Thanks for the heads up. I just ordered two, they are on back order though. I've a couple of magnetic base that I got from them years ago but I'm tired of moving them. I like Rockler but their shipping ($12) is about the same as the gas to drive to their Denver store—with they had one closer

I got the same ones at Sam's for $36 a piece. My wife bought 12 of them for me but I only needed 10 so the other two are spares.

I converted a bunch of fluorescent lights (Got rid of the ballasts and added LED tubes from Amazon) and also bought some LED shop lights at Costco. The converted lights are brighter than the Costco lights. However a person goes, the LEDs way out perform the fluorescent lights.
At my age I need all the light I can get in the shop!

I have a friend who is designing LED lights for large warehouses. He had a prototype 1x4 fixture he had built to do some testing and gave it to me a week or two ago. I mounted it above my lathe and it's great. The light is so much "whiter" and more like natural light than any other type I have ever seen.
Even if your young and still have good eyesight, changing to LED lighting is still a good move.
