3,700 lumens.
4100°K which is a little under sunlight. I generally prefer something
more like an overcast sky, but these are very neutral and I can see true
colors in this temp.



Might be good for my garage bench, since my florescent bulbs are slow to
brighten in cold temps. But the common old school F40 is rated at 3000
lumens per tube (6000 per fixture), so its sounds like the the LED
fixture might be a bit dimmer. Though the LED light may be more
concentrated and brighter on the bench top.



LEDs are still trying to catch florescents in the efficiency category
(about 100 lumens per watt) so you get no real power savings. The
"instant on", hot or cold, is the big winner here, just keep those
tubes, both LED and florescents, clean and dust free.

Hmmm, might have to try one.

Thanks. So happens that we'll be going to Costco today...



I'm curious to know if they have them in stock and their price, if you
wouldn't mind reporting back.
It's funny to see how different Costcos carry different products and can
have vastly different prices. When I was researching these I saw that
another store in another state had a regular price that was the same as
the special sale price at my local store.
What city are you in?


They had a 'coupon' for these (nation wide) about 2 months ago. I think
it was about $30 (versus the regular $38)
