Guys prices are close for $ per watt, seems to have a interestingly high lumen per watt.
I think I can get a little better prices from litron for an equivalent of each of those listed. I’ve bought fixtures and lighting parts from litron for 20 Years, (but they have changed names a couple times)
They will be plenty bright! Main thing is if you trust them to be around if they crap out. Most of these fixtures have no serviceable parts so they are garbage if they shat the bed if you can’t get warranty.

Was thinking that but:
And I was in the strip mall last week and didn’t notice them.
I get way better pricing at litron. I use commercial if I need parts on the south side or have stock issues elsewhere.

What brands do you primarily buy at Litron?
That’s tough to answer. Every job is different for us and might need different fixtures.
This LED shat has been changing rapidly and what is the best value option today sometimes is not tomorrow.
We never use to have the same percentage of duds, and with the old technology we usually noticed duds instantly and tossed 20$ worth of parts into it and moved on.
Now the duds cost more time and money.
Rc lighting has been good and Would never buy or sell another “crosstour” brand fixture. And don’t have that many other brands out there long enough with long term feed back. Lots of the failures have been at about the 2 year mark. The rebates have recently made it competitive enough for property owners to start to invest in LED or the cost where just too high.
I usually play a pricing game trying options from the wholesales that make warranty easy for us.

They couldn't get their dlc rating if the lumen output wasn't ligit, could they?
Prob not. That was the issue with the cooper high bays. DLC was low compared to spec sheet.
But your quote also says 45000 not 55000 he was pumping in the text.
Give them a try if you think they will be around for the 7 year warranty.
Do not think these would be for me. It’s like any other eBay gamble from China.
Lots of inconsistencies at first glance on their web site.
No actual data sheets, no lumen listing, some places say 5 year warranty, some say 7.
Maybe if they where half that price but not enough savings for me.
And his name sounds fake too! Bjorn bjorngenspn!
Too many bad experiences with these importer guys for me!

Yeah I am not getting the warm fuzzy.
Gonna give Litron a shout and see what they have that would be in this ballpark.

That is right 18 for two.
Is this an LED fixture, or LED lamps to retro fit a fluorescent fixture.
I haven’t noticed retro fit lamps there yet, but don’t go that often.
We do buy lots of pot light bulbs there though.
Can’t beat Costco’s warranty.

Instead of fluorescent replacement tubes they are led replacement tubes 4 ft long that fit in the old fixtures, they are in the lighting section, they are thinner than regular fluorescent tubes. Actual price is $17.99 . There are claims that the ballists must say electronic.

Cool. Good to know they have them there.
T8 lamp fixtures should have electronic ballasts.
Old T12 fixtures probably don’t have electronic ballasts unless it has been changed out.

Got a call today from a person representing the Alberta energy efficiency program saying they have way to much cash for this program and they want to blow it! They are extending the rebate program to industrial customers to get rid of the surplus.
But FYI to anyone applying for a rebate the final day to have paperwork in is March 16th.
Another interesting thing was the person calling representing energy efficiency Alberta called and was working in Ontario. It is Nice that the government is farming out employment to other provinces for our local program!
