Nope, I got them at Walmart. I don't remember how much but it was around 15 bucks or so I think. In a white and green box. 40w

normal ceiling in the garage I got these and paid ~$20 for longer extensions. They daisy chain so you only plug one in. So for ~$65 you get 6 lights, not including flashing if you don't have reflectors/flashing. Cardboard and metal tape is cheaper than flashing I'm sure....just an option.

We replaced the flouescents at the shop with 4 and 8 ft LEDs. The 8 ft were from Home Depot, the 4 ft from SuperbrightlLEDs.com

We did some homework before we decided on what to use in our building. If you use a ballast you're not going to see the kind of significant energy savings an LED is capable of. The ballast itself is a big power hog. Plus they're another potential failure point and expense to repair. I think our 4ft fixtures consumption with bypass LEDs was 1/4 of what the florescents used. With a ballast and LEDs my recollection is consumption only dropped by 1/3. The energy savings (at least in this criminal state) more than pays to go to straight LED. In bulk, I believe Superbright's 4 ft tubes were around $6.50 ea.

I have had this one for quite a while, pretty happy with it. I like the portability of it.

I am building an LT1/L86 6.2 for my 2017 single cab Silverado and I needed to put some new o-rings on my injectors. I had to get this little kit to get them on. I guess that at 2100 psig fuel pressure you just can't roll them on with a little grease.
