    Forget Shoplights!! LED strips inside of the Ceiling Joists

    Well. I feel silly. I'll redo this when I get home in a few days. Which app are you using?

    Forget Shoplights!! LED strips inside of the Ceiling Joists

    I am going to do something similar for any extra lighting I need, like in the attic. Your idea sounds like a winner. I may end up doing that. I second the motion on posting some pictures.

    I was at a brand new compressor rebuilding facility and I noticed they have LED lights installed. I took this reading. It's really bright in here too.

    Forget Shoplights!! LED strips inside of the Ceiling Joists

    There are a few reviews on amazon that show those power adapters burning up/ melting, etc; and I wasn't thrilled about that. They are undersized for a 16ft roll and I would need one for every light run. I also didn't want to have low frequency led blinking as seen on Christmas lights (video...

    I guess I'll pack up my tools and start using my workshop as a storage shed. You got any space in your "bright as the sun" workshop? Lol:bounce:

I guess any electricity being encased in wood could be a problem but then again, electrical wires are ran through wood wall studs everyday. All electricity...

    Forget Shoplights!! LED strips inside of the Ceiling Joists

    So here is the LUX reading. It was a free app. I just walked around my shop for 1 minute holding my phone stretched out at about 4 feet high. Regardless of what the reading is, it is really bright. I guess one downside is that you need to wear a hat. The lights are so bright that it hurts to...

    Everything's running great. I really don't even think about it since I haven't had to mess with it since it was installed. I have another power supply that I haven't used yet. I'm working on wiring the lights in the attic space currently.

    Yes it was a mess. I used clear tape to attach my vacuum hose after a few passes. The keyhole bit doesn't clear shavings from the hole very well.

    Oh hey! What's up! I'm still here. I did take the measurements. I'll have to look back at my screenshots. Or download the LUX app again.
