The light unit was very well packed and arrived in perfect condition. I bought the light unit for my garage / workshop and it is ideal. The light output is very natural and well diffused (I was worried it would be a cold bluish light). The installation was fairly straightforward although there were some niggles....but not enough to downrate it to 4 stars. The mounting centres for the brackets were stated as 902mm in the instructions; actually, it's 1240mm. There are circles in the body moulding that look like knock outs for the wiring but they don't knock out! I had to drill a hole for the wiring. The LEDs are mounted on a thin aluminium sheet which has cut outs in it designed to be pushed over plastic clips to retain it. However the aluminium is thin and sharp edged so it bites into the clips rather than sliding over them. The clips have to be squeezed together with pliers to get the light batten to engage. It's fiddly and requires 2 people or one end of the aluminium sheet (light batten) to be taped up whilst you clip in the other end. None of this affects the end result which is an excellent 5' light and a perfect replacement for the 2 x 58W fluorescent tube fitting it replaced.

Arrived early and came well packaged. Extremely simple to fit and provides the perfect light source for my garage. Would prefer it if they gave off a slightly whiter light though. Looking forward to 10+ years of cheaper energy bills!

Look good quality, good strong metal clips I like how the visor hangs off them, nice clean light a lot better than the old T5 lamps

Been holding off getting into LED to replace now defunct 8ft fluorescent strip lighting in workshops and barn environments. Had 2 sometime ago, looked at them and was pleased with their high value for the money quality even without fitting them. Fast forward 6 months and with darker days together with more failing 8ft fluorescents it was time to get in 6 more and put all 8 up PDQ. Easy to fit and wire up plus with the flex cts gland and well clipped cover they should dust and bug proof as well as water resistant if ever the asbestos roof ever leaks! Added bonus was reading before and after with the tong tester and confirming just under 50% power saving against to old 8ft strips, most with a tube out! Also great with the instant on, no fluro warm-up. Downside, and there's always one, the 4 remaining fluorescents light at the back of the workshop now just look positively yellow against the brilliant white LEDs! hence being asked to review- because 4 more LED's arrived today....................!
