Fluorescent to LED Color / Wattage?

[Earl Weiss]

On the left is my Bay #1, and on the right is #2. Far fixtures in Both Bays are single flourescent HO 4 foot bulbs.

# 1 near fixture each side has new LED fixtures from 1000bulbs.com at $57.00 each.
#2 Near fixture has dual tube LED Bypass bulbs spec'd at at 24 W. 500K 3000LM. Bulbs cost less than $8 each and replacement sockets less than $4 so round numbers $20.00 to upgrade.

The new fixtures cost a lot more but the light is better. anyone try the LED 6000K color or 60 W Bulb to see how much better it is?

Can you swap in 60w on #2 just to try it out? Seems like that would be very bright. #1 looks great as is but understand the cost difference.

Earl the $57 fixture from 1000 bulbs is rated at 65 watts, 8580 lumens and 5000k. What bulbs are you using in the converted fixtures?

#2 Near fixture has dual tube LED Bypass bulbs spec'd at at 24 W. 500K 3000LM. Bulbs cost less than $8 each so 24 x 2 = 48.
So, if specs are true. that explains the difference.
Amazon lists 28 W 3360 Lumens at $155 for 25 or a little over $6 each up to 60W 6200 LM for $9 each . Perhaps I have some experimenting to do.
