Lithonia LightingCPHB Compact PRO LED High Bay Light, 18000 Lumens, 5000K Daylight Light (CPHB 18LM MVOLT 50K)

Love these lights. Installed in our open office warehouse with high ceilings and they’re perfect.

This are great lights , I bought 3 of them from Lowes and need three more so I ordered from here. The look was the same and the 18LM but these are 50k and the one from Lowes was 40k . I do like the 50k so much better.

I am very picky about color temperature when it comes to LED lighting. 4500K to 5000K is my preferred sweet spot for general purpose lighting and especially for task lighting. A more comfortable color temperature for around the house is 3500K to perhaps 4000K. Anyways, I have seen a lot of manufacturers claim 5000K in particular but in reality it is around 7000K, which I find intolerable. I can happily report that this light delivers an excellent color temperature and seems very close to 5000K to my eyes.I have included a picture of my temporary installation in my workshop. After deciding that I liked the positioning of the light, I went ahead and installed proper conduit, wiring, and mounting. If you are considering mounting this unit up high (as it is intended), I would highly recommend you consider 15K Lumen, 18K Lumen, 24K Lumen, and 30K Lumen models. They will give you more flexibility and more light should you discover you need it. The 12K Lumen model I tested (as well as all of the other models I just mentioned) have the ability to dim, when simply wired up to a 0-10V DC dimmer! You can buy the big dog 30K Lumen model and dim it down to the same brightness level as the 12K Lumen model, all while increasing the life of the light fixture. Need more light that you originally thought? No problem!When it comes to build construction and design safety, it is better than I expected. I have very high standards, since my history when it comes to high bay lights are luminaries wholly manufactured by Cree. I was impressed what this $90 unit offers considering that the Cree units I have previously dealt with cost over $800 per unit!

Look for my bedroom light I am more interested in a warmer color temperature but when I get in a work area like my woodworking shop or garage, I want all the brighter light I can get. So, for comparison a standard four-foot fluorescent bulb puts out 2850 lumens per bulb. This fixture puts out 12,000 and not only that it is at 5k on the brightness white balance scale.This fixture is designed to be put on a high ceiling, but I have another fixture at 20,000 lumens that is just like this one in my garage, and it illuminates the whole garage which is a 2 car in width. This one is way more compact than that. The fact that it is LED is huge because the amount of light it puts out compared to the electricity it uses blows the doors off of fluorescent bulbs. Plus, LED's have a usage life that is many times as well. I got so tired of replacing 4-foot fluorescents in my shop, garage, and attic I wound up throwing all of them out. Actually, I sold the shells as a pile.I'm going to be using this in my storage shed. It's a 10' x 14 foot. Just one of these fixtures provides a lot more light than is needed. It's going to be great to be able to see what I am doing even during the evening hours.

edit: The plant i put on my workbench is thriving! This light works fantastic as a grow light. Before risking one of my plants i decided to try out a seedling. If there isn't adequate light, the seedling would have gotten very tall and leggy but that did not happen. Seedling stayed small and compact and has grown a nice set of starter leaves. Obviously the light isn't marketed as a grow light but I am going to be using it for my seedlings every spring now that I have seen the results.original review: I'm using the light for my workbench in my basement and it is great! The light starts dissipating the further you get from it, so if you have a large area you may want a couple. For the corner with my work bench, it is perfect. It feels like i'm working outside in the sun! I think it may even work as a grow light for plants and intend on putting one of my house plants down there to see how it does. The spectrum is the same, but only time will tell! Overall, i am very pleased with this light!

I just got a new house with a neat old 1-car garage that more or less acts as a super-fancy garden shed. The ceiling is a bit high, and mounting this up at about the 12' mark is just amazing. It's plenty for the whole building.I had installed at my old house, a 5500 lumen 2'x4' panel light. This thing is about a quarter the size and has over twice the lumens. It's sort of unbelievable. I mean, it's not really over twice as much, because I think light has the subwoofer/bass effect where when you have more from the same small place, it isn't as big of a difference to add more to that same place (meaning, two lights apart from each other equaling the same total lumen output would probably appear* to be greater. But this may just be my perception.Either way, this light is awesome. And super easy to install if you're just changing out a single bulb and not wanting to run more cable.

I needed a super bright light for body work in the shop. While I have good lighting it just was not enough sometimes when doing body work so I decided to get this high bay light knowing that it was really intended to be mounted higher that this so you would cover a large area but I did not need it for that. After mounting it and adding a power cord to it I was blown away with just how bright this is!!! It makes my work area look more like daylight and removes the problem I was having with shadows when doing body work.The light seems to be very solidly built and even though it was not really intended for this type of use it is perfect for me and solved my lighting issue so totally worth it.Hope this helps and thanks.
