Garage lighting

[Binky]

so funny, i jsut this weekend took down the single one bulb light socket and wired in an outlet and ran 2 4ft florescents from lowes. $17/ea. between those 2 4 footers the 2 100w bulbs in the garage door opener, and the maybe 2 ft floresent on my cheap little workbench its plenty of light.

while i was at it i added a dusk till dawn sensor on the halogen i have on the driveway. so im pretty much a licensed journeyman electrician at this point.

god bless.

Too good to pass up

Anyone installed those Costco lights? If so how'd you like them?

I finally put up a new fixture. I went cheap for now. A single 4' 2 bulb flourescent T-8 fixture. It made a world of difference. I mounted it in the same spot as the gum ball fixture. Behind the garage door opener rinning left to right. I will eventually move it and run one on each side of the opener running front to back.

I put 4 of those LED's from Costco above the workbenches in my shop, and I love them! They can be hung or mounted...I made some custom mounts for them so that they extend out about 1.5' off of the 7' purlin on my back wall, and I wired them up on 2 separate switch zones. With all 4 on it's bright enough to do surgery.

Pics!

This is at night with just those 4 and the colored LED's turned on above....



Here's another angle with a few of the overheads on as well...you can see how bright it is by the way the picture is washed out on that back wall. It's worked out perfect having those up in front of the lift.

What's up with the blue lights? I'm pretty jealous of your garage space holmes, that shit's nice!

Thanks man! It's finally getting where I want it...it's been a long time coming for sure.

Those blue lights up top are just LED strips...I ran them facing up on the bottom side of that top channel. They have a wireless remote...change colors solid or multi, and they'll even do a little light show for those times when we crank up some Motown or Rick James.

Only thing missing is a pole and a steady stream of bad 80's rock.

Thanks for the suggestion on the shop lights. I was just shopping for lighting options for the garage in the new house. Who puts 1 light fixture in a garage? The previous owners of my house do. 1 bulb won't cut it.

my garage (well junk storage are right now) only has one single bulb in the middle. The few times Ive had to do anything in there, it's sucked. The garage door openers have bulbs, so I pulled the outer cover off them. It helped.

Im going to make a costco run here shortly. The garage is about to get cleaned out since the 69 will be coming home in the next few weeks.

Same here, right 1 bulb right smack dab in the middle of the the garage, right above the door opener. I need to replace the bulbs in the garage door opener and that would probably help. In addition to that, I have 1 power outlet in the garage. The previous owners definitely didn't work in this garage.
