Costco sells a ceiling light that does 24k lumens for just over $100.

The problem with lights like that is the CRI[1].

Getting just lumens is cheap. Getting a full spectrum of light is where costs increase.

This is the reason I chose to go with the specific Cree bulbs (linked in original post) that get a 90+ CRI rating

The Costco lights list a CRI of 90 in the user manual.

Oh my... Thank you for finding a thing I need to spend money on now. =D


I hate dark/dingy basements, so one of my first purchases with my new house was 100k lumen of Costco shop lights. I do find myself cleaning the basement, doing laundry, and working on projects more when the sun starts to set at 5PM.
