Best Quality, Brightness, Color for your Buck!
After much review and sifting the many results of Amazon high bay lights, I settled on these units from Hykolity for reasons of best price, solid technical details for designing my layout, and overall good history with customers. I have a 50'x84' shop that I wanted to replace some dim florescent lighting with, and these seemed to fit the need for producing the needed light with as little units as possible. I Was able to replace 6x 8' florescent assemblies with only 4x of these 150w high bay lights. The great part is, it was just a replacement, it was a vast improvement. My shop is very well lit now in my center area where I placed these lights. I put them at 16' high, in my center area which is about 40x50 of the shop footprint. The lighting is very well covered and the only extra lights I've added were just small units above my workbench for an extra kick of light with fine working on the bench itself. Every time I turn the lights on it puts a smile on my face. very rewarding to install these and just have instant on great color tone brightness. These are 5000k, and nice bright color, but with some warmth in the tone, not the cold blue 6000k+ color which would leave my shop feeling like a meat locker. Installation was fairly simple. I bought some light chain and wood screw hooks from a box hardware store, and hung them from a beam in the placement I thought to be best for overall coverage between 4 units and a total of 40'x50' area needing light. I chose to install a single gang outlet to simply plug in the light and have the circuit switched. Installing the standard plug isn't bad, but I recommend taking your time and ensure your wires aren't too long inside the provided connector. It's just enough room to connect them and close up the connector enough to compress the o-ring for moisture sealing. I was able to do this fine for all 4 units, but just take it easy and you'll get through. Pay attention to the markings on the end of the plug where the prongs are, this indicates which wires are labeled what. On the connector next to the screw terminal, you'll see the corresponding symbol. Can use your multi meter to validate selected wire to the right pin on your plug as well to match the color of the wire to the pin. Units came with instructions as well.
