Ive been running a tp-link bridge to my buildings with a tp-link access point mounted in the walk way between them for 3 years now and 0 issues with it. I was in a similar situation where trenching in a line was a no go due to driveway and patios.
You might find my thread helpful from when i put hyperlite ufo's in my shed. So far I have had 0 issue with them but I am sure there are better fixtures out there if your willing to spend the money. For my needs they are still working well...
I am with Bugnut, likely the progress payments to this point have not made him whole to this point. While I have next to no experience with residential contractors I deal with industrial contractors of all types daily, the only time the contractor is actually ahead is if we give a down payment...
Here is my install of 150W hero series lights in 36x48 area of my back pole barn.

These are the switches I used on mine and they work perfectly...
Here is what I did on my ufo's with dimming but I did not use conduit for mine.

And the dimming pigtail on the lights I bought was pretty short as well.
Is the back of the panel flat? Hard to tell in the picture and not a ford guy at all. If so could you carefully screw the panel to a piece of lumber? 2x8 or some nominal size and then clamp that down on the table of your bridgport to cut with hole saw?
No, as you can see in my install I have the cord zip ******* even pulling it up and down the lights wanted to hang slightly crooked. The problem with these is in the hook design, I dont have a good picture to explain but the center of the hook is not above the center of the threaded hole/stud...
I dont know how low your talking but ufo's in general arent good for lower ceilings as there light is pretty focused. Also a white ceiling wont make a huge difference with them as they put out 0 light upward. Check out the sidewalls on my shed and you can see what I mean the top couple foot of...
I can confirm that they do hang slightly skewed. I put a dozen of the 150 watts in my back shed this summer.
Here is a pic of one of mine installed from my loft to show how I did all this. You can see it is ever so slightly titlted but it makes no difference what so ever in the performance...
I cant speak on the conversion tubes as I knew even if I upgraded the t12 fixtures that I had they would still be inadequate and I absolutely despised them by the time I ready to upgrade lighting in my back shed.
But I can tell you that ufo's work just fine at 13ish feet high. This is my back...
Jake,
I believe you will be much happier with the additional width on your building! On the tool storage my vote would be for a tool bag as some have shown above. The big box stores carry dozens of styles to choose from. There is a reason you see almost every building maintenance man and...
24' its quite narrow to have 2 cars side by side and expect to have anything setting along the walls at all. My shop is 24x54 pole building that is admittedly setup for one vehicle down the center but with work benches or cabinets there is no way of getting a vehicle beside or past another in...
That definitely looks like them and looks like I had a some pretty rare fixtures, I kind of figured they were but I scrapped them all to get them out of the way. Several owners before me used the building as a small engine repair shop so I am guessing he is the one who put them in.
Also you...
