Whenever my budget affords, in my distribution centers builds (especially new construction), I always spring for LED. Big difference in productivity in the areas with LED vs. others...

Thanks Charley.

How much less wattage is drawn by LED vs. Fluorescent?

A bunch as I recall. Thru the box away but search Amazon

Direct swap with the original ballasts but you have to be careful. I originally bought bulbs thru home depot I believe they were Sylvania but they did not work. I read the box and they were only compatable with certain ballasts. It seems like Costcos are compatible with all. They worked with no problem. I read by changing the whole light with a led one it could be a lttle brighter but my fixtures would have been to hard to change.

Thanks Sam, When I installed those lights didnt think I would have problems with the cold weather since my garage was heated. First winter i realized my attic was not heated and they were really dim in the winter. The weather does not effect the LED lights.

Mind you, that's only an estimate.

Have you used these? There is plenty of Rural King's around me that I could buy from if they are decent

Bought 4 more lights today, got 5 of 6 hung so far.

Best as I can describe it:
