    To me, it's a good idea to always carry two sacks of something when you walk around. That way, if anybody says, "Hey, can you give me a hand?" You can say, "Sorry, got these sacks."

    I think I bought 40-50 4' clear bulbs.... knock on wood not one had failed.... I turn them on 6-7 days a week 8-14 hrs a day.

    I need to change out every bulb in my garage at home..... what mounting ends do you guys use? ... and I think I read you guys connect end to end... what connectors have you guys found to be the best?

    they come with a connector to daisy chain them, the newer connector is longer so it works much better. for the outlet end I use "mickey mouse " power cords

    Do you have any spare long style connectors I can try before I throw out the non-working lights again?

    I'd put money on the connector M-M connector. One of mine takes a tap to turn on. I've roughed in 6 outlet boxes in my garage, and will likely just plug each fixture into an outlet individually.

I am also looking for two motion flood/security lights for each outside end of the garage. Thanks.

    Cut and paste from an older thread on the lights. You can chain 5 together, total power for all 5 is 200W.

    Pics below are with 1 single light in an otherwise completely dark shop. I am sure they will light better once I get the shop boarded and painted BRIGHT white.

    Very low profile, screw them right to your ceiling. They only weigh a few oz. each


    Below is a comparison of 1 fixture in my garage, only source of light.


    Testing.... i held the LED fixture right beside the t12 fixture for comparison.

    2 bulb 40W T12.
