Thats what we bought them for. Ours are about 18 feet in the ceiling. They do not all come on when really cold, needs a different ballast i guess. Works well when warmer.

I'm using six of them in my shop and love them! The only drawback in my opinion is replacement bulbs are a little spendy. I feel the light quality justifies the extra expense.

the T5 Evvirogro model by Hydrofarm is not the units to go for because of there poor manufacturing and design.The bulbs will not fire up in some units. poor packaging may also result in broken bulbs, another problem. For a better fixture, go to the Hydrofarm Designer Series, or another Manufacturer. Do not buy any T5 Envirogro units.

I would not consider these as appropriate for shop lighting. They are intended as artifical lighting for growing plants. They work quite well for that. I have several different ones for my terrariums growing orchids. And, as a shop light costs about $12, you could get 12 of those for the price one of these. The bulbs for a a standard shop light are also a lot less expensive.

I am assuming you are asking about 4ft fluorescent vs our LEDs. The 4 ft Fluorescent T12 tubes use 40 Watts per tube. T8 lamps use 32 Watts per tube. Our 4 ft shop lights has two strips of LEDs, each 12W. Our total 24Watt LED shop light puts out light equivalent to 80 Watts of T12 ( 2 tubes x 40 Watts per tube) or 64 Watts of T8 (32W x 2 lamps). An incandescent bulb (100W) puts out about 1100 lumens, so our fixture puts out about as much light as 2 100 Watt incandescent bulbs.

No they will not...These lights are junk.Half of mine were broken during shipping and they never were replaced.. Beware

Yes- I believe they will work just fine. For me they worked better than the regular lights because they don't need as much voltage to be bright so they were brighter where I had longer wire runs.

If the light indeed has the "intermediate base" then it should work fine. This unit is well built.

A light like this will work .......this bulb only lasted for less them 6 months....go with a more reputable brand for as they say Long Life........they didn't even offer a replacement bulb after my review

I used a simple T8 32 W bulb fixture, not a hood, and installed it like a shop light.

Ya, they should work. The base is pretty standard. I've had to buy temporary replacements at Lowes in between ordering lights and they all seemed to fit the same. The length is approx. 7 in. long, maybe a little more.

I would not advise this light. It looks good, but over all it is cheep quality. It does not accept more than 25 watt chandelier light, so you can not expect much light from it. After searching long I found an energy sever light that barely fitted in and now the light works good. I still will not advise it. good luck

I would think so, but you'd be smart to get a diagram or look at the specifications of the fixture with an electrician or even someone in the light department at Home Depot if you're DIY. The fixture is returnable if it doesn't fit.

I have purchased these lights but unfortunately they did not work as advertized and were returned to the supplier.

I agree with supaJStudios,it is merely the color of the light that will be change.yes they should work.

Well, it takes 24" T12 bulbs, so if the F20 refers to length it would not work. As to black light, that would work fine.

I have these and They are 12v. They may light for 6 but they would not be bright.

I would think as long as the wattage was correct yes.Like any light fixture you must insure the wattage does not exceed the recommended maximum. Please if you do replace the bulbs be careful to avoid possible fire. I have had mine and do not leave them run often so I do not go through many bulbs. They are the flood shape bulb and that could be an option. The stock bulbs are fragile and very light. Hope I have helped you out.

Assuming your lights are 12 VDC and maximum number of fixtures(lights) do not exceed transformer wattage rating, should work fine.

You will need 2. They are around 13-15in long and 8-10 in wide. And about 3 in thick. They are pretty good lights buy 2 from the same person. I bought 2 and then 1 amd they are a little different. If you need anything else email me. edwardclaxton89@gmail.com.
