well if you think $8 for 1200 lumens from china is better than $5 for 1500-1600 lumens at your local store than i guess so
It's the fact that I can put them on the splitter in the hood and get much better coverage. The forward facings are on an angle if I put then in the hood.

wed have to see pricing on those.....

the off the shelf ones are being made by the millions and come with 5+ year local warranty

also if theres one thing we learned from cobs multiple smaller fixtures beat 1 big one for coverage. did i mention all the off the shelfs are forward facing in excess of 100 lm/W?

For some of us the "Corn Cob" configuration would be just the ticket, think Vertical :hump:

Find one that cranks out 145000 lumens for say 600W and I'm in

i dont think these are super duper great primary lights (esp with cobs coming down in price so fast) but the sheer utility cannot be denied. 9W brightstik nursing anemic dispensary clones back to health:

or 15W+9W in a duplex socket taking care of an ad-hoc setup of ladies fresh out of the dome into 4" cubes. aint gonna lie airwalker i thought about your horizontal paddle shaped one on the last page

IF it points down when fully screwed in, that is..... youre constrained by socket orientation with the outlet-to-socket adapters.

those ones in the pics still have the diffusers on. that 5x8ish laundry room itself has a 15W without a diffuser in the ceiling, you can see the shadows from it of the anemic clones on the washing machine

You'd be able to get it oriented to a spot that'd work I'm sure.
