New Corn Style LED Bulbs Vs Deformable LED Lights From Amazon | What Is The Best LED Light?

[@zachsmith7612]

You could make a video about paint drying and I'd watch it. You're one of my favorite youtubers

[@WorkshopAddict]

Thank you, but I sure hope I never do a video showing paint drying.

[@stans5270]

Much more light than a 60-watt incandescent bulb.

[@aux1z11]

I have a 30x50x12 polebarn and thinking about getting these cob lights and was thinking doing 3 rows left right and center 5 lights per row with aluminum light domes , would you say I would have good lighting if I did that ?

[@cohall46]

for the lighting of you in this video I like your original lighting.

[@WorkshopAddict]

While editing, I seen that and agree with you that the video shows the deformable as better light. But that is not the case as the camera adjusted the ISO due to how bright the new lights are and make it seem darker near the floor. Not the case in the real world.

[@tomprovan50]

I ordered a corn cob light from amazon it does not fit a regular receptacle what would I get to use it in thanks

[@markfritz315]

There are also corn cob lights with LEDs on the bottom as well to light up directly under it. I have them in my garage and they work great.

[@WorkshopAddict]

That would be awesome, but I fear it would inhibit the cooling. These have vents on the bottom and top.

Best light/bulb review I've seen. Also, my shop is the same size as yours, so this was perfect. Thanks!

[@anthonykeane154]

Brilliant. I've been planning to upgrade my garage lights, now I've got two options thanks for the review. 😎👍

Great channel... Maybe you can help with my LED/Garage opener quandary: I replaced six standard incandescent bulbs in the ceiling fixtures of my garage with winged, adjustable LEDs (no bulbs in openers). What a difference in illumination over the previous incandescent bulbs. However, when the lights are turned on the LiftMaster openers will not operate with a remote (inside or outside, all LiftMaster remotes AND vehicle programmed). The openers operate perfectly if the lights are off. I have insulated the antenna wires and electrical cords with Ferrite Core and extended the antenna wires through the garage wall to the exterior with no change. The only way to open the garage doors with remotes is to be sure the lights are turned off. Most manufacturers of the adjustable, winged LED bulbs advertise their use in a garage but, I have not come across others with this problem.

[@WorkshopAddict]

The lights you have are interfering with your garage door signal. The older ones were poor and would do that, but anymore we rarely see it.

[@warrior5890]

I have a 3 car garage that I do some basic mechanic work and also some light woodworking. Right now in the middle of the garage there is a row of 3 lights spaced out and that's it. The walls are painted dark as well which doesn't help and right now I have to open the garage just to get good light. Any recommendations for my scenario?

[@WorkshopAddict]

Wow. That's bad. I would recommend you add more outlets, but if you cannot, they make E26 strip lighting that would allow you to take light to the other side of the garage by connecting the strips.

[@bobseguin2195]

I use 4, 27w corn leds in my 9ft high shop ceiling, perfect, nice and bright, but not over bering..............thanks for the video......

[@rogerthat24]

I just use a 3-socket splitter from a single e26 socket and use three 10w white light LED bulbs. It spreads out the light pretty evenly while keeping it really bright.

[@WorkshopAddict]

We have a video with our light meter showing it does work, but nothing like any of the other lights. Link is in the description to that video.

[@poiiihy]

plus you can get those cheap

[@Rebel9668]

I fortunately painted my single car cinder block wall garage white inside a few years ago including the ceiling below the joists so 3 standard 9watt LED bulbs seem to light it up plenty bright enough for me. That being said, on one side of the garage I have workbenches lining the whole length of wall and have 3 sets of old fashioned 4ft florescent shop lights above the benches as well, one old enough to still be ballast driven. When they eventually wear out should I convert those from the standard T12 40w "bulbs" to LED or is it worth the bother? They seem to give off plenty of light just the way they are.

[@aaronpantell1038]

So we have cob lights set up in our conex at work and the ones we have,have an led cluster on the bottom of the cob.you get the best of both.

[@WorkshopAddict]

I stayed away from those in this situation because these have cooling that goes from the bottom to the top. These are not expensive, so the hope is that they might last longer.

[@AOAvina]

Maybe find some reflectors and it would help it direct it down?

[@bahbarino4479]

Are those speakers in the rafters 👍🏻

[@WorkshopAddict]

Yes they are. So perfect too!

[@robertstoneking7916]

The cob lights are twice the output of the deformables which can be used folded up like the cob lights or different leaves on different angles and the better metal ones can dissipate heat better. Complicated but with a low ceiling use strip lights or lights with diffusers.

[@chonghan1519]

Thank you for making this video. I currently have two deformables in my 2 car garage. At first i was happy with them but after moving equipment and tool boxes etc in i got a alot of shadows. So I went ahead and ordered one of the cobb lights in the video to try out. I think its gonna work great after seeing your review. 👍👍👍

[@lunchie80]

Painting inside walls in white or a light colour will also massively improve visibility in a workshop. Reflected light from the huge while surfaces(walls/roof) will fill in shadows as well.

[@btrswt35]

My go to right now are ballast bypass, direct wire led tubes. The single biggest problem I have with these kinds of bulbs is if the driver goes out, the whole light is probably garbage (I'll be honest and say I'm not sure if the driver is replaceable or not). For $30-$40 I a cheap shop light could be bought along with a couple direct wire LEDs. With a little time it can be rewired and the troffer offers a longer, reflective surface to direct the light down. If one of the bulbs go out, it's as easy as twist one out and twist one in for less than $10-$15.

[@WorkshopAddict]

I will be going this way in my main shop when my bulbs start to burn out. I am also going to add some more direction deformables around the lift.

[@jamesm568]

If you want the entire shop lit up then the corn lights are your best bet. Now if you need a concentration of light in a certain area then you move to an adjustable type of light.

[@islandcharlie7132]

I have my OSB walls up. Paint or no paint?

[@WorkshopAddict]

Paint will help with light, but I don't like the look of OSB painted.

[@charlieroder9349]

I don’t like OSB painted either. I think I’m going to paint down 4 foot to help with light, and leave the rest.

[@Brian.8272]

What’s the best way to bring your deformable light down from the ceiling because I’ve got 15 foot ceilings? Do they make a pole that could be screwed in

[@WorkshopAddict]

They do make extensions. amzn.to/3ulFkbJ How far to you want to come down?

[@rogeers2167]

I have been using both type for a long time and yet I still end up watching the whole vid...lol

[@WorkshopAddict]

What ones do you like better?

[@rogeers2167]

@@WorkshopAddict It depends really the large bulb I have is only a 24w suppose to replicate a 200 w bulb to light the garage then I use the multi directional above my work bench. The large led you got is 5x larger than what I have.

[@pprfleming]

I ordered similar 200 watt deformable LEDs for my garage and with a kill-a-watt they measured 65 watts! I returned them and went with 5 100 watt LED corn lights that measure 95 watts each with the kill-a-watt and produce 15000 lumens (TSEXES on Amazon). I added 10.5 inch aluminum reflectors dis-assembled from "brooder lights" available at Home Depot to help direct the light.

[@aux1z11]

I was thinking to go to the farm store and buy 15 brooder lights and put these cob lights in them and hang them up 12ft high in my polebarn to get more reflection, how's is yours working out ?

[@pprfleming]

@@aux1z11 The reflectors work great! I also have 12 ft ceilings, the lighting is much improved.

[@colinstu]

Now you just need a light that combines the two, lol.

[@WorkshopAddict]

That would be cool!

[@dagwood1327]

I have the deformable in my shop now. I had the corn cob type before. I get better light with the deformable. The cob light lasted just under a year. They burn out in stages. Half a cob at a time. The deformable have been up over a year. We will see.

[@WorkshopAddict]

Don't change what works for you! These are big lights and I keep trying things to find the most light that is comfortable for me. Glad they are working for you!

[@thomasvikoren3981]

Can you plug each of these into a kill-a-watt and see what their actual wattage is and how it compares to advertised. If you can do that on future vids it would be great. I have found, for example, a "300w 30,000 lumen" spot light I purchased from amazon only drew 108 watts.

The LED garage lights are great for doing KZbin videos.

[@FishFind3000]

Biggest issue the the shit that runs the leds die and you spend all this extra money just to replace it as fast or faster than a halogen. You get what you pay for when you buy cheap. High quality leds aren’t cheap.

[@WorkshopAddict]

I agree to a point. I have never had one of these fail and I have 60 or so different models of cheap LEDs.

CAUTION when installing these corn lights in your garage over a vehicle. I installed my corn light in my garage a few years ago when I owned an older white vehicle, everything was fine, then recently when I bought a brand new dark burgundy colored car I could not figure out where tiny drops of "white varnish like specks " that were dripping down on my car were coming from. Many days I would turn on my other regular bulb ceiling light when going into the garage and many days I would turn on the corn light, not realizing at first that the use of the corn light coincided with seeing little white specs on my car. One day it dawned on me that it might be the corn light so I only used the regular bulb light with no white specs on my new car. I then goggled info on these corn lights and found out that many use a fluid in them to keep the LEDs cool , and sometimes they will leak the fluid out.

[@mach51]

Obvious in the video that the new lights were focusing out to the sides and not down. Id stick with the old ones.

[@WorkshopAddict]

I get how it look on video. In the real worl, it looks different. The ISO on the camera changed due to the bright light high and made it look dim at the floor. Not the case.

[@pmgodfrey]

I have six ballast style 40" fluorescent fixtures in my garage with LED's. It's bright, and I hate it. I much prefer soft incandescent, but I'd need about 24 of them and it'd get rather hot. I have 36 recessed lighting fixtures in the basement...now I need to install a second air conditioner. I hate LED's (they don't dim well) and I HATE fluorescent lighting.

[@stu-po]

I can't help think that if the ceiling had wallboard, or even just a piece of wallboard around the base, that even more light would reflect down to the work areas. And read better on your meter.

[@WorkshopAddict]

You are right. I said it in the video also. Even painted walls would have helped. It is hard to show how much more light and how much more comfortable it is to be in there now without being under the spot light.

[@davidclark155]

These both seem like outdated technology. For that large of a space you should use a highbay led fixture. Hyperikon make cheap UFO style that would fit the space and light the area much better. Plus with led chip technology that last for a lot more years.

[@bestamerica]

' my home garage is the all full fluorescent tubes... both are 48 in / 96 in... much better

[@dhansel4835]

They need to have a waterproof lights so you can put them outside.

[@jarexxsuvexx8212]

🤨Yeah and those 150watts corn bulbs will massive money gobblers if you are someone concern about cutting down on your electricity bill. If your not concerned about your electricity bill and are easily frighten by anything that goes over $70 per month (like me😬) then by all means order 8 or more right away.

[@thelovertunisia]

There is another type of high power led Bulbs we use here in shops in Tunisia they are not cob but SMD with diffusor up to 100 watt and they diffuse the light even better than cobs. They problem with cobs is you can see the actual led chips but with a diffusor they are hidden.

[@xephael3485]

Comparing 150 w to a 60 w bulb is stupid, what's the point of this video?

[@4dchessplayer516]

you can tell the light does not travel well to the bottom.
