Does anybody have recommendations for LED shop lights?  I had 20, 4 foot long, fluorescent fixtures. Tried the Walmart LED bulbs that work in the fluorescent fixtures, but 2 have already died. Maybe in there a year.  Gonna have to brake down and spend the cash for some true LED fixtures/bulbs.
If you can point me in a good direction, I would appreciate it. Thanks

I had sixteen 4' light fixtures in my shop, mix and match.  I finally decided to go to Menards and buy the 41" led lights. I used 8 of them and they work great.  The fluorescent fixtures were hung by hooks screwed into the ceiling, and they weren't really lined up. Looked kind of dumb. I looked around the shop and found two 50' 1/8 inch cables and some turnbuckles, ran the two cables 40' end to end and used the turnbuckles to tighten them. I did add a support at 20' so the cables wouldn't sag. I used the supplied hooks to hang the lights on the cable. Will be easy enough to change IF they ever burn out in my lifetime.

I think they started at about $20 each, and kept coming down in price.
