| I have the expensive "swirly" florescent lights and while they work okay, in the winter, they seem to take a while to "warm up," - thought I would throw that out there if you are considering them. |

Location: Tulsa, Ok | I have florescents. The first couple of winters we had some problem with them warming up. Went back and put cold weather ballasts in them - problem solved. |

Location: Winging It in KY | Getting ready to install all LED fluorescent lights in my barn. Replacing the old style fluorescent bulbs and taking the ballast out. I don't know how they will work in the winter. The old style seemed to take forever to warm up. The LED are expensive but I hear the electric savings will be noticed and they will be brighter. |

Location: Texas | I have LED shop lights in my barn. They've worked really well and are very bright, plus they don't get very hot. With my fluorescents I used to have to tap them with a broom to get them to brighten up in the winter. Not anymore!

Location: TN | We have had these Orion Equine lights in our show barn for the last 10 years. They have the proper lumen ratio to cycle mares and help keep a short haircoat. We have the round ones on the bottom of ceiling fans over each stall, wash rack, and stock area. We have the big long one hanging in the Aisleway. We have been very pleased.

| Probably a florescent light. I like these lights as they warm up the environment very soon. Now, my friend is suggesting to get a generator installed in my home by contacting generator maintenance NJ team so that I won't have to face any electric power outage in my new home. Gonna get it installed it soon. These professionals also offer electrical wiring repair, so its an added advantage for me as I have to also get my backyard light repaired fast. |

I cannot find any prices on website so I'm thinking these are pretty high. Will you give me a ballpark figure bout how much these are? |
