t5 HO fixtures

reading the man cave garage thread got me thinking about what i just put into my garage. had some old tech 8’ flourescent fixtures and was going to replace them with some t8’s. went to home depot and looked at the displays and went H*** s***! i want those! Those turned out to be t5 HO 8’ fixtures rated at 20,000 lumes/8’ unit. now i know this is budget light forum but dayum! those are beyond bright. i was a little worried since the specs call for a min floor to light distance of 15’ and i only have about 10’ but, they are just very very impressive for shop lights. when i am working in the garage i just need light, lots of it and these will really put it out there.
