IIRC I spent a lot more than that on the last florescent lights I bought and these I suspect should last longer.
Thanks for the info.

My current florescent lights are 24 yo. I had to replace 1 fixture because the ballast went out. I don't have any bulbs left but I do have 2 of the ones you posted here, which I need due to bulbs burning out. This is a good deal. Thanks for posting

The 5000 lumen says '2 pack'. Is that two tubes or two fixtures?
I got these at Lowes
Utilitech 4-ft 2-Light LED Linear Shop Light (2-Pack) in the Shop Lights department at Lowes.com
Two fixtures at that price. One tube in one of the four I bought started blinking. No fix, apparently. Slow learner that I am, I picked up another pair. I kinda like the looks of the WalMart ones better.

I bought two... four fixtures in total. Came to $28.79. Not bad for four lights.
One of my old t-8's ballast gave way last week. I was able to get a ballast on E-Bay for 4.19 crazy low price on it. $12 at Amazon. I might not have repaired it if I had known of this deal at the time.
If it can't kill you it probably ain't no good. Better living through chemicals.

I just bought one of these. I needed a temporary fix over my bench to tide me over until I figure out what I want to do in the shop as a whole. It was much cheaper than anything I could find at home depot or lowes and puts off a lot of light.

$11 each. I'm not sure I can get a pair of 4 ft fluorescent bulbs for that.
Just checked HD - $10.87 for a pair of Philips T12 bulbs.

I looked at them online, went down into the shop and had one of my florescent lights start flickering on me so I ordered a pair. If they work, so much the better but they are inexpensive enough to trash them if they don't happen to work (I expect them to work)
