I ordered this after your recommendation - amazing. We only have one light fixture in our two-car garage, and it was very inadequate. Not being handy like you, and not having access to the space above the garage, we couldn’t add additional fixtures - BUT, just one of these lights has made a world of difference. Thanks for the tip.

Absolutely fantastic! I have read a number of (less than appreciative) comments. All I can say is: "They totally don't get it!" It's not just about how to change a light bulb, it's about how a great guy took his time to spend HOURS videoing (recording) a phenomenal amount of footage, editing, digital splicing, audio management, etc. to put this video together in addition to the research and investigation into the final selection PLUS the before and after results. I VERY much appreciate what you have done. Thanks! I did, however, purchase a different model... 140 watts, 18,500 lumens 6000K daylight (and a pair of sunglasses). Only needed one for the one socket in the ceiling of our house garage... I think it instantly killed all vermin that possibly had taken up residence! LOL Thanks again! -Woodprobie

My house was built in 1969. 2 incandescent light bulbs for the 2 bay garage. VERY DIM!!! Even with 250 watt flood lights. When LED shop lights came out that would work in the New England winters I installed 4 for a much better situation. Then I saw these and realized I still had the original screw sockets hanging around. Added these and just about doubled the intensity! Well recommended.

I also find it crazy when someone builds a garage and puts two light in it. My garage is about the same size as yours and I had two lights and one outlet. Several year ago (before LEDs) I added florescent lights and this year I wired in some LEDs, BIG improvement. Keep up the good work.

[@BIgSteveWhacko]

Unless it is a custom built home, the builder is going to cut costs where they can. A few lights in the basement, maybe 2 in the attic, cheap bathroom fan, minimum receptacles just enough to meet code. Anything more eats into profit margins. And for most people, 4 lights in the garage is fine. Enough light to let them see where they are going from the car to the door. Nobody is going to rough in 60 amps of circuits into a garage on a spec house.

Nice video! Another option are LED corn bulbs. Different lighting pattern than the ones you used as they shine light from a 360 degree array of LED's. A good "Made in USA" company that manufactures these is Hyperikon. They offer a great no-hassle 5 year warranty. They make a 54W LED, E26 corn bulb. It puts out a little less than 7000 lumens. I believe you can be confident that is a real and accurate lumen measurement for these bulbs. I have 5 of these in my basement. With white walls they do a fantastic job. Still going strong after 3 years of daily use.

I started using a couple of Y adapters with LED light bulbs in them. I’ve done 4 in a single socket. It puts out way more light for way less money. The led’s use so much less power than a 60 watt or 100 watt bulb that I’m not overloading anything. The also seem less harsh and directional than these type. I bought some last year and returned them as they weren’t as bright as a bunch of led lights and Y’s

Really? RF energy from the replacement light fixture is the cause of the circuit board burn out? Having a very serious background in commercial broadcasting where RF output is well understood, designing a number of serious antenna arrays which put out a SIGNIFICANT amount of RF energy than what this light fixture could possibly disperse, I am left in a seriously amused state by your findings!! I think you might want to report your experience to the FCC and Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms! I look forward to reading about it!

The good news is I don't need lights in the garage anymore since I'm now blind. I love the lumens, but I feel they need to be a bit more diffuse for my family.
