WORTH IT ON SO MANY LEVELS!
How AWESOME! This light is so bright I replaced 4 twin T8 fixtures with only one of these. I dont know why anyone would buy the 3200 lumen model right under it in store for 19.87 when they could have this one for $2 more! The pull-chain is dandy too! You couldnt purchase one t8 fixture and 2 bulbs for this cheap and if you could, no way it would b as bright!! 5/5! In my photo ive attached both models head 2 head, the 3200 lumen model on the right, and this bad boy on the left.

Bad design, poorly made
As another reviewed noted, the half round clear covers over the light strips are barely attached and sag. In my case, one was already off when I opened the box. It was cut too short and won't stay in. The recesses designed to hold the covers are much too shallow, and the covers have no rigidity. Also as previously noted, the light strips are closer together than other lights and don't broadcast as widely. Very cheaply made, even for a cheap product. I returned it.

    Waste of money!!!
    Quite possibly the most disappointing purchase I have made at Walmart. I bought two of these for my garage. They are plugged in to different outlets, but with one switch. They refuse to light simultaneously and seem to be entirely indifferent to whether I pull the chain switch. At best I get half of one unit to light at a time.

    Bulb covers won't stay on
    So just installed 3 of them, like these plastic covers over the LEDs won't stay on?? Do i tape them on or were they just for shipping. Cord is heavy duty, did not need 3 prong, but it has them.

    ehhhh wasn't really what I was expecting
    Got about 20 of these for the shop. Were easy enough to put up. One box didn't have any hardware in it. They are nice looking BUT snap, crackle and pop constantly when on. I call them my "Rice Crispy" lights. Don't like the snapping one bit. Would go to a different brand if had to replace.

    A bargain with a few issues.
    A bargain shop light. Hyper-Tough, maybe. Installation was fast. ISSUE 1: The light uses a half-cylindrical transparent covers over the LED strings, held in place only at the ends. Upon installing, the covers began to droop about 1/4 inch. Come summer in the garage heat I can imagine them falling off. My solution was to drill two small holes and tye-wrap the covers into place. ISSUE 2: The light beamwidth is narrower than the previous 4' florescent fixture and does not cover the space as well. Given that... they were worth the price and will probably give good service.

    Damaged in shipping
    Lights are great but i ordered 4 and 2 were damaged in shipping just as other reviewers stated so off to the store and wait in the returns line and try it again.

    Great light, crappy packaging.
    Hey Walmart, put a couple of pieces of tape on the box ends before you ship with Federal Ape. If you have it shipped be aware that it may come damaged as they shipped it in the retail box without any tape on the ends of the box. Mine was wide open and everything rattled around like it was broke. I can't believe the package with the chains didn't fall out. It wasn't broke and the light works fine so it must be pretty tough.

    Super bright!
    I've had just light bulbs in my garage for years and it's never been enough light. I put three of these up and now it is as bright as mid day. Only drawback so far is that the screw hooks provided to hang them are ultra cheap. I broke one screwing it in and almost broke several others.

    Broken and used
    I bought this on the black Friday deal. I expected to get a brand new one. Just because I paid Black Friday prices doesn't mean that you should send me a used broken lamp with missing pieces because it was used. Horrible!!!!

    Minor defect
    Bought 5 for my basement gym. Hard wired them all in, which means I had to cut off the plug. All working perfectly except for one. Went to turn it on and it blow out. After tearing it apart the problem was obvious. A hot wire had been pinched up against the metal housing and had cut through causing the hit line to ground out. Unfortunately, like I said, I had cut the line to hardwire in. My lost. Otherwise the item is perfect!!!

    Works but many frame issues
    The plastic piece was not fitted into the frame and the sides of the frame were broken. So it was not sturdy and had to figure out a way to fit the plastic tube into place.

    Fantastic Lights
    I bought a couple of these for my garage because I like to detail my cars. I live in a colder climate so sometimes it's a bit too cold out to apply waxes and sealants on the driveway. Then, in summer, you can't apply those in direct sunlight. In the spring the pollin is flying and leaves a dusting on the car so you still can't apply it. Long story short, I spend a lot of time detailing in my garage so I need good lighting. I've run an old twin tube florescent fixture for years. I then added a few inexpensive single row LED fixtures but it still didn't give me the light I needed. Then I saw these at such a great price that I had to get them. I must say that the amount of light is great and the color of light is perfect for highlighting paint defects and correction. I can actually look at the reflection of these fixtures in the paint and see the improved clarity of a worked area versus an unworked area without needing an inspection light. These are exactly what I needed.
