Default Used Shop Lights

These are HID Warehouse Lights, brand new, they are around $225 each. They all worked when they came down. We simply upgraded to bigger, brighter ones.





All of the lights in the pictures, plus all the transformers.



$500. + shipping. takes all of them.

You might want to mention that these lights are 3 phase lights and will not work with 120/240 voltages.

A 3 phase service will have 4 wires feeding the building, 1 neutral and 3 hot legs or phases and often the voltage is 277 volts phase to ground and 480 volts phase to phase. A single phase service only has 3 wires feeding the building with 1 neutral and 2 hot legs . The voltage is your common everyday household 120/240 volts. If you look at the label on the ballast you will see it says 208 or 277 volts which is a 3 phase service voltage. Hope this helps and good luck on the sale, those are very nice lights.

No, I think your pretty close on the money. This is a item that not everybody can use, it's more of a commercial type of fixture. Rons 00z ,sometimes it will say that if it is a item that is commonly bought by Joe public, but as I stated these lights are more of a commercial type of lighting fixture and the give away to them being 3 phase is the voltage = 208-277 on the ballast label. There are a few single phase transformers that make these voltages by stepping up 120/240 volts to the 208/277 required voltage and this could be the case with these lights. If so, then I will correct myself by saying they WILL work with the more common household 120/240 voltage . If there is a transformer that goes with these lights, read the label to see if "STEPS UP " 120/240 to 208/277 volts, if it does then your good to go with selling them to anybody who wants them for the ultimate garage lighting project.

even if those lights did work with 120/220 volt service I would not recomend putting them in your garage, those bulbs get HOT. But yes, if you have 3 phase servicein your shop, this is a smokin deal. TTT for ya
