Default "GLOWing" LED light review (no pun intended lol)

Been fighting a losing battle for years with fluorescent overhead lights in the shop. Pricey bulbs went out just as quickly as the cheap ones. Cold weather meant working by the braille method. You get the idea.

Decided I'd had enough yesterday, picked up 2 of these at our local Menards:

Just got one hung.

Holy crap--instant freakin' daylight! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img]

With the old fluorescent lights, I had to resort to magnifying glasses AND a flashlight to be able to read small print--like jet &amp; metering rod #'s.

I can now read them w/o the magnifying glasses or the flashlight. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

These LED's are supposed to last ~35,000 hours. If they last even half that long I'll be happy.

For a measly $40.00 each, I'll be purchasing several more of these very soon. My old eyeballs need all the help they can get.
