Thanks, I see this model does not have replaceable led. Considering led longevity it may not be relevant do you think ? 

 

Very few do. That adds points of failure with the connections and CGA obligations to have replacement parts available to replace them with for a reasonable timeframe.

I have bought several LED batterns as one offs to see if they were any good, and they have all not been any good with excessive ripple in the output. For now keeping the fluros with electronic ballasts because they solved the problem 30+ years ago to have stable light output that you can take a video or a timelapse under and not have it come out looking weird, and be able to use powertools without the weird motion artifacts that crappy lighting gives you.

its 150 watts, and 18750lumen

I have 200w of LEDs (5x 40w battens), which is about 25000lumen for my entire 6.6x9m garage. i have a ceiling but its at 2.7m, and i had one batten placed over the work bench area to give some more light. i would consider my garage to be pretty bright.

I think it would be to much light with 2 of them and would give you some mean shadowing with 1 or 2 of them.

I take your point about shadowing although this is the recommendation from the sparky who fits out many of this type of open span shed.

He did say its better to keep the light high so maybe that elevates the shadowing concern ? I would think they could be around 3m or bit more off the floor.

It would depend on the roof height. On the "high" side of my shed, I have three of these, however they are mounted at around 4.5m, and the space is 6x13.

The "low" side is 6x17m, and I have 8 of the LED battens linked in a previous post (4 pairs spaced evenly along the length, which a secured to the beams at around 3m above the floor.

I have no issues with shadows, except for at a bench placed against one wall - and this now has an extra batten over it.

The link in the post will take you to the specification page for the lights. Wattage is only a part of the detail for LED.

The high stud photos put my situation into perspective. As commented, my 2.4m stud definitely has the potential for shadowing from the UFO's.

+1 for Enolt fittings. After my new garage build in 2018 I installed four singles and two doubles covering the vehicle bays, and two singles over the workbench area.

They're awesome fittings with even light output (some fluro LED tubes obviously show the individual LEDs because they're not diffused enough).

Can't remember which exact model number they are though, but there aren't many to choose from (which is a good thing IMO).

 

Here is the link for the ENOLT lights sold by workspace

I recently had a 6.8 x 7.2 garage built and I wanted the best light possible to work on my cars at all hours.

I settled on Philips LED battens and have not been disappointed. I have two above each of the two cars and another one over my workbench. The whole garage is bathed in bright natural light that's easy on the eyes. I forget what colour temp I got sorry. No flickering at all - or at least not that I have noticed.

Can't remember the exact model but they look similar to this: https://www.lighting.philips.co.nz/prof/indoor-luminaires/battens/coreline-batten#p-image-2 

I originally bought some mid-priced LED battens from Bunnings but they were absolute rubbish so they went straight back. Was happy to pay a little bit more for Philips quality, and I think they were only around $60 each as they were on special.

That's a higher quality but also taller profile equivalent of what I've got over my bench.

I'm not sure what OP's intended use is, but I haven't noticed any weird effects when using tools or taking photos.  I haven't tried video though.

we have the same lights :)

i love them, my garage is slightly bigger but i have the same number of lights and they are great.

I have power points in my above bench cupboards should i ever need brighter worklights above the bench.
