Technical Specifications That Set The Bolt Apart
Powerful Illumination System
The PrimeLights Bolt series delivers exceptional performance with its 120W system, achieving an impressive 155 lumens per watt efficiency ratio. This translates to a total output of 18,600 lumens—equivalent to approximately 35,340 T8 fluorescent lumens while consuming 40% less power. The fixture operates on versatile voltage between 110-277V, drawing only about 1A at 120V or 0.43A at 277V.
Premium Construction
Built with durability in mind, the Bolt features heavy-duty 24-gauge steel housing finished with white baked-on enamel. This commercial-grade construction houses six 4-foot LED lamps that can be configured with either crystal-clear or frosted lens options to suit different lighting preferences and applications.
Superior Light Quality
Color temperature options include standard 5000K daylight white for maximum visibility, with an additional 4000K neutral white option available in the frosted version. With a superior color rendering index (CRI) of 85+, the Bolt ensures accurate color representation of tools, materials, and work surfaces. The wide 120° beam angle provides comprehensive coverage throughout your workspace, eliminating shadows and dark corners.
Built For Demanding Environments
Robust Certification Profile
The Bolt 8′ LED shop light meets rigorous industry standards with UL listing, NSF certification, and damp-location rating, making it suitable for a variety of challenging environments. These certifications verify the fixture’s safety and performance characteristics for commercial and industrial applications.
Exceptional Durability
Unlike traditional fluorescent fixtures, the Bolt utilizes shatter-resistant polycarbonate construction that eliminates glass hazards in workshop environments. This design consideration significantly reduces safety risks in active work areas. The fixture also operates without flicker, preventing eye strain and headaches during extended projects or workdays.
Performance In Extreme Conditions
With an impressive temperature tolerance range from -30°C to +50°C, the Bolt maintains consistent illumination in virtually any indoor environment. This broad operating range ensures reliable performance in unheated garages during winter or hot workshop conditions during summer months.
Industry-Leading Longevity
The 50,000-hour rated lifespan equates to approximately 40 years of operation at 4 hours per day, drastically reducing maintenance requirements compared to traditional lighting. This extended operational life is backed by a comprehensive 5-year warranty covering the entire fixture including all six LED lamps.
Installation Flexibility For Any Workshop Setup
Versatile Mounting Options
The Bolt offers multiple installation methods to accommodate various ceiling types and preferences. Surface or flush mounting can be achieved via convenient keyhole slots, while suspended installation is possible using chain or aircraft cables (sold separately). This adaptability makes the fixture suitable for both finished and unfinished ceilings.
Streamlined Electrical Connection
The fixture features single-point hard-wiring for clean, professional installation. For users seeking additional convenience, optional plug and cord accessories are available, simplifying the installation process and allowing for easier fixture relocation if needed.
Smart Integration Capability
The Bolt is compatible with occupancy sensors for additional energy savings and convenience in spaces with intermittent use patterns. This integration potential enhances the fixture’s efficiency beyond its already impressive base specifications.
Optimized Placement Guidelines
For maximum effectiveness, the recommended mounting height ranges from 8 to 20 feet, with coverage of approximately one fixture per 450 square feet for general workshop brightness. These guidelines ensure proper light distribution throughout the workspace while minimizing the number of fixtures required.
Performance Comparison: LED vs. Traditional Lighting
Energy Efficiency Advantages
The Bolt delivers equivalent illumination to traditional fluorescent systems while consuming approximately 40% less electricity. This significant efficiency improvement translates directly to lower operating costs and reduced environmental impact over the fixture’s lifetime.
Immediate Full Brightness
Unlike fluorescent fixtures that require warm-up time, the Bolt provides instant-on capability at full brightness regardless of ambient temperature. This immediate illumination enhances safety and productivity, particularly in spaces that are accessed intermittently.
Environmental Considerations
The LED technology in the Bolt contains no mercury or other hazardous materials, making both operation and eventual disposal safer compared to fluorescent alternatives. This aspect simplifies regulatory compliance and reduces environmental liability.
Consistent Performance
While fluorescent tubes typically experience significant light degradation over their operational life, the Bolt maintains consistent light output throughout its 50,000-hour lifespan. This stability ensures workspaces remain properly illuminated without requiring frequent bulb replacements or adjustments.
Thermal Management
The Bolt generates minimal heat compared to traditional lighting systems, creating a more comfortable working environment. This reduced heat output also contributes to lower cooling costs in climate-controlled spaces and decreased fire risk in all applications.
Ideal Applications For The Bolt 8′ LED Shop Light
Automotive Environments
The Bolt excels in garage workshops where detailed mechanical work demands superior illumination. Professional automotive repair shops particularly benefit from the fixture’s accurate color representation for critical tasks like paint matching and finish inspection.
Industrial Settings
Warehouses and distribution centers with high ceilings and large floor areas gain operational efficiency from the Bolt’s powerful output and wide coverage area. Manufacturing facilities implement these fixtures to improve quality control processes through consistent, high-quality illumination across production areas.
Agricultural Applications
The damp-location rating and robust construction make the Bolt ideal for agricultural buildings such as barns, equipment sheds, and processing areas where varying environmental conditions demand durable lighting solutions. The fixture’s resistance to temperature fluctuations ensures reliable performance year-round.
The Smart Investment: Why Professionals Choose The Bolt
The Bolt 8′ LED Shop Strip Light represents the intersection of professional-grade illumination and practical economics. When factoring the initial investment against decades of reliable service, reduced energy costs, and virtually eliminated maintenance expenses, this fixture delivers exceptional value. The combination of commercial-grade construction, superior light quality, and versatile installation options makes it the definitive lighting solution for serious workshops where compromises simply aren’t acceptable.
