Oh man I'm going to put some in my garage. I'm getting old and was a mechanic for 37 years old eye sight isn't as good as it use to be. Great video's I'd love to have that garage. Mine is 25x30 I build myself 34 years ago. Stick build pored the concrete slab and everything. I'm all most 70 so I'd like to have one with high ceilings so I can install a lift. Keep up the good work and the videos coming.👍
they're way too bright. It's not like a twin 58w fluro that needs to be 7foot of the ground to have any decent impact. In fact it is in the name Highbay that they are designed to be used high. In fact the higher they are the more spread out the light becomes.
As an electrician I've installed these at different heights! When they are too low the light gets in your periffle vision and it's not good! These are much better for high ceilings! I love them when installed that way! Can't beat the price! I have bought some of these from a different company that had a hidden switch were you could set them at 100, 150 or 200 watts!
Actually both 4000K and 5000K are nearer the 'warm' side of lighting to get to hospital or daylight levels you need to be above 6500K. In a shop and as your eyes age the difference between 5000K and 6500+ is pretty striking when doing detail work. I installed my shop with 7000K and have never regretted that decision. I would never go for a lesser K value in a work environment. I used the four foot daisy chained 'florescent' style and put enough in to avoid any shadows. Even with them I add more on each machine. You just can't get enough light when machining or wrenching.
That’s good info. I couldn’t imagine 7k. The 5k does put out pretty working light but I prefer the ambience of the warmer light really lol. Thanks for watching
In the lighting world, the 5000k is considered daylight, 4k is cool white, and 3k is warm white. 6 and 7k are considered blue light. A bright sunny day is roughly 5700k.
I saw these on RUclips while looking for high bay lights for my new shop. I ordered 10 for a 50x64 shop and I'm really happy with them. They light it up Ike daylight and didn't break the bank. I'd recommend them to anyone. Mark Prince Edward Island Canada
I as a lighting designer (retired) always discouraged my customers from utilizing 5000 kelvin lights. My opinion, too much blue light. Blue light over long times will cause eye damage.
I totally agree I’m so glad I opted for 3 of the 4K lights. The 5k are very blue bright and I usually only run the 3 4000k lights honestly. Thanks for watching and the input.
@@2003evodave can't get a scissor lift in my shop. I have too much stuff. ladder, it is; for me. ... with some securing the ladder feet to my concrete floor my standing on the ladders feet.
Hey there bud, I bought the same lights for my future build this spring, going to be putting up a 56x112x16 man cave/car storage building. I bought 21 of the exact same lights with the diffusers and a couple of the wall mounts for the exterior doors. Your shop is looking really nice! Good luck and don't work too hard!
Thanks a lot for taking the time and effort to make this video! I am having a hard time finding videos where people are using these high bay LED lights with the optional diffusers / reflectors. I guess not many people must know yet they could be a nice addition to reduce spotlight glare and spread the light out more evenly. Perhaps you would want to try some and see the difference and shoot a video (perhaps others would like to see as well)... I ordered some high bay lights and diffusers for my shop but they have not arrived yet, was just looking for some videos showing lights with diffusers.
I would never mix warm/white lights together. Their CRI is low, 80, and that would be fine for a shop light but not fine if your're lighting for video. (Retired pro photographer/videographer) You could go with good video lights close up for your video and let the shop lights do what their going to do.
Hykolity offers the same light, 5 year warranty and they actually hold up great over years. Paid $260 shipped for 8. Similar brands would've cost me from $800-$1200
Wouldn't you want to put in your additional truss members before placing the lights? They'll be lower, I think, and possibly a better location for lighting. Also, I do read manuals. The last thing I want to happen is that someone comes by two years later and says, "did you know these lights have this function if you push this little button?" etc. Enjoying your videos. Since I just found them I'm able to bing watch the whole series.
I would swap the two center lights to balance out the light when only using the one circuit so all the light isn't on one side of the shop. Curious if it would make a difference when only one set of lights are on.
I love my hyperlites. I put them in my barn, 2 for a 30x40 but obviously has lofts. More than perfect lighting and you cant look directly at them unless you wanna call-in tomorrow lol. Im on the fence honestly between building a whole separate building or converting it into a shop. 6-8ft of it is blocks on footers. Just need to do beams to remove the lofts then id have probably 16-18ft or more at the peak. Of course then pour the middle with concrete
it's time to replace the crappy "garage lights" with something that doesn't spark, crackle and fail! i need something of better quality for sure. i don't need a lot of fixtures, maybe 4 in my 500 sqft, 10 ft ceiling workshop. what are your thoughts?
Question - How many amps on your circuits did you have to wire up for the lights? I am building my own 30x45 foot shop. After watching your video, I contacted Hyperlight and I bought one 150 Watt LED High bay light (Hero series) to examine up close before buying the remaining lights. I measured the current this light uses as 12 Amps. If I use 8 of these I think my amperage will be over budget. For your installation, did you have to put in a hefty circuit to supply all your lights?
Thanks. After sending this I realized I made a dumb mistake- the meter adapter multiplies the reading by 10 so I actually only have 1.25 amps per fixture. Thanks for your very helpful video. I just purchased 7 more lights from hyper light!
@@ProjectDadLife lol I can't argue with that. I'm going 46x40x12. How tall are your walls? I'm really trying to figure out how many lights I may need. I've done their configuration and all that too, just looking at the vids on em
Walls are 10’ . 8 of these lights would be plenty I promise. Mine are wired up on 2 circuits 3 lights each and I only ever turn 3 lights on for %99 of my work.
@@ProjectDadLife I work on my cars, but also have parties. If I mix the 5k and 4ks meaning in a 30x50x16 two rows, each row I'm thinking 4k then 5k, and only use the 4ka for parties, would that work?
@@mstang61 yes sir that’s exactly what I did. I got 3 4K in a row and 3 5k in a row I use them all for mechanic work and just the 4K for hanging out and it has the perfect ambiance.
@@ProjectDadLife Well that makes sense because you have 1,000 watts of LED lighting with all six turned on! I'm in Australia and have used similar lights. Great instructive video but you had me more than worried way up on that ladder like that. Serious lean angles and if the feet gave way you might end up in a wheelchair. Stay safe man!
Hey brother, I'm in the process of building a very similar shop. I've been struggling with what kind of lights to put in, and these look great! I'd like to see how the wall lights look when you get them installed. I appreciate you making these videos; they're very helpful!
The camera has auto exposure and auto white balance so that’s why the viewer won’t see what you see.
I prefer the warm.
Me too still prefer the warm

Thank you sir. Will do it
Color render index CRI of >80. Thats pretty bad. I’m all for bright, but quality light matter. My head hurts already.
What would be cool of one of them is to put it on a rope pulley so you can lower it down over a car. Have a cleat attached to side wall.

@JackoTJK ...agreed...I had a 400mm chain on mine but was to bright so the chain came off an what a huge difference it made....best lights tho

Awesome l! Yes they are so bright. Still loving mine
how many feet apart are they ?
About 10’
So you have been using these for 2 years, are you starting to have any light failures ?. I am hearing after a year these are failing.
I replaced 2 500w old school highbays with 2 150w LED highbays and it's instant start brighter light. LED highbays are amazing...
That’s awesome yes they are!
I as a lighting designer (retired) always discouraged my customers from utilizing 5000 kelvin lights. My opinion, too much blue light. Blue light over long times will cause eye damage.

Yeah, I can't stand anything over 4000k, I'm going with the 4000k versions in my shop.
So if you had a 40x50x16 shop how many of these would you recommend?
Honestly I’d say 6 like my setup would be plenty especially on a budget. 8 would be surgical shop
That ladder setup is... uh... I'd never do that. You have some very big balls.
What are you supposed to do ? Go buy a $20,000 scissor lift and try to save money on your electric bill with LED's ?
@@Mr_BUSINESS_24_7. LOL,,,,apparently you are not aware of the term “rent”.
Scissor lifts are cheap and EZ to get.
@@2003evodave can't get a scissor lift in my shop. I have too much stuff. ladder, it is; for me. ... with some securing the ladder feet to my concrete floor my standing on the ladders feet.
What are the dimensions of your shop?
Your photo title should be, “Too bright?” and not, “To bright?”
Do the lights sway in windy weather?
how about the led wall pack lights you have, did you make a video, how do you like them ? for out by your entry door? thanks Mike
Yes I still have but unfortunately I haven’t installed yet!
Fyi warm white is in the 3k range, 4k is cool white, and 5k is considered daylight.
Thank you

Realistically 3 lights would do fine in this workshop but having them spaced I found means you don't get the bonnet/boot shadow when working on cars
Oh yeah 3 lights would’ve done fine. It is super nice to have the super bright option though!
you didn't want to go with the dimmer option ? I think that would have been the move.
With the bright white it would definitely be needed but the 3 warm white one I’m running primarily are perfect!
