I purchased this light to go into a woodshop. I was a little worried in that normally T5 fixtures want to be hung higher, but I went ahead an installed 6 of these at 8' (in a 16' x 12' space. The results are what I wanted, very bright and very white. I will never do T12 again!

Great purchase.
Easy to install low profile bright flourescent fixture. I used two of them on top of a bookcase in the office and the light reflecting off the ceiling is more than bright enough. No need for the reading lamp anymore. The bulbs are a little expensive, but from what I read they last years and use less electricity.

Efficient Lighting
These single T5 high output fixtures produce an amazing amount of light for the energy consumed. These fixtures also come with a programmed start ballast so they can be used with occupancy sensors without degrading tube life. T5 HO lamps can last up to 30 years when used 3-hours per day. Given the energy consumption, good light output, and long lamp life, these fixtures are an environmentally sound choice.

Very bright
I replaced our 8. T8. Fluorescent lights in our kitchen
With just 4 of the 54 watt T5 Fluorescent lights. We now have
more light and save energy as well. Planing on replacing
The ones in the garage and shop.
