Honeywell LED Shop Lights

I got the first of three pairs of these lights in the mail today. I bought these from Lowe’s online. The model # is SH450505Q200 and the Lowe’s part number is 2500105. I like these for a couple of reasons.

1. They are easily daisy chained using a standard outlet plug located on the end of each light
2. They are LED and still very bright (5000 lumen each)
3. Did I mention they were decently priced? lol

I thought they were only mountable with the included chains, but it turns out that you can mount these using screws. It’s not super secure, as you can’t tighten the screws once it is installed and it’s more of a slotted hole design to get them on the screws, but it’s secure enough since I shouldn’t be touching them at all (or at least I hope I don’t hit them, LOL)

I went ahead and plugged these lights in to the outlet on my countertop to see what they would look like. I have to say that these are really nice and the photo doesn’t do it justice since it was reducing the exposure of the shot.

Now, I had to change the setup in the garage just a little because I had a florescent fixture mounted on the ceiling currently. I removed that fixture and changed it to a duplex outlet. Surprisingly, they don’t seem to make much hardware to do this, and even the plate that I found at the local Ace hardware store was too big. I had to drill my own holes to make it fit the 2 3/4″ spacing of the screws. I probably could have search around for the right hardware online, but to be honest, this was just fine for my garage needs.

From there I used some wall anchors to place the screws at the right spacing and location for the lights and hung them up. I will say these lights are more directional than I thought they would be. The previous florescent light was open 180 degrees, while this seems to have more of a focus of around 140 degrees or so. It was very bright below the lights, but it does restrict how far the light radiates. I figured it would be like this, so that’s why I ordered three pairs of these lights to spread throughout the garage. All in all, I’m very happy with my 1/3 result so far and can’t wait for the other two pair to show up!
