    thats what i was thinking.

    CLicked on the Link and it mentions normally $299.

    Cant seem to see them anywhere else, might have to look at another brand. $200+ buys you a lot of FLuoro tubes and would take years to recoup the energy saving over a fluoro…

      Why are you comparing to florescent tubes?

      These are High Bay lights, LED is often used to replace metal halide or high pressure sodium High Bay lights.

      You have also failed to account for the cost of replacing florescent tubes.

        Because they can be used to replace a number of other lights such as high bay linear fluorescent lights also. Looked at similar myself to replace just that for my workshop. Pretty sure i mentioned '$200+ buys you a lot of Fluoro tubes' so that was accounted for in my statement. $17 each, and i havent replaced them in years on my setup.

        The point stands, no bargain was listed and people will need to do their own research if they are wanting to replace their Metal halides or high pressure sodiums only by the sounds of it…

          @worthy1: I was talking about the cost of having someone replace them, depending on access they can be difficult to replace.

            @Maverick-au: For sure, no doubt these are good value depending on your needs. I guess if you have a number of Halogens etc then buying a heap of these and getting an electrician to wire them up is a fair outlay, hopefully that is recouped in electricity savings sooner rather then later

              @worthy1: I think it's easier to justify if you have metal halide or high pressure sodium lights that are getting close to needing replacement as it can be a straight swap. If you have fluorescent tubes like T8 etc mounted lower down the cost will be a lot more to change.

              The biggest cost recovery should be made in the longer life of these units not so much the power savings.

    The RRP is $799.95
    the PHilips LED is the top of range, if you look at the efficiency which is 130 lumen/watt which is among the highest in the industry
    and this has an actual output of 20150lumens, unlike others use 'theoretical' output.

    Nice but unfortunately RRP isnt what most people go on. RRP is inflated on most products. $299 is your normal price so put that in the total and you should get some bites as $50 off is nice :)

  Associatedmelbourneelectronic @ Melbourne Electronic on 27/11/2018 - 21:21

  if you have t8 fitting, please try this, only $13 each, but this is designed for low ceiling, the 160w is for 8-12m high ceiling

    Need to look at an upgrade. Some Linear LED's with a plug instead of hardwired would be nice. Similar to this - https://sydneytools.com.au/product/bayer-bay200wl-200w-26000…

      nice looking light
      but be careful with the 26000Lm, some homebrands use theoretical output, for example they have 200 led chips with 130 lumne per chip, than theoretical output =200*130=26000lumen
      and you will see the actual output when you receive the light
      for my warehouse i use all philips, osram or clipsal products, because i always get what it says on the item specifications.
      hope this helps.

  If you like blinding glare - buy this

  • 

    willyroo on 28/11/2018 - 11:20

    Yep - CRI ~ 80 = blinding glare.

    • 

      maruko on 28/11/2018 - 23:04

      CRI and glare are two very different things. The glare mostly comes from the bare LEDs creating multiple point sources of direct light. This can cause disability glare and can pose OHS risks.

      Haha, I think he was saying it looks more like a drone than a light.
      Too bad they're not, they'd be flying out the door :) .

      Can anyone comment on the 120 Watt version of this?
      I was thinking of getting one for my home workshop, it's 10.5 x 7.7 metres, 3 metre walls and 5 metre ceiling peak.

  Around the same output as 400W Mercury Vapour lamp which can be purchased for less than $20. Yes it might cost a bit more to operate but its $230 cheaper.

    you save $200 on the item unit cost, but each hour it consumes 240W more power, if you use 8 hours a day, which is about 2000W more, 35 cents per 1kw, it cost extra 70 cents extra a day. if you use 5 days a week, this is $3.5per week or $182
    plus the potential cost energy cost on your air conditioning bill, cuz the mercury vapour lamp gets very hot but the led always work between 37-43 degree celecus. and you replace mercury vapour lamp every 8000 hours, but the philips led last forever
    you do the maths.
