Thanks. $44 for a 6 pack. They are 4 foot long and can be linked together. Super easy to hang. They are so light you don’t need drywall screws or studs. I’ll be ordering more for the back half and probably some for the walls for detailing and working on brakes and suspension stuff.

(Pack of 6) Barrina LED T5 Integrated Single Fixture, 4FT, 2200lm, 6500K (Super Bright White), 20W, Utility Shop Light, Ceiling and Under Cabinet Light, Corded electric with built-in ON/OFF switch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HBT3BV...abc_M0P2ASB6PHPP1F7TC0H0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Wait so the back half isn't lit up?
So it's business in the front, and almost a party in the back?

after measuring the lumens on the "garage bulbs" you see on amazon, a year ago i went with two of these per socket, and 100w eq. bulbs from costco. around 4500 real lumens per base, bulbs cost 24 bucks, y-adapters were like 9 bucks... so 33 dollars total (for three light bases). I measured a 6k lumen light from amazon, only put out around 2500 ... i def. recommend the y-adapter method for anyone wanting cheap, bright, reliable light.

costco has a two pack of these now for like 35 bucks... not bad, and they probably produce the lumens stated, my setup is still cheaper, and more easy to replace as needed.

Oh man, I am ordering some of these soon!! In my garage it doesn't matter how bright the bulb is, it's a single bulb and it's near the back wall, so good luck seeing anything up front. I was about to daisy chain extension cords to hang a few HF single bar LEDs but this is so much better!

Yessir! Billy Ray Cyrus style 🤘. The back half has no lights. It’s deeper then it is wider I’ll probably do another 6 T5 setup back there since it was so easy. Probably just tap into the garage door outlet so I don’t need to run power and instal receptacles/keyless’s

I almost went with them. They look like a solid option for adding light too. Like Joe said about the technology it has come such a long way. There is no reason someone should be working in the dark.

I finally broke down and ordered a set of center caps for the Enkei Raijins that were supposed to be "track only" but wound up living on the car 7-8 months of the year.

The Enkei caps? or did you manage to find a set of VW Logo caps that fit the Enkeis?

I bought the Enkei Flat Caps shown in the picture. I bought these wheels used and they didn't come with any caps. I've run them without caps for almost 2 years.
