I found these lights on my buddy's TH-cam channel and he lives a few miles from me and oh ya they are worth the money and are awesome 👍🏽. I got 8 of them and they are great.
Cool, looks great. Fyi was waiting for you to get to... left out the 2 most important things regarding led lights - 1st lumens for brightness (you spoke about old school "watts" which really no longer mean anything) and 2nd ... color temp... of which some lights have a variable setting for 4/5/6.5 K which is super cool. But these 2 specs are the most important factors along with dispersion patterns in shape and degrees of radius at a given height
5k color and 21k lumens per light. The watts I was referring to for conversion to amps. That is important since I was referring to wiring and breaker loads.
Now THIS is the kind of influencer video review we need. This guy knows what he wants, what he expects, and how it should work. Anyone who's watched the ice maker testing knows this is a guy all about results and numbers, not just feelings and guesswork. If he's not getting what he wanted from these lights, he will say so and have a list of what's wrong. And we didn't get that because the product does what it claims to do. And we can all see it. So this is a relevant product in the hands of someone actually qualified to use it. Can't ask for better.
Can you see the leds if you look up? I just bought another brand and got a few to test out and if you look up and then look away you can see the leeds in your eyes for at least 10 min. I got them sized by a company so they should be right for my space.
I worked installing Home Depot Led,s high bay lights . They are set higher than that and come with dimmer sensor to adjust to daylight.Newer ones have motion sensors and are connected via internet to the main HD headquarters for data storage...Soon they will know how many times employees take a shit . And will track when merchandise is out in the shelves or leaves the store without paying for it ...Crazy times
Look into spotlights you can aim at spots that you need good lights like at a work station. A wall switch near a work station that you can turn on/off some spot lights to give you no shadows can be very useful. How nice would it be to have good lights at a drill press? On the bench grinder? Look into Wago style wire nuts with the amount of electrical work you are going to be doing soon. The ability to be able to sit at a table/bench and wire up all the switches and outlets with pig tails so you can quickly get them into the boxes with the lever style connectors. Check with the inspector if they are on the approved list first as it would suck to spend on them then need to go back and redo every connection simply because a code hasn't been updated to allow them. I thought you don't want jacketed cable inside conduit as it can build up heat inside the pipe.
Kelly 20amp breaker is turning your extension cord into a fusible link. 12g wire is great but your breaker must be the weakest link in your circuit not one of the strongest. I suggest a 10amp breaker if you can get them if not, 15amp.
I should have been more clear. 20 Amp breaker feeds two different outlets. Those outlets supply two lights, plus two separate extension cords that feed two more 1.6 Amp lights. There is no risk of overloading anything.
You want the breaker to protect the circiut(s). If your max load is 1.6 amps then you want a 2.0 amp breaker [which the don't make]. You want the lowest amperage breaker that supports your nominal load. The 12g wire goes with the 20amp breaker yes but the xtension cords & lights themselves are your weak links. If something shorts down stream of the extension cords or within a light they could start a fire without tripping your 20amp breaker.
Thanks a lot for taking the time and effort to make this video! I am having a hard time finding videos where people are using these high bay LED lights with the optional diffusers / reflectors. I guess not many people must know yet they could be a nice addition to reduce spotlight glare and spread the light out more evenly. Perhaps you would want to try some and see the difference and shoot a video (perhaps others would like to see as well)... I ordered some high bay lights and diffusers for my shop but they have not arrived yet, was just looking for some videos showing lights with diffusers.
@@matrixmatico695 I bought the Hyperlite diffusers (clear lense, not milky lense) on Amazon, a few 2-packs for $90, and a 4-pack for $190. Just search Amazon for title: 'HYPERLITE 60 Degree PC Reflector ONLY for Hero Series LED High Bay Light (Clear with Cover)2-Pack'.. I'm happy I got the diffusers though, the light is much more evenly spread out. Also helps that the walls and ceiling of my shop are white (with the vapor barrier), white interior helps reflect the light around better., there's no shadow in there, even when lights turned down to full dim on the dimmer.
@@ojwilks I got 12 RAE...180 watts .20 k lumens .. I left the diffusers just got 7 and 2 broke in my truck. Got them when upgraded a shop...They are 400 dlls new . They are practically new . They are rated for 100k hours. I though diffuser was not importan. Thanks for the info . I might look for a cheap one ...RAE original cost 60 dlls each
@@matrixmatico695 Yeah, try a couple out on one end of the shop first, see how they work for you. They make the light not so spotlight-like, bleeds a little light up to the ceiling to light up my white ceiling and reflect more, and they bleed a lot more light to the sides, no hotspot down onto the floor right underneath the light fixture..
Have you noticed a difference in power consumption? Planing on changing my 8 ft fluorescent lights to these, but 150 watts seems like a lot times 6 lights.
Yes, those 4 high bay lights pull about 150-200 more watts than my 10 4ft lights. But, they are also brighter than my 10 lights. In total I'm pulling right at 1000 watts with all of them on.
I have the same style building slightly smaller 30x30 12ft walls 10ft doors have some huskey 5 bulb ligjys 3 sets it pretty good for now but I like alot of light for working I think 6 of those hyper lights might do me good but 9 would be way bright. Thanks for the review and as always great content.
@@TKCL i emailed the company to see what they have to say like I said I like it bright. I haven't ran any permanent light wiring yet or permanent lighting. So this review was perfect timing for me.
It's been longer than that and I absolutely love them, zero issues and very bright. I added a similar style they make to my newest pole barn and love those as well. Highly recommend them!
Hey there. I've seen this video but I'm coming back to it because our barn is about to have electrical. Do you still like the lights? I saw you went with the 150w. How tall is your barn? Thanks!
14ft tall walls and I still love them. They are very bright so don't go overboard. They are perfect for welding or really needing to see what you are working on.
@@TKCL My bad, I paused the video on their diagram and saw mount height. Ours is 20-25ft depending where electrician mounts outlets, so I'm probably going with the 200-250w. Thanks for the reply!
What spray insulation did you use on your ceiling and do you think it helps? I'm in FL as well and my 30x40 shop is going up next month. thanks for any feedback.
Closed cell since it's also a vapor barrier as well. I'd recommend that if going directly over tin. It's still hot being in Florida, but it made a big difference in my opinion. I had my shop a few weeks before the spray foam guy came out so I was able to compare it.
Hey I'm curious about why you did the insulation on the roof of your shop? I have shop and when it rains, it's crazy loud in there, I was thinking a ways to lessen the noise. Does the insulation help with heat or rain noise?
It's still loud, but it definitely helps with rain. The main reason for insulation in the roof was because that's where the majority of the sun hits and was the hottest part of the building. You can now put your hand on the foam in the middle of the day and it's not blistering hot. It made a huge difference. I wanted to insulate the entire shop, but it was way out of my price range.
@@TKCL That's awesome, I didn't think it would make that much of a difference temperature wise because I figured that, heat rises and the roof is pretty tall, about the same height as yours. I'll have to look in to getting that done.
The little ^ upside down triangle under the video will drop the description box down. Let me know if you can't find it, it's just to the right of the video title.
Great video on the lights..They look like the same as the ones on Country View Acres..
Those LED lights really make the difference 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Yes they do!
That’s pretty lit 🔥
Hi, Andrew! Wow! What a big difference! See y’all tonight.
See you soon
I found these lights on my buddy's TH-cam channel and he lives a few miles from me and oh ya they are worth the money and are awesome 👍🏽. I got 8 of them and they are great.
Same models as mine?
@@TKCL no I believe mine are 65 Watts. I don't have really high ceilings so I opted to the 65 watt ones
You are doing a live stream today correct?

never saw anyone use straps on scaffolding like that before. Great idea and I am sure it increases the stability.
It makes a huge difference in stability
I like your diagonal strap bracing on your Baker scaffold
Makes a huge difference in stability
They made a big difference. You could even tell with the old ones on is what impressed me. Enjoyed it Andrew!
Yes they did, wish I had known about these before installing the old lights in my shop.
Those shop lights really brighten up your work shop.
Nice!👍🏻
First commenter!!! I just recently added / upgraded the lighting in my shop and am amazed at the difference it makes. Thanks for the video.

Hello Andrew 🌞 These lights are an amazing game changer. Excellent review of an excellent product. Take care and see you on the Live Stream.🌳
See you then, hopefully with better lighting 😊
Looks great. Good information for many subscribers
Thank you for watching
The perfect shop now there Andrew
Slowly but surely getting it there one step at a time
Nice upgrade, they really make a difference. 😊
Yes they do!
Major improvement there!

Hey Andrew I think they made a huge difference starting to do research cause we are about build a 32x56x16 shop/storage building.
I highly recommend them, they are still working perfectly for me. Very bright!
Awesome video!
WOW!!! Those light make a huge difference. I think I need to buy some for my hubby when we get the garage finished:) tfs:)
They sure do light the area up
Funny watching this an get hit with an ad about lights 😂😂 looks really good Andrew 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Really? Lol I have no control over ads, that's funny.
@@TKCL lol it's ok but yeah that's what I was thinking lol
Pretty sweet leds
I like em
New lighting for the Sunday night live. We'll see 😎
I'm hoping it helps

You be doing yourself a huge favor if you used THHN in pipe. Way easier than Romex.
Frist saw these on another channel, and have a friend who got some about a month ago, super lights
Awesome, I think they are going to be great!
Very impressive! Thinking u may want a couple of these over your outside cook area, for Tiffany, on the new house porch?
Yes something nice and bright there too

Ordered 6 for my 30 x 40 that's coming middle of the month. I do have a how did you mount your plywood on your metal studs? Appreciate the video bud.
Used very heavy self tapping screws to mount 2x4s to the metal studs. Then attached the plywood to the 2x4s

Andrew, will you be adding in any part of the cost of your new house tools to the cost of the house?
Specific tools yes, I'll probably have a separate line for things like that.
@@TKCL yes, that will be beneficial.
I woulda gone with the 4000k color temp instead of 5000k. Much more balanced white without the cold blueish white. Can they swap?
Probably can, but I like nice and bright for a work area. Anything else I agree with something a little less harsh.
