Shagy Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Got in my samples of some LED T8 bulbs yesterday. Wired them up and I'm impressed. They do very well. 1700 lumen. Cant wait to do my whole garage in these. SPECS: *Cool White *6000-7000k *Working Voltage AC85-265 *18w (replaces a 36w lamp) *1700 Lumen *50,000 Hour Life span <-----Normal CFL NEW LED---------> Quote Link to comment
gokiburix Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 where do you get those? Quote Link to comment
Shagy Posted March 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 I'm starting to import them. Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Judging by the looks of the board and the LEDs themselves, they look to be of good quality. Quote Link to comment
drew510 Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 How much do you plan on selling them for? What amount of power do they draw? Quote Link to comment
Shagy Posted March 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 i'm working on my price list now..I'll post up in the FS area when thats done. I made this thread so the people that I had been talking to about them could see how they look. I added the specs to the OP. Quote Link to comment
villegs Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 cool idea but I'd miss that incessant flickering of the soon to failing ballasts at work if they swapped to something so.......sensible Quote Link to comment
Shagy Posted March 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Lol...no flickering here. I will say, I really didn't think they would be this bright. Quote Link to comment
sinner720st Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 those look sweet, the garage does not though. how are you supposed to work on a dime in there? Quote Link to comment
Shagy Posted March 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 I wish my dime was there. We moved back to cali a few months ago, this is a temp situation for a few months.... Quote Link to comment
The Dat-side Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 They'd look sweet in blue under my dime. Can you get some ET looking body kits too? But cereal, I have a 60 watt lighting my garage. I f***ing need these! Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Get me a price I'm interested! Quote Link to comment
dennis Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Im interested as well. I have six tubes in my garage and the lighting is decent but I want the energy savings and longevity of the LED's. Quote Link to comment
yellowdatsun Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 I might also be interested, if the price is right. Quote Link to comment
ppeters914 Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Do these work in existing T8 fixtures? Would love more light. Pete Quote Link to comment
Shagy Posted April 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Yeah....that's what they are in. You just have to wire out the ballast. Too like 10 min. I can make a DIY. After import shipping I'm looking @ selling these for around $45ea. I have no brought over a big qty yet so I have yet to see how much it is. OR I could just put a price up for the lamps and then when I have a order (like after a week or two) I could figure out shipping and split it among everyone..... Quote Link to comment
Shagy Posted July 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 okay....so a master case is 25 lamps. $47.54 each lamp. Shipping extra if needed. Quote Link to comment
FoxyRoadster Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 can you get more colors the cool white in the future? Quote Link to comment
Shagy Posted July 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Yes. Warm White and neutral white. Some of the T5 LED ones I can get colors. Quote Link to comment
Hardwyre Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 What is the warranty? Do these just run directly off of 110v? Any discounts for buying a case? My friend has a gluten free store and might be interested. Hmm; bypassing the ballasts might be a pain though. Quote Link to comment

My friend has a gluten free store and might be interested. Is this like those story math problems that tell you shatloads of useless info just to cover up the point? Quote Link to comment

You just wire out the ballast(s) and plug them in. I'll take down my lamp and shoot some photos of how I connected them. Took maybe 10 min to re wire it. REALLY easy. Quote Link to comment

I could probably do it over the course of a couple hours after her store closes. I'll have to talk with her because she was telling me that her lights probably cost her a fair amount. I think they're 40w florescents or something. Quote Link to comment
Shagy Posted July 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 just let me know.... Quote Link to comment
wildmaninid Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 I own a gluten store. Business is booming because all the gluten free crap makes excess gluten, so i sell it at a discount. I can haz led lights for teh store? Quote Link to comment
