FAQs

COB stands for chip on board. A corn cob light contains many rows of small LED chips in an arrangement on a cylinder shaped bulb similar to corn on the cob. Hence the name “corn cob LED bulb”. Many of our other lights use the same quality LED chips.

Each space is different, depending on your ceiling height, number of light fixtures and location on the ceiling/spacing, the type of project you are trying to complete, and many more factors. As a very broad guide, you would want: between 2,500-5,000 lumen for a 1-car garage with 10ft ceilings, between 5,000-10,000 lumen for a 2-car garage with 10ft ceilings; above 10,000 lumens for a 3-car garage or any space with ceilings 12 ft and higher.

GT-Lite lights are damp rated. If used outdoors they must be protected from the weather: either installed under a porch/overhang, or in screen rooms and patios. Some COB lights are not rated for enclosed fixtures, so post lamps and other similar styles are not compatible with these bulbs. Check out our Lumen Tough line for enclosed and wet rated COB bulb options.

While LED lights do put off significantly less heat when compared to incandescent and halogen style bulbs, high output folding bulbs will heat up over time. Any transformation of energy into light will create heat and our products are specifically designed to operate as efficiently as possible. Please be careful handling bulbs after prolonged use. While there is no fire danger they may still be hot to the touch for the first few minutes after being used for an extended period.

On average, LED grow lights use less wattage than fluorescent grow lights and have a longer lifespan.

In addition to energy savings, LED grow lights offer a low heat output which keeps plants cooler and helps retain moisture in the soil. Our grow bulbs emit both red and blue spectrum light. Blue Light supports vegetative growth, while Red Light supports flowering.

Grow lights are perfect for starting fruit and vegetable seedlings in the early spring indoors, before transplanting in the garden once the weather allows. Grow lights are also ideal for flowers and herbs, and any indoor plant that would benefit from more red and blue spectrum light.

While we can provide the PPF output and wattage of our bulbs, we are unable to give exact information on every plant’s individual needs. Please do further research on your specific plant type, growing location in the home, climate, temperature, and many other factors to determine your plant’s particular needs.

Our grow bulbs emit both red and blue spectrum light. Blue Light supports vegetative growth, while Red Light supports flowering. The Full Spectrum Color promotes plant growth.

GT-Lite offers both rechargeable and plug-in work lights. Some of our lights even offer an added USB port to charge your phone and other devices while you work. All of our work lights are lightweight and portable for home or on the job.

Lighting needs vary based on the jobsite, time of day, and availability of power. As a general guide, work lights with 1200-2000 lumen are perfect for compact areas like under the sink or workbenches. We have both a plug-in and rechargeable version. For medium-sized jobs like working under the hood of the car or in the garage, 4000-7000 lumens is great. For large job sites, working at night, or construction where you need the light to spread to the walls and ceiling, 10,000 lumens or more is ideal.

Our work lights are damp rated and can withstand ambient moisture and dust in outdoor environments. They should always be protected from rain, snow, and standing water. All plugs and receptacles should always be kept dry to avoid electric shock. 

Your rechargeable work light comes with a USB-A to Micro charging cable.

1. Insert the Micro end into the work light.
2. Plug the USB-A end into an AC or DC power adapter.
3. Plug adapter into power and charge for at least 8 hours.

Our work lights come with a built-in padded handle for comfort and carrying. It is recommended to unplug the work light from power when moving the light to other locations. 

These lights have a color rendering index of 80.

Our work lights operate much cooler than a halogen unit! After one hour, the face of the light may be body temperature or slightly higher. This light is perfect for your typical remodeling job site! This product is not recommended for use near a gas source and is not vapor proof.

Our linkable shop lights come with the linking power cord connected. Each unit’s power cord plugs directly into the next unit, creating a daisy chain.

Linkable means that multiple units can connect together using only one power outlet. Only the first shop light needs to be near a power outlet. The remaining shop lights are directly linked and powered by the unit connected next to it.

Each shop light's linking capabilities are different. Please refer to each individual user manual and spec sheet to see the maximum number of lights linked.

Most of our GT-Lite shop lights have only one light output. Shop lights are not compatible with dimmer switches. One of our shop lights, (10,000) has two power levels, low which is 5,000 lumens, and high which is 10,000 lumens. 

These lights have a color rendering index of 80.
