V-TACLED lamp, T5, White

Good light but a bit hit and miss on long term reliability

I have a one car garage converted to a workshop. It has the original flourescent tube down the centre, I added a 4ft LED fixture across the 'door' end a year or so back but needed more light at the 'window' end where I had installed a new work bench. The V-TAC LED lamp at it's high lumin power is wonderful and now makes that end of the workshop very appealing. I may have to replace the flourescent tube with one soon because it makes the centre look a little shadowy now. Of the three lamp fixtures the V-TAC was the cheapest and best.My only small criticism is that the supplied screws to attach the brackets to the ceiling had smallish heads that could pass through the holes if tightened hard and I added washers for safety. That said the weight of the fixture is negligable and so my mod might be overkill.De-lighted with my purchase.

Bright lightsEasy to fitbut 2 out of 4 failed after 20 months

I swapped out a single fluorescent tube in my garage for 5 of these units. Very impressed, I like the colour temperature and the fact they are very lightweight. Easy to fit too, as you can dasiey chain one light to the next (each light can be connected at both ends). Simple two wire connection. You can connect to 8 of the lights together this way, more than 8 and you'll need to wire the next 8 in parallel. They are completely sealed from dust and moisture when connected. Very nice design.

I only bought one of these lights for my outbuilding. It was so simple to install took me about 20 mins from start to finish and the light difference was amazing now I can actually see when I need to go in there to get food out of the freezer I used to use a led torch but not now.

If you are replacing a standard fluorescent light with the electrics going to the middle, you do need to put a junction box in the incoming supply and then add two core wire to the end of the led unit from the junction box. No earth is required as it is a class 2 unit ( no external metal parts). Apart from this easy to install. Quality of type and intensity of light - superb!!

Ordered 4 and installed in garage. After about 1 month one of the units failed and just flashed constantly.Contacted the seller and quickly received a refund for the defective unit.

Very easy to install and adequately lights my garage
