Ok, I've mentioned these before. They're LED garage lights with three little tiltable (outward) panels. I've had them over the top shelf of my plant stand for a year or three and I've been very pleased with them. Though not NASA quality results, some testing with my iPhone and Photone gave me these measurements: At 12" 365-PPFD and 16-DLI and at 6" 755-PPFD and 27-DLI. Not too shabby. 
They're sold at Costco. I was there yesterday and they have them on sale for $23 (or $24?) for a pair of them...less than $12 a piece. I did have to deal with warranty on one of the ones I had bought...Global Value Lighting was quick to send a replacement when one panel on a lamp went out...I've still got the bad light and can still use it but has only two lit panels. These will easily cover what a Yescom 225 (on backorder) will cover....actually these 3-panel jobs burn 80w compared to Yescom's white burning 22w. These are *BRIGHT*, but they also run warmer so be aware of that!!! They also require more "headroom" than a regular square panel LED....maybe a total of 3-inches thick so if putting *between* shelves it might take up more space than you would want it to...or not. And, of course, they're made in China.
My plants seem to really appreciate them. Capillaris and brevifolia grow wonderfully probably 16" below these. Capes sitting a foot+ away are covered in dew. Some small flytraps I have seem to have enjoyed being beneath them. Etc., etc.,...
I've seen these listing elsewhere but for several dollars more than what Costco is selling them for. Anyhow, I just wanted to chunk this out there in case someone is looking for a couple of inexpensive lights or maybe just a "backup" light.
