Review on Upgrade Your Garage Lighting With 2-Pack 80W LED Shop Lights: Adjustable Panels, 5000K Glow, 8000LM Brightness, Perfect For Workshop, Attic, And Basement by Timothy Louis

Revainrating 1 out of 5

4000 lumens at most, and they LEAK OIL!

Update: After a week of use, I replaced them with 3000K lamps. But the more serious issue is after they sat on a bench for a week, both lamps in the pair began leaking what appears to be a clear OIL. No clue what oil is needed for, and who knows what purity and safety goes into producing the oil used - is it silicon based dielectric, or is it the type loaded with PCBs that are hazardous and banned in places outside China?I would avoid buying these lamps at all costs.================Color is a softer 5,000 Kelvin. It's what they advertise, and the frosted lens does help reduce glare compared to another petal design bulb I have.The brightness falls far short of the advertised 6,000 lumens. I measured light that was equivalent to a 4000 lumen 33 watt bulb (Lamp A) that isn't nearly as directional as these. And they do not come close to a lamp rated 6000 lumen 60 watt bulb (Lamp B) that I believe. For grins, I threw in a 1500 lumen 14w lamp (Lamp C).Lamp A emits 270 degrees. 3000KLamp B emits 180 degrees. 6000K (corrected to 4500K with a 1/4CTO gel, no less)Lamp C emits 270 degrees. 2700KThese also emit 180 degrees when petals are all 'flat'. 5000KLamp A showed 292 lux.Lamp B showed 460 lux.Lamp C showed 115 lux. -These showed 289 lux. Much less efficient compared to the other lamps.In the end, I am going with the 3000K 4060 lumen 33W bulb. The single bulb 270 degree globe fills the room better -- no dark spots around the lamp, and much less glare/hot spot effect if you happen to glance at the bulb itself. Worth noting, the 60W 6,000 lumen 6000K lamps were gawdly bright, but the glare was just too much. I tried softening the glare by adding a diffuser with an orange filter to bring the temperature down a bit. It helped, but when I screwed in the 33W globes, the contest was over (yes, the globes cost a bit more, but are well worth it IMHO).

Pros
  • The adjustable panels allow you to direct the light exactly where you need it, making them perfect for any workspace, whether you need bright light focused on a particular area or more diffused light throughout the room
Cons
  • May not be compatible with certain types of lighting controls or power sources
