Do NOT put these in a shop light unless you like exposions, fires, and electrocution!
It says right on their page that it is for use in their fixtures only!
These are almost exactly like the old Sunbrite Gen 1 bulbs. Ballasts are internal to the tube; 90 low powered LEDs per foot.
just hooked them up. they are sweet as pie. you are right about plugging them in as it popped my fuse. sorry no explosions. they are extremely bright. whole thing would cost around 150.00 if you want two. would easily grow coral in up to a 90 gallon tank with two. you definitely do not want to plug them in without rewiring the shop light to accommodate the led bulbs. the problem with shop lights is it has too much equipment in the guts...
