1. SANSI 27W Omni-directional Ceramic LED Light Bulbs, 4000 Lumens, 5000K Daylight, Non-Dimmable, 5-Year warranty, $24.99: amzn.to/36qMXxO
Lux Light Meter App Reading: 113 Avg - 278 Max
These LED lights have a slight power-on delay that could be annoying to some users. Since these are a lower watt light, we recommend these for areas that have more fixtures. We have 12 of these lights in our 30' x 32' show and the lighting is amazing. We have had these for over a year without any issues. The 5000K color temperature is perfect for working on cars and wiring as the colors show perfectly.
2. 60W Deformable LED Garage Light, 6000 Lumens, 6000K Pure Daylight, Non-Dimmable, 2-Year warranty, $28.95: amzn.to/2uD9xG6
Lux Light Meter App Reading: 252 Avg - 734 Max
These LED lights have a slight power-on delay that could be annoying to some users. There is a good amount of light coming from the fixture with a slight amount of glare when you look right at the bulb. The light seems a bit bluer and that is explained by the color temperature rating of 6000K.
3. SANSI 60W Deformable LED Garage Light, 6000 Lumens, 5000K Daylight, Non-Dimmable, 5-Year warranty, $44.99: amzn.to/2thM3WH
Lux Light Meter App Reading: 456 Avg - 1301 Max
These LED lights do not have a power-on delay and respond like a normal light. They are made out of plastic, but the design does allow the heat from the LED pods to escape upward. Light dissipation is amazing and we have been more than thrilled with these lights in both of our smaller garages for the last two months. Glare is not minimal with this style of light due to the design. They are on the pricier side, but worth the cost.
4. 60w Deformable LED Garage Light, 6000 Lumen, 6000K Pure Daylight, Non-Dimmable, 3-Year warranty, $29.99: amzn.to/2U2OVls
Lux Light Meter App Reading: 266 Avg - 703 Max
These LED lights have a slight power-on delay that could be annoying to some users. They light up the room well in a brighter light that does not seem as blue as some other 6000K models. There is a slight amount of glare when you look right at the bulb.
5. 60W Deformable LED Garage Ceiling Lights, 6000 Lumen, 6000K Pure Daylight, Non-Dimmable, "Lifetime Service", $17.95: amzn.to/36uoWWD
Lux Light Meter App Reading: 231 Avg - 662 Max
These LED lights do not have a power-on delay and respond like a normal light. Out of all the lights we have gone over, if you are sensitive to any bright light or have low ceilings like in a basement, these are the light for you. They are not as bright as other lights, but you can look right at them and see the light fixture in its entirety. It comes with a stem to lower the bulb from the ceiling to keep the wings up a bit.
6. 60W Deformable LED Garage Lights, 6000 Lumens, 6500K Pure Daylight, Non-Dimmable, No warranty Listed, $26.95: amzn.to/38JZnCC
Lux Light Meter App Reading: 244 Avg - 816 Max
These LED lights do not have a power-on delay and respond like a normal light. Because of the light coming from 3 smaller areas, there is a slight amount of glare when you look at them. For a metal wing light, these are the best performers in a 60-watt class.
7. 80W Deformable LED Garage Lights, 8000 Lumens, 6000-6500K Pure Daylight, Non-Dimmable, 2-Year warranty, $37.99: amzn.to/37uDLty
Lux Light Meter App Reading: 303 Avg - 940 Max
These LED lights do have a very slight power-on delay and most would feel they respond very close to a normal light bulb. Out of the ones with a delay, this one is the least noticeable. As we moved up in testing, it was clear that our wattage bumped up.
8. 100W Deformable LED Garage Lights, 10000 Lumens, 6000K Pure Daylight, Non-Dimmable, No warranty Listed, $39.99: amzn.to/3aIOxhP
Lux Light Meter App Reading: 435 Avg - 1322 Max
These LED lights do not have a power-on delay and respond like a normal light. There is more light than the light we list just above this one in the 80-watt form. The 6000K color temperature is not bad and does not feel blue.
9. 120W Deformable LED Garage Lights, 12000 Lumens, 6000K Pure Daylight, Non-Dimmable, No warranty Listed, $36.95: amzn.to/38K1E0C
Lux Light Meter App Reading: 418 Avg - 1394 Max
These LED lights do not have a power-on delay and respond like a normal light. By far, this light outperformed the other lights as one would expect from the wattage. But it did not outperform our #3 light above by that much for the extra wattage used. This light is less expensive to purchase than the #3 above and really did an excellent job of lighting up the area around the light. - Jak na to + styl
Thank you this was a great review! I just wanted to add my experience.... I purchased 4 of the $17.00 white plastic deform-able 60W LEDs from Amazon 6 months ago and have been using them in the garage. When I first bought them, one of the lights did not work well and was dim. I contacted the seller and they provided pre-paid return postage and I received a replacement light in 2 days, before I even sent the old one back. I have been very satisfied for the cost and bought 2 more.
Thank you for being so thorough. With so many choices it can be hard to decide what i need but at least you narrow it down a bit for me.
This is one of the best shop videos I've ever seen. Very well done. Impressively thorough. Thanks for helping me decide on what lighting to get. I'm subscribing.
Holy smokes, was this thorough! Thank you so muchj!
30x36 garage with 9’2” ceiling. Putting fixtures in and trying to figure out how many I should put in and what bulbs to get. There’s so many options out there and so far bar far this is the most helpful video I’ve seen!!
Good information! Thanks for reviewing all these lights. Some great options!
Super presentation, great information and comparison. Thanks for putting the time in on this. liked and subscribed!
Just in time! I'm searching for some light for my workshop and your video is very useful! Thanks much!
Thank you for the very informative and detailed video! I finally made my decision on what light to get thanks to you! Subscribed!
Very thorough review. 👏👏👏👏 Thank you for taking the time to make this for us all.
Wow....what a great review. Excellent review....one of the best reviews (on anything) I have watched on YT...thank you!
Thank you for this excellent, well-researched presentation! I hadn't a clue about LED lights. Now I have an idea of what to look for. I am not looking for a garage light, but rather some additional kitchen light for my small apartment, which only has a single overhead light for the kitchen/living room. I think the Sansai 60 watt deformable will probably best serve my needs. I'll let you know how things work out. Again, thanks for taking the time to put together such an informative presentation :-)
I installed 12 LED 8-inch wafer lights in my 20x24 garage when I redid it and it gives off a ton of bright 5600k light. No blind spots and I only need a small light for some areas under my tools like my bandsaw for shadows... thanks for the reviews I will use one of these in the bedrooms when working in there!
This is by far the best informative light comparison on CZcams. Well done sir!
Thanks Keith!
Great info. Great video. Thank you for sharing this valuable info.
I own #7. I use two in my 32x28 garage with 12 foot white painted walls.They are bright and the movable fins allowed me to push light to the corners. They did have a plastic burning smell when they first started on day one. It went away and hasn’t returned. The power on delay is less than half a second on my tests. If I go out to garage with them on I often think the garage doors are open. They are that bright.
Thank you very much for the test. Great job!
Thank-you very much. Best review out there. The Sansi bulb is pretty expensive now.
Thanks for the great video. Bought the #3 Sansi based on your review. Newest model has an IR sensor that takes the light from 10% to full power on motion. Will be nice in the garage where I'm in and out working on projects.
I have always used SANSI led lights in home and workshop, defenitely it's in good use. SUPPORT!
A great knowledge and information after watching your show. Thanks you.
In the process of finishing my new shop and have been undecided as to what lighting I want. This will help. Thanks
Thanks for making this video! It helped me buy the right led for my garage
I picked up some 20 dollar 4 ft led 5500 lumens from walmart for my garage it's about a 20×30 put plugs in the ceiling, those have come in handy working in there. Put 2 over my work bench and installed 6 total. I like alot of light removed 3 single 8 ft florescent and 5 4 ft double florescent lights. Hand them installed for a year so far I haven't had a single issue. I purchased one to test for about 6 months. Lighting is so much better and in the winter time I have no buzz or dealing with dim lights until they warm up. Helped wire a 60 x 60 building at church 19 foot ridge peak. Purchased some 10000 lumens high bay lights from rualking for 80 apiece per code 10 was all we needed ended up installing 24 of them been about a year no problems with them pushes light to the ground great. Name brand were 300 apiece.
Great review. I just used your link to buy #3.
Just what I needed for info before purchase to light up my 40'x60' burn with 12'ceilling.
You just got yourself another fan!
I have 7 different types of lights in my shop. I found some 100 watt deformable light from AliExpress. 5000K. Metal wings. I paid under $20 delivered. Probably no real warranty. That is most likely what I will gravitate to. Thanks for this type of content. You can’t work on what you can’t see.
Thank you for your hard work and expertise .
Nicely done video. I would have plugged in a kill-a-watt or similar device to measure actual draw though.
Great video as always Brian!!!!
great video and evaluation, thank you!!
I really like what you did today it shows that a simple light socket give out enough light as a set of tubes lights cover more area thank you very much you guys take care and cheers with a beer
Thanks mate , I bought a couple of the cheap deformable anti glare cheap specials in warm white , actually for a large living area and conservatory room as daylight level light . Gets through the short winter days here in the UK . Great review cheers !
how long did they last?
Great video like always👍👍💡💡
best comparison of theses type lights /// perfect ///// thanks
thank you for doing this
Great video, well done!
Thank you so so so so much for this video. Been needing to update my lights in the garage.
On the 17th day of Jan 2021, the best LED wrap for a garage space is the RAB 50watt Gus. 6300 lumens at 4000k. Beautiful light!
It would have been nice to see a standard bulb first as a reference. Be it a 150W incandescent, a standard A19 LED, or indoor flood, etc. Otherwise it was a great comparison. Thanks.
They are useful with a bulb to outlet adapter and extension cord to set up REALLY bright light wherever you need it too temporarily. Way cheaper than a lot of stand alone work lights.
I'd give you a million thumbs up for this video review if I could. EXCELLENT!!! Thank you!
1 Well organized-- use of the smartphone app provided a consistent performance measure.
2 It would help viewers to see a brand or model name on the screen title inset, so we easily can compare its video segment with the table on your website.
3 Good analysis, especially with anticipated applications /environments.
4 Mention of cost and warranty very helpful
5 Especially liked your good control of audio for level and clarity, and the opening signature theme is exactly right.
Surprisingly, many of the LED products reviewed do not have a warranty, despite their higher cost compared with standard fluorescents.
We share your dislike of fluorescent bulbs, not only their occasional hum or buzz, but the fact they produce a significant amount of UV. radiation, which is not good for the eyes, long term. The UV-emitting overhead lighting in a big-box store damages product packaging colors-- most colors are faded.
Fluorescents have ruled the environment of offices, factories and schools for more than 80 years, and it is certainly time to adopt new lighting technology-- particularly when LED light is better controlled for undesirable radiation and desirable color spectrum. All other factors equal, the energy/cost savings, alone, justify the switch.
* We liked and subscribed.
Flipping the switch ON and the light going off is bugging me lol.
Great vid!
Sorry, 3 way switch. I was happy I could turn them on from the garage and should have put the switch in the proper position for the video.
Thank you so much for your time and efforts. Very helpful... maybe I won't end up with another basket full of lights I don't like this time.
Great content! Thank you
Awesome video thank you
I replaced 4 led bulbs with 4 of the cheap plastic deforambles and it made a huge difference. I then went a little further, and added two more receptacles. This is in a 20x30 shop. I'll probably get a tan working in there.
Awesome video
I think I would like to hear at the end what lites you have in your shop. I just installed 6 LED 48 in lites in my wood shop for $54 and they are fantastic. I am sold on these.
Awesome, this helped me a lot on my purchase. I was on the fence on which model to go with, but decided on the white plastic 4 arm with center light.
Thank you...
I just did the same !
How do you like it so far?
Great review.
Awesome video...just what I was looking for. Low ceilings in my garage with not a lot of light..i have two of those stick/magnet on the wall light switches style LEDs that im using. Well done. Went with 5 but never found the links area you talked about.
In the description of the video.
Thanks for doing this,I now have a much better idea what I want!
Commented awhile ago, and decided to add some further info. I took your recommendation and purchased a pair of the SANSI (#3) and the one unit I immediately used, is still rocking! During this period, the #9 lamp you demo, the type I first purchased four of from Amazon, including the 4 replacements GHUSTAR replaced, have finally COMPLETELY failed. Oct 11 2020 was the first day I installed the first 4, Oct 12, the first of 4 failed. Nov. 4, '20 was the 2nd dead. As of March 17, '21, every single one died, and GHUSTAR is not honoring the lifetime warranty it appears. $36.95 x 4, plus four replacements, dead in under ONE YEARS 2-3hr/day use. Thanks for your excellent video, and especially for the #3 suggestion. I'll be replacing the temporary standard LED bulbs I'm using today with SANSI this time around.
Thank you for posting! I have a lot of Sansi around my house now and they have been serving me well. Knock on wood.
I just had 2 of these in my cart! I'm glad I read your comment. Thank you
I have a good start
I got some led lights for the garage
Now i need a garage.
I'm incredibly jealous of your garage flooring. And the drain! Genius.
Thank you. We did that last year after the Bosch Table 1 vacuum review and floor grinding.
Surprised! Most building codes don't allow drains in a garage to avoid having gas or oil seep into the sewer system.
Found your video was a well balanced review. There are so many variations that it has become totally confusing. I am hoping you can give me some advice on what I really need. I've been looking to replace 6x4' fluorescent batten lights in the main part of the workshop and a single 5' with LED lighting for my workshop. I do woodturning, pen turning and smaller craft objects so I need a really good lighting situation that the fluorescent lights are not really achieving.
Workshop Structure =Wood, 20'x15'x 8', 3 small windows on the front giving very little light. I use a number of wood preparation tools, planners, benchtop drill, over and under planner, scroll saw, bandsaws wood and metal, spindle sander and lathes. These are all situated around the outer inside walls, centre part is taken up with my workbench and Kity circular saw.
I hope this isn't to much, I would appreciate any help you can give.
Thank you
Andrew
STAY SAFE.
I was excited to see this and immediately went on Amazon and ordered the 120 watts one. I was very disappointed with it. I've been using a Toplimit 5 in 1 splitter from Amazon with 5 cheap 100 watt bright white LED bulbs in it in our attached garage. The cheap Philips bulbs were like $6 each and produce 1600 lumens each so the five put out about 8000 lumens. The 5 bulb setup blows this thing away! They are brighter and more importantly, the distribution of light is much better with the regular LED bulbs.
Wow. I have a 3 bulb splitter and that sucks compared to any of these lights. Did you download the app and get readings? Makes me wonder because my sample size was 1 of each of these lights.
VERY NICE VID.
Great presentation. I am going with the Sansi 60W. I have a 22 X 22 ft garage and was wondering what you thought about installing 2 of these.
Nice 242LS you have there!!!
Good video
Just bought two, 5 wing, 15000 lumen, 150 watt lights similar to #9 on your list. Fingers crossed for some brightness to my garage!!
Those should be bright!
(advance post script. I went ahead and ordered a pair of the #3 units. I watched more closely, your vid, great information, far exceeds any I've been watching today)
Looking for a good illumination and long lifetime. I have been using the #2 bulb since around Oct.10/20. At that time I purchased 4 units. One of the 'petals' died on the second day, less than an hour use. The remaining petals continued for about a week or so, beginning with a strobe/flicker, and after about a minute, the panel that was flashing first failed, and seconds later a flash and the entire thing was done. Amazon replaced it. Yesterday, January 21, while in garage for a couple hours, I saw a flickering, and one of the original purchased units began a flicker, and before I could get my phone to video it, it died. And an hour later, the entire thing failed. Just sent it back for replacement. DO you have longevity info about any of the others? I see that you reported #1 being good for a year. But I'm most interested in #3 and #8, and maybe #9, based on the images around 1:50. Brightest. Thx.
Great review. But--none are dimmable? Any ideas on garage solutions that have to work with a standard dimmer wall switch (lutron caseta in my case)?
I find 5k tends to be too harsh on the eyes if your doing something where your straining your eyes for long periods or time. 5 k seems to be brighter even though it’s just amplifying the light colors in the room. 4K I feel is the sweet spot super bright but has just a pinch of softness my eyes don’t feel the strain after working under them for periods of the tim
Great review, went with #5. I am Installing in locations with low ceiling.
Hi! Thanks for the well-presented LED info. I am putting in a Pet Grooming Studio into our shop, where I require bright light, & shadows are to be avoided at all costs. I prefer not to have to do any additional wiring. The area is 11'W x 23'L x 12' H, & there is a 3' x 4' windows on either end, so lots of natural light.
Currently there are 3 standard wall-mount fixtures which each hold 2 60 W bulbs. I am interested in the 2 plastic lights you reviewed. Can a wall-mount fixture support the weight of these lights? Would you be able to place 2 of them into one fixture? I have always used Fluorescent lighting in the past - how does LED compare? Which light do you recommend? Thanks for any info you can offer...
It would have been great to actually measure the power consumed by the various lights tested. Just because it says 60 watts, doesn't mean that's what it really uses at the voltage you have. I would think the driver devices inside these units would handle differences in voltage that would not affect the net result of power used.
I have a one car garage with ones socket- low standard ceiling-what would be best for lighting
I would love to see the same video but for outdoor lights. Great job 👍
I would be happy to. Can you give me some examples? Like spotlights, motion lights, ect
@@WorkshopAddict it would be nice to see one for lighting up a large area (like a back yard) and also something you'd put above the outside of a garage door or barn door. Built in motion or photocell would be cool but not necessary
@@TommyTench I will see what I can do.
Thanks for the very informative video! My garage has interior wall-to-wall measurements of approximately 23'-4" x 29'-4" and a 9'-4" ceiling height with 4 standard light sockets. I definitely prefer the quality of 5000K over the 6000-6500K. I use my garage as a woodworking shop so good bright light is important. Wondering which LED fixtures you would recommend? Thanks!
I would search out a deformable at 5K and go with it. There is a list in the description that might help. I believe #8 was good.
Great video with a ton of information Grazie! My sons and I work on Harley’s in our garage. We have two outlets. The ceilings are pretty basic around 15 feet. Which one do you suggest? I like #3 & #9. What say you?
#3 have done me well.
Awesome video , unfortunately i clicked on the link for number 3 light you reviewed and said it was the same light you use and it took me to a different light then what you had . Do you know where else i might be able to find it ?
Great job reviewing these! In the market so this came in handy. Question: I have a auto motion detector on the fixture I want to install these on. Do you think it will work?
It should
#3 the clear victor
So what lights are you using when you're recording your summary? That place looks lit AF. When are we taking the jet boat out?
Hi. I have a big room and need advice. Since all places are close. I need to buy a light bulb that would be bright white enough to help my eyesight when studying. Need brightness.which lumen bulb would you recommend. Please
LOL....what lights are in your shop, where you are standing? How tall is the ceiling and would you recommend those lights? Is there glare from those lights? Well done!
I have watched your light review, great info. I am building a new home with a 24’ x 36’ garage with 9’ ceilings. The spec sheet calls for led tube lighting however I have had deformable lighting in my last garage and loved it. As a result they are instead installing 6 locations evenly spaced where I can install non-tube lights. I want the garage well lit (I have poor vision) but not over powering and would be interested in your thoughts. Ceiling and walls will be white or at least very light. PK
I have a 32 by 32 garage and I have 3 rows of 5 kits, all led deformables. It is very well lit and I would not change it.
Was radio frequency (RF) interference of the led lights tested? I know some lights interfere with garage door openers.
Great video with one exception. We a Sansi followed by this light, this light and this light and finally mac daddy. Makes it difficult to shop.
Any way I want to buy some mac dadys. Name? Please. Thank you
Please, on your next rating of the LED lights, have some info on tolerance to moisture and humidity. Here you have it in a residential garage. What about a barn, farm and shop setting. All of which would likely have higher levels of moisture than a residential setting. This video was very well done and informative. I've been searching for such, for my lighting needs.
I have #8 in my pole building without issue. That stores our tractors and is not sealed well or insulated. Working well.
Thanks.
Just buy 8' four lamp strips. Scrap the ballasts and install LED lamps. 43.00 for the strip 30.00 for the lamps. Pick your favorite color temp. Done. Last 5 years.
What would you recommend for a 54 x 54 Morton building with six fixtures at 16' high?
Is there any light that can screw into socket in the garage door opener light box receptacle?
Can you update your notes to include the brand names in the comments of the reviewed lights. Some of the amazon page links no longer work, or are out of stock. With the brand names we can search to find the new page and/or updated model?
I have a 24x24 two-car garage with 10ft ceilings and two evenly spaced fixtures on either side of the opener in the center. Currently there are two horrible compact fluorescent bulbs so plenty of room for improvement. I don't expect to do a lot of work out there, but I want the option of having good light when I do. I don't mind a delay if it means a good light. What do you recommend? Thanks!
#3 is what I have in a similar situation. They are inexpensive and work great.
what color are the garage walls? I love that gray color!
I have a 4 car garage and have two rows of lights. The front row has 4 regular bulb outlets and the back row has two outlets on the left and the right and two ceiling fans in the middle. What light works best for this set up?
How high are the ceilings? If they are around 10 feet I would go with #3 amzn.to/2thM3WH
I bought two of the # 3 units (at 3:48). I screwed one into my overhead porcelain garage fixture. On the fixture, the porcelain body of the fixture is lower than the metal threaded portion that one screws the bulb into, and prevents the contact on the bulb from contacting the electrical contact in the fixture. The collar around the threaded portion of the light is too "fat". Disappointed.
So which is the brightest
any ideas for ceiling fan lights?
How about the garage door opener remote response? My garage doors will not respond to the remote if my LED's are on. I usually keep them off unless i am working on a car or a project.
You should not have an issue with newer LED lights. I did not have an issue with any of these. There are places where led's can cause issue and that is if they are screwed directly into the garage door opener.
Paint your walls and ceiling, gloss white you’ll have all the light you need.
Hello, I have a white painted shop with 5 light sockets. But the one I ordered get a shade on the celing. Witch one would create less shade on my 12’ ceiling you think? Thanks!!!!
I do not know what you ordered, but any deformable might work well with a cobb light. Check out our video of this shop. It is hard to tell the difference with the camera, but it is nice. czcams.com/video/D8o5nEtAzlc/video.html
Really appreciate this review/comparison video! I need to "re-think" the lighting in my garage/workshop from the ground-up (err, ceiling-down?) - in the mean-time, a quick swap of the current single high-wattage fixture to one of these seems like an ideal compromise. I just ordered #3 and look forward to having it installed by the weekend. The current high-wattage compact florescent I've had mounted for years has always made me a little nervous (extreme heat), and I know it's pulling a lot more power than I should be using to light that area. Until I have time to revisit lighting the entire area with a more robust, distributed solution; this is a great interim step to save some electricity and get rid of that ceiling-mounted-space-heater light I have now. Thanks again!
Oh! And for those shopping around, right now there is an automatic 15% coupon for the #3 light, bringing the price down to $38. At least there was for me -- However amazon's algorithms work... your mileage/discount may vary.
We really like the #3 lights in our garage. Let us know how you feel once you get them installed!
@@WorkshopAddict Installed tonight and just came in from testing. Using same app (but obviously different phone, so values may differ -- but the relative increase in light is obvious) -- With old light I measured a min/avg/max of 2/68/114... With new #3 light I measured 4/270/730!
Those minimum values are from about 1/4 of the garage which lies in shadow between the overhead light and some overhead/hanging storage - the only way to fix for that area will be to install more lights (well, or remove the overheard storage, but that's not happ'nin!). :)
My long-term plan is to completely overhaul the garage lighting and install multiple fixtures -- but this is a great interim step just to bridge the time between now and then. Especially with the amazon coupon knocking the price down, this was a no-brainer for a great upgrade.
Thanks again for the great video!
@@cdrice999 Awesome! Thanks for the update! We have a large difference between max numbers between our phones with those lights.
@@WorkshopAddict Indeed. Part of that is likely due to phone sensor differences; but another bit is likely from a combination of my 10' ceilings, and I have the wings swept "up" quite a bit to try and cast light in all directions vs. more of a flat/downward-facing angle. I may try to experiment with the angle of the wings a bit to see how much of a difference it makes to the furthest corners vs. directly below.
I have a small one car garage with 9 foot ceiling with one light outlet in the center. Which light would you recommend?
The 4 blade one with the highest wattage. I think it was the last one.
