I picked this light up for my garage and basement, both large spaces that were previously dim with old CFL bulbs. I initially considered the 120W version but decided to go with the 80W to save a bit. Was it bright? Absolutely. The first time I turned it on, I was so taken aback by the brightness that I saw spots in my vision for 15 minutes! I didn’t fully grasp what 12,000 lumens meant—it’s the equivalent of around 200 regular bulbs, and this is just the 80W model, not even the 120W.Honestly, photos and videos can’t do justice to how bright this light is.However, I ran into a problem: my garage and basement have relatively low ceilings, so the light is right within my line of sight. It’s so intensely bright that it’s almost painful to be in the room with it directly visible. If my ceilings were higher, this would be an ideal lighting solution for these spaces, but at this height, it’s just too much.I wish this light came with an option for a diffuser. Even softening it a bit would make it more manageable for spaces with lower ceilings.At 6000K, the light also has a blue tint, which only adds to the blinding effect. The box claims a “wide CCT range from 2700K to 6500K,” but I didn’t see an option to adjust the temperature. If I could drop it down to 4000K or 5000K, the light would likely feel more balanced and easier on the eyes.That said, there are some excellent features here. This light fits a standard E26/E27 socket, so it’s a straightforward swap from a regular bulb. It’s a bit bulky, so make sure you have the space for it. Unlike other large LEDs I’ve used, this one doesn’t get hot, which shows it’s dissipating heat efficiently. Plus, it has a handy twist feature, letting you twist freely and then adjust the three panels to direct light exactly where you need it.Ultimately, I’ll be swapping this out for some LED bulbs that are bright but a bit less blinding. If this light allowed for more diffusion, adjustable color temperature, or even a dimming option, it’d be perfect.If you’re considering this light, know what you’re getting—it’s extremely bright. Be ready for the intensity!
