Bright lights, but shorter cords and lower wattage and lumens than advertised
These lights are bright, but I connected them to two different power meters only to discover that they only drew 76 watts instead of the advertised 90w.I contacted the seller about this and they confirmed that these do only operate at about 80% - 85% of the advertised output. So it seems that these lights are more in line with the performance of 75w/9k lumen lights that I see sold for less money.Additionally, the cords are very thin and the plugs don't feel like they'll last very long. The connector cords were listed as 47.5" long, but they were 39.5" long (which did make a difference for my planned installation).The seller did offer to send longer cords, but I ended up returning these and going with different lights running at 120w/14400 lumen from another seller for the same price-per-8'-fixture. While the power draw of these other lights is similarly under the advertised 120w, the new lights are much closer to 120w and they are for sure brighter than these and the cords are much more robustThe lights are probably fine for what they are. All of them arrived in working order and the shipping box was nice and sturdy. And like I said, they are bright lights, so if these come down in price or if they have some feature that you really want, then they're probably going to be fine for you -- I just couldn't justify keeping them when a different product that would meet my needs better was available for the same price. I will give this seller credit for responsiveness, but it ended up not working out.

My task was to light up a 20 X 60’ truck garage.
After paying way too much for a single florescent light from the local chain store, I hit the Internet for a better (cheaper) solution. My search brought me here. After reading other reviews here I made a purchase.My task was to light up a 20 X 60’ truck garage. These did the trick. We put up two rows on the ceiling about 3’ off each wall. 12 lights total. Very impressed! I bought 20 lights for the job so I now also have a new light in my attic and the work bench too with 4 left over at this point.90W 11000LM 6000K, Cold White 10/29/2020. Let's see how they last.

RF interference
First of all, I like these lights EXCEPT the RF generated interferes with my shop radio (AM/FM). I tried relocating the radio antenna and isolating it on a dedicated electrical circuit but it did not help. The static they create makes it impossible to listen to broadcasts. I did not see any labels or markings about FCC part 15 compliance so it is likely they do not meet this standard. This is unfortunate as they provide bright and clean white light with much less energy consumption than the T8 fluorescent fixtures I was hoping to replace.If you do not have any potential radio issues I would definitely recommend these.Sadly, I will be returning these.

Bright and Easy to Install, But Connectors Too Short
I have 20 of these lights installed in my shop and they are bright and were easy to install. However, as others have mentioned, the butt connectors for connecting the fixtures end-to-end are too short. I have 10 pairs of lights, each pair connected to power via a pigtail and the second fixture via the butt connector. As the lights naturally heat and cool, they move slightly lengthwise and the mounting brackets allow the movement. It only takes about 1/8th inch for the light to become disconnected. It only took a few days after installation for the first few lights to stop working and within two weeks, the second lights in all my pairs had become disconnected so I had lost half of my shop lighting. I had to get back up to the ceiling and install screws in the ceiling at each end of my pairs to try and prevent them from moving and separating lengthwise. Even after doing this, I still had two pairs become disconnected again. There is no issue when using the corded connectors or pigtails. The butt connectors should be redesigned to be longer or incorporate a positive locking mechanism. Also FYI, this problem is not unique to this brand of light, I have a few other brands (chinese brands, not big name-brand) and all of them use this same style of connector.

Working Great!
All worked fine when I received them and have continued to work fine. Light is good and did not need as many in one area as I thought. This room is 27' x 14' and just four 8' lights were required. The only issue sofar is It would have been nice if the plugs in the ends would lock in. The plugs stay in fairly well, but some of the lights will have there plug work out even in areas where there is no apparent ambient vibrations. Over all good lights for the money, quick shipping, and no issues that needed support.

WOW, unbelievably bright.
WOW, they really do brighten my garage. Installing the tiny clips was easy, but little awkward snapping into place because the clips would flex too much. The lead wires are very tiny and connecting to a 14AWG solid copper was a little challenging. I had to strip a large amount of lead wire to fasten wire nuts. Once that was accomplished, watch out for unbelievable illumination.2/15/21 UPDATE: the butt connections between lights are weakened or have to be tapped to get lights to work

went well very bright,a couple of extras you might want to think about
easy install,I mounted using the brackets included,BUT it looked so flimsy I bought wire ties with holes to mount and put them behind the bracket so they would be fastened with the bracket and hold the assembly better,and longer/stronger screws, when using the daisy chain cords I also used nylon wire ties with 3m adhesive pad to mount the wires close to the ceiling, worked like a champ- and more secure, BTW the light is BRIGHT WHITE, almost Blue at 6K, I was facing replacing most of my T5 bulbs at close to half the price of these, chose a better solution-hopefully these will last...
