5000k and 2419 at 4000k. I'll bet anything your also trying to send a 6500k POS blue led that no one wants... i mean the cheaper one they sell is 18 watts at 2360 (clear) and 2104 (diffused). So by all means please what what kind of "a$$" I am an let me know the specs of that awesome ebay $4 t8. Also let me know what kinda LED's its using... cree, bridgelux, lumileds, etc... I just got a bunch of t12 ones but I could use some f40 t8 replacements and to get something equivalent for $4 each... what a steal (rofl). Go back to school kid. "It will turn electricity into light just like these high-dollar units." do please post that lumen per watt numbers or w/e lumens and wattage (since I did not do the math to get LPW) it they aint as good... it aint turning that electricity into light just like those high-dollar units...

[@Nacman34g]

Oh and by the way if you don't know. Philips is made in China. Love the led market they just need to come down in price for them to take off

[@compactc9]

Nowdays you can get an LED fixture for basically the same price as a fluorescent fixture without the bulbs included, this is the entire light fixture though, and the LED one comes with the LEDs, obviously. I never liked the light that CFLs put off, and was disgusted when the government outlawed regular bulbs and expected us to use them, LEDs I actually prefer over even a normal incandescent light.

[@PistonAvatarGuy]

I have all CFLs in my house, we noticed about a $30 a month savings!

[@cortkatanakx1q]

For reading there isn't better alternative than lightbulb or halogen lightbulb. It's so natural.

[@blueribb99]

Until the bulbs fail or need replacement. Very few people will actually realize any savings at all. When the price per bulb drops to $25 or less, then this becomes a money saver - just like CFL bulbs.

[@zachmichaelg]

Does anyone make an 8' led bulb to replace the 8' florescent bulbs in the shop? They show the 4' in the video. Or do they want you to use (4) of the 4' bulbs to replace (2) of the 8' bulbs ??

[@jasonfifi]
