Are those black lights giving you the dark saber? [emoji1787]

Since everything is already wired to just plug in, I'd just replace them completely. I have several of these I got from Costco. Probably wouldn't be able to get bulbs cheaper than the complete light.

They are $40 for a 2 pack including a $20 discount right now (regularly $60/2).

I’m not a member, so I’m not sure if the price drops after you log in...but I do see it mentions the 2pk online. I checked them out sometime in the last day or so, maybe from a link in this thread?

You can get two singles for less than the price of a 2pk.



I'm not 100% clear. Does it come with a power cord and a cord to link them? The one pic I saw didn’t have a standard outlet on the end of one, so I’m not sure. edit: looks like it’s just a 2-prong plug, so the cord that comes with it will go into an outlet or another light

If anybody around Charlotte/Huntersville/Concord is going to Costco and wants to grab 2 for me, I’ll meet you to pick them up.

@Moth ...what did you end up doing?
Trying to find some good LED shop lights for the barn build.

I bought some relatively cheap units from Amazon, put them up and promptly stopped thinking about them. So, they must be doing great! I’ll see if I can find the specific model.

Buy high output fixture and bulbs for a garage or shop. Color is 5k. Don’t bother with a diffuser cover.

Thanks @Moth for this recommendation! I got then to replace some 4 foot fluorescent tube shop lights that have been flakey. They are definitely brighter. They are very basic and simple… You can see why they can be sold so cheap. But they seem to work great.
