Was in the local store, and it was one only, so sounds like the same price.

How did the rebate work? My closest Costco is about 75 miles, one way, from the ranch.

Lumen output is the most accurate way of measuring potential. Factors already mentioned such as the type of reflector, cleanliness, color temperature ( measured in Kelvins) can affect the perceived light value. IE: switching from a warm (yellow) light of 2,700K to a "whiter" 5,000K bulb can make it seems brighter. Most of those posting here posts are replacing an old T-12 light that is probably putting out 30-40% of it's original rating with a new, clean light and so less lumen rating seems brighter.

You previous post was absolutely spot on, it really comes down to "lumens per watt" a typical 100 watt incandescent bulb puts out 1,600 lumens (16 lumens per watt) a new Cree 18 watt daylight bulb will put out the same lumens (88/watt) as the old incandescent light at around 75% less power draw.

Recently I had to make a decision as to which lights to use for my new accessory building. After studying the light output and initial cost I belied that fluorescents was the best way to go. I installed 6 lamp T8-32 lights, the bulbs are rated at 3,400 initial / 3,100 mean lumens so the initial output is 106/watt whereas the mean is 96/watt. Only the most efficient and more expensive LEDs on the market can match or beat this. Now, one can argue that at some point down the road the LEDs will maintain more of their initial brightness than the fluorescents but I can't predict that outcome at this point.

My lights are 6-bulb metalux ho. They have the shiny mirror like reflector. Bulbs are t8 5000k.

I fear I will loose lighting going to led with almost half the lumens.

May have to test a few out. But 50% less power for 40% less light isn't gonna work for me

Try online if you haven't checked already. I know up here you can get certain deals online, that you can't in a Costco warehouse.

You have the most efficient shop lighting available, it will be a few years yet before the LED strips catch up.

I did quite a bit of testing before I replaced the 400 metal Halides in my 25,500 ft. Sq. industrial building and the T5's where the best light for my 24' ceilings. the T5"s can be a bit harsh at lower ceiling heights that is why I went with T8's for my 16" ceiling accessory building.

This one?? 4? LED Shop Light with Pull Chain, 2-pack

This is only one I can find on Costco.com site. How did you get $20 rebate?

Yes these are the ones I bought at Costco a couple days ago for $29 each. No instant rebate available. Note that this was the same price (after an instant rebate) for two replacement LED bulbs that fit into old T-12 fixtures. So I opted for the complete unit and now I have a surplus of fluorescent fixtures.

Instant rebates at Costco are shown on the price tag and rung up at the register... it's automatic. Not really a rebate but a temporary price reduction.

Oh, ok. Thanks. Web site shows $69 and change for two pack.
