BIKEBOY Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Have any of you purchased the LED Big Ass Garage Light? I've seen em as low as $399. They advertise 13,000 lumens. Removable trays to clean out bugs. Years and years of "run" time..... I'm thinking of doing one in my new garage. The builder installed a ridiculous excuse for a garage light. My iPhone light is brighter!!! Anyone? Thanks. BB EDIT- Go EZ on me moderators....this IS what they're called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJN Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 I don't have one but have seen in a few garages and I love them. I dont think you can go wrong with them when looking at purchasing a good quality light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twobjshelbys Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 I have a problem figuring out the "value gap" of the Big Ass product. Even if, as some claim, the el-cheapo LED fluorescent replacements only last half as long, that's still a lot of replacements for the same price. I went through the similar process when the ballast on the light in the laundry room. I looked at the LED versions, but I can replace three full fluorescent fixtures and tubes for the price of the LED. I won't be around that long.

BIKEBOY Posted July 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 Tony, that's not at all what is at stake here.... It comes down to lumens. The BA light has 13,000 lumens!! I would post a YouBoob video if I was home, but if you see one lit in person you'd see the value. Or not..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secondo Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 That BJ's light is no brighter than my BIC fireplace lighter!!! Ok smart ass, the $400 one is 13000 lumens but uses 120 watts! The $33 one is 4500 lumens (which is plenty bright) and only uses 40 watts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The $33 one is 4500 lumens (which is plenty bright) and only uses 40 watts. And in Lumens/$: 13000/400 = 32.5, 4500/33 = 13.63 In Lumens/watt: 13000/120 = 108.3, 4500/40 = 112.5 So, the lumens/watt is about the same, and you'd need roughly 3 of the cheaper ones to get the same lumens. But the distribution of the light from the three fixtures in a lower ceiling wins. But for total price, 3 of the cheaper fixtures is about $100 vs 400 so I know what I would do. Check my math, I've had a few cocktails and trying to pay attention to a TV show. I do like their fans though. We have a big room with a 2 story ceiling and I'm thinking of putting one in there.

Jerry Froelich Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 Bikeboy needs to order some fans too. That way he can have big ass lights and big ass fans. If Keith's girls show up well you guys know how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye O'Saben Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 I put flood lights in the fixtures in my garage, and they do a much better job than the 60 watt bulbs that were there. 3 car garage, 1 light per bay. If I need anymore, I can fire up the halogen work lights, got 3 of those on a stand. They come in handy in the winter if I have to do anything out there, cuz they warm the place up.

We have a few of their Industral fans at work for 8 years and been great. I like the fact the home ones work with NEST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIKEBOY Posted July 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 My new light comes today. I passed on the "Big A$$ Light". Ordered a multi LED (250 watt) 11,600 lumens from a company called Shine Retrofits in Colorado. $179. A good compromise between the Big Ass and Sefordo's BIC lighter. I'll report on how it works. And Bearbo......if I can just land Cessnas......I'll be happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
