• No Maintenance: Each lamp has an internal driver — no ballasts to replace.

• Long Life: Rated for 50,000+ hours of operation.

 • Shatterproof & Flicker-Free: Safe, consistent performance in any shop.

Easy Installation for any retrofit or new construction

 • Fluorescent Replacement: Swap one-for-one with your old strip fixtures. Hard-wire ready and includes a quick-disconnect harness.

 • Plug & Cord Option: Order with a cord for simple plug-in installation.

 • New Builds: Mount to ceilings or hang with aircraft cable/jack chain - installation takes just minutes.

 

Recommended Mounting Height

 • Optimal Brightness: Up to 15ft ceilings.

 • Above 15ft: Light output per square foot decreases. To fix this add more fixtures, or upgrade to our 6-lamp led light fixture for more light output.

 • Below 12ft: For mounting heights under 12 feet, consider using our 4-lamp frosted led light fixture to help diffuse the light evenly.

 

How Many Shop Light Fixtures Do You Need?

Lighting layouts vary by application, but here are our recommendations to ensure bright, shadow-free coverage:

 • The lower end of each range provides sufficient light for general use.

 • The higher end of the range delivers brighter coverage, perfect for tasks like detailed work, welding, or automotive projects where shadow reduction is critical.

In other words, the more fixtures you choose within the recommended range, the brighter and more uniform your space will be.

 

Small Shops & Garages

2-Car Garage - 400–500 sq ft → 4-6 fixtures

3-Car Garage - 600–750 sq ft → 6-8 fixtures

 

Medium Shops & Barns

1,000 sq ft (25’ x 40’) → 8-12 fixtures

1,500 sq ft (30’ x 50’) → 10-15 fixtures

Large Workshops & Warehouses

2,500 sq ft (50’ x 50’) → 16-24 fixtures

5,000 sq ft (50’ x 100’) → 28-40 fixtures


Rule of Thumb: 1 fixture per 100-125 sq ft at 15ft ceilings.

Q: Can I replace my fluorescent fixtures with these?
Yes. Our 4ft LED Shop Light Fixtures are designed for direct retrofit installation, making it simple to replace outdated fluorescent strips. They wire into the same power supply, so you don’t need to rewire your building. Best of all, they are ballast-free, which means you can remove the ballast completely. Each LED lamp contains its own internal driver, eliminating one of the biggest failure points of traditional fluorescent systems.

 • Direct one-for-one swap with old fixtures
 • No more buzzing or flickering from ballasts
 • Improved brightness and clarity the moment you switch them on


Q: Can I plug these into an outlet instead of hardwiring?

Yes. If you’d prefer not to hardwire, you can select the cord-and-plug option at checkout. This makes installation nearly as easy as hanging the fixture and plugging it into a standard outlet.

• Great for garages, barns, and shops where outlets are already in place 
A true plug-and-play solution, no electrician required
• Easy to move if you ever change your shop layout or relocate

Q: What if my ceilings are higher than 15ft?

These particular fixtures perform best up to 15ft mounting height. If your ceilings are taller, you’ll still get light coverage, but the brightness per square foot will be reduced. To fix this, you have two options:

• Install more fixtures with tighter spacing to increase overall coverage
Upgrade to our 6-lamp led fixture, which produces more light output for applications that require a higher mounting height


Q: How long do these fixtures last?

Each fixture is rated for 50,000+ hours of use, far outlasting standard fluorescent tubes. That’s years of reliable, bright lighting with no tubes or ballasts to replace.

Withstands cold winters without dimming or delayed startup
Shatterproof lamps make them safer for rugged environments

4ft LED Shop Light | Fixture & 4 Clear Tubes

I just finished installing 3 of these fixtures, replacing 3 old flood lights in my garage. What an incredible difference! Installation instructions were very easy to follow, and the wire hook up was very simple. Build quality is very good and well thought out. Overall, I would not hesitate to purchase more in the future.
