Home Depot Deal Alerts & Discussion Thread

I talked to him a few months ago and he was in the process of moving across country. Y’all have seen all the stuff on here he found, so imagine moving all that plus 1000X more. lol… He is probably still moving his batteries!

He probably has an 18 wheeler of just stuff from HD. Good to hear he’s ok

That's great news. Thanks for sharing.

Glad to hear he is okay.
He could have an awesome estate sale with his HD finds :slight_smile:

Now take into consideration, I have not spoken to him in a few months so I can not guarantee he is alive and well, I just know he was moving and that takes time. I will email him to let him know he is missed lol.

I was in Home Depot today looking for a replacement ceiling fixture for a small laundry room.

Luckily, I ran across this two-pack of LED ceiling fixtures in the clearance section for just $15!

They’re still listed for $59.97 on Home Depot’s site. My store had several packs of the brushed nickel and oil-rubbed bronze on and end-cap in the Electrical / Lighting section of the store.

I’m very impressed with the light so far. It’s not particularly attractive, but just fine for a laundry room! It has decent output and a nice 3000K color temperature. I’m not sure what I’ll do with the second one. :smiley:

Here are pics of the front and rear of the brushed nickel box. Click to embiggen.


Nice

nice pickup goshdogit. Guessing your laundry room is bigger than mine, I have 1 900 lumen fixture for an area maybe 6’x6’, and its borderline too much. 1340 would be definitely too much in my space. Seems like it could be bright enough for a 10’ x 10’ bedroom even?

Some Googling indicates that a 100-watt incandescent puts out roughly 1500 lumens, in case that helps you determine how that would feel in a 10x10’ room.

The amount of light is great for this application. This laundry room is between the main hall and the attached garage. It’s the primary entrance for the homeowners, so a bright room is a good transition for eyes adjusting from outside to inside light levels.

Surprisingly, these fixtures are dimmable, and claim to work with ‘most household dimmers.’ I haven’t tested that claim though.

Speaking of dimmers, I’ve had mixed results using traditional incandescent dimmers with LED bulbs and fixtures. They either won’t work at all, or the dimmable range is non-linear and nearly all of the adjustment is at one end of the dimmer’s travel.

I was lucky to find twin-packs of ‘digital’ Feit dimmers for a deal at Costco last year. They provide a true 0-100% dimmable range with several different dimmable LED bulbs I’ve tried. They’re even programmable to adjust the bottom of the range if you won’t use much of the lower outputs. I think mine are this model, which seem to get less-than-stellar reviews on Amazon. I haven’t had any trouble with mine.

Thanks for the tips on lumens vs area, good to know.

Sell it for $30 on ebay. You’ll end up with a free light and maybe a couple extra dollars.

I'll give you a penny for it ....

a 60 WATT light bulb is 800 lumens.

Thanks for the tip on dimmers My new high cri led lightbulbs are dimmable but act really wonky on my old dimmer switches

I bought those exact lights to use in my finished basement where I needed an almost flush mount due to low ceiling. I am very happy with them and their performance. I added a remote relay between mains power and light fixture and have a switch that I can mount any where in the room. Best of luck and a great bargain if you ask me.

Sub

No response from DCH via email. So I haven’t heard from him in a long while. Hopefully he’s good.

Okay, DCH is alive. Lol. He emailed me back, he’s just busy with real life and drowning in good deals. He wanted me to assure y’all that he is not doing time for penny deals lol!

Thanks for the update…glad to hear that he is alive and doing well.

Whew! Good news! Thanks for posting!
