[AT] Led SHOP LIGHTS

I saw 1 reference to an 8' bulb producing 5500 lumens.  The link below discusses output from 4' bulbs and claims that all lumens are not created equal.

 Costco has some 2 bulb 4’ LED shop lights that produce 3700 Lumens on sale for $32. I’ve got some 8’ fluorescent lights in the shop that have basically died, probably bad ballasts—they were used when they were installed over 30 years ago. Will one of the 3700 Lumen units produce more light than 8’ Fluorescent bulbs—I think the ones we have have 2 pins.

Thoughts, opinions? One way or another, I’ve GOT to get some new shop lights.
