Is it just me or do led work lights suck?

I changed all my 4ft fluorescent bulbs to 4000k LEDs and couldn’t be happier. Didn’t want to add more fixtures so, just added more light. Actually took 2 fixtures down and intend to make brackets, with magnets, to stick the extra fixtures to each side of my 2 post.

I have been slowly changing out my 8' fluorescent light bulbs with LED'S as the fluorescent bulbs burn out. I think I am at 4 or 5 of the 16 bulbs so far. They are much brighter and also come on immediately when I flip on the switch when the garage is cooler while the remaining take a few minutes to warm up abit. I do keep me furnace on at 50 degrees all winter until I go out in the garage. Then I kick it up to 65.
I did install some magnetic LED light strips on my hoist. I don't even need to use any drop lights under the cars while working on them.

those magnetic LED strips look great! Do you by chance have a part # or link to order? Would these give enough light if I placed on the underside of my hood to do engine work?

I don't remember the part #. I bought them off of Amazon. Yes, I am sure they would, but they are 25' long strips each.
