LED Shed lighting, plug in options?
My shed is a two car garage. Lighting is poor - a central double fluoro in each bay.
I'm looking for the best plug in LED option. I want to be able to move the lights around in future as needs change.
Ideally I'd like lights that can be linkable / daisy chained (cord from one light to the next) instead of all requiring a separate power point.
Some options I've found:
Osram / Ledvance LED Panel - 32w, 3200lumens. https://reductionrevolution.com.au/p...light-1200-300
Or cheaper in daylight 6500k only: https://reductionrevolution.com.au/p...nel-1200-x-300
2050lumens per 18w tube: https://thelightingoutlet.com.au/pro...n-saa-approved
40W, 4400lumen, no brand specified: https://www.lighting-wholesale.com.a...v=6cc98ba2045f
Linkable but not great price: https://thelightingoutlet.com.au/pro...ighting-sl9706
I prefer known brands. Sick of replacing the cheap LED bulbs that the previous owner put in here.
What colour temperature is best? I strongly prefer warm whites in house lighting but different situation of course.
Keen to hear peoples experience of specific products.

I like the 6500 cool white. Great for my eyes.
I bought 10 tubes from someone selling aeg gear.
Wish I had bought a few more for my veranda carport etc.
Depending where you are it’s free freight.

Any light can be plug in, all it need is a 3 pin plug on it. I put unswitched 3 pin roses in the ceiling and then plugged all the lights in to those. I can put double adaptors on the rose and add an additional light, use an extension cord to move a light etc.

If you want to go to the woodwork part of this forum I posted on the 31st March in General under Shed about getting my shed retrofitted for $33 with LED lights.
They replaced 30 lights.

I went for 1100x300 LED X 4 formed in a broken square, hard wired 2x separate switches so I can have 2 or 4 on. I like you had 2x single fluro in a double garage. It cut bills by 25%.

FWIW I've used multiples of these 12V LEDs attached to the walls and ceiling when I needed even lighting inside a temporary enclosure (DIY spray booth), ran them off a 12V jump starter battery pack.

I prefer Cool white and that's what I use both in the house and the shed at home. I have Led Fluoro's at my business when I'm back there on tuseday I will see what they are and let you know.

I just looked at the spare tubes for my Led Fluoro's at work and the box doesn't really give much info apart from that they are a 18Watt T8 Led Tube and marked as 'Bright'. I actually would've prefered them to be brighter than what they are.

This is my set up 1100x300 slimline LED panels 6000k lumin daylight fixed setting. 1st photo lights on with garage door open, door closed 2 light's on, then door closed 4 panels on. You can see on the ceiling towards the other garage doors the panel light turned off and on, the other was almost above my head.
With all 4 on I get little to no shadow at all.
In our kitchen we have a 600mm sq panel Sue can work at any surface without shadow. These all installed by electrician to hard getting into roof in a wheelchair to hard wire.20200415_092232.jpg20200415_092419.jpg20200415_092521.jpg

I hardwired two Fluro lights along with power points in my 5x5 workshop after the shed was constructed, then had an electrician check everything and connect to the meter box. Didn't think I'd need lights as I only work out there during daylight. The fluros proved inadequate on overcast days, so, I installed clear panels in the roof, still not enough, so, I bought two single, 4' LED lights from Bunnings, wired them together and attached a three pin plug to them - brilliant, they proved plenty and I don't use the fluros anymore. Just make sure you get the cool white LEDs.
