Hey! I have a cottage garage that Im slowly doing a car restoration project in... Its an hour and a half 1 way away from where I live. Right now we have a super basic setup for radiant heat. It works when its on for sure but I want to add some control to it and add a wifi controller so I can...

Hey GJ. I have a ~20 year old craftsman tool box I don't have a standard use for. Have any of you guys lagged a top box to the wall before? I want to use this top box to put my milling/drilling tools and holders in this box but also need to be able to put my horizontal band saw under it for...

I omitted the two along the bottom wall (garage door interference) and evenly distributed things in a similar fashion using 11 fixtures and your layout. Just having the boxes up on the ceiling now I can tell it will be amazing lighting. Thanks for your time putting this together Platonic! I...

I am thinking more along the lines of when I get overhead cabinets in place throwing shade on some areas. if I have very little storage or equipment, I agree.

Thanks so much platonic. I went by the supply house yesterday and the higher lumen fixtures aren't a stocked product and would have a minimum purchase of more fixtures than I would ever need. We have exceeded what I thought I would need but I have the fixtures to get in place with your data...

glad I checked in... I didn't know those racks existed and was thinking I needed a shelf for ours soon when I get working on it.

That's ok. It happens.... our lighting (and generally most things) are quite a bit more expensive... more than just the exchange. I've sent you the CAD files in email. I expect to add some wall-mounted storage at some point but not certain what that will be yet.

I cant seem to get the CAD file compressed enough to load directly to this site via ZIP attachment. can you send me an email to [email protected] and I will send it to you? that site you linked to for the higher lumen lights didn't seem to want to ship to Canada. I will try to figure it...

Yes I must have. Here it is. http://www.cooperindustries.com/content/public/en/lighting/products/recessed_linear_lighting/strips/_867561.ssd.html Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you don't mind, that would be appreciated. here is the link to the manufacturer and they have all of the data. I think this amount of fixtures is about the cap for my budget, but I can play with the placements a bit. if there are huge gains with another fixture or two, I might have to bite...

Is there such thing as too much light if its dimmable? I have one of these lights to test and I like the color and output... now to get more to position them prior to closing the ceiling so I don't have to climb around in there to pull wires. Light...

stopped by my local supply shop and they suggested these are their most common light fixtures. $65 each Canadian, integrated LED. http://rabdesign.ca/product/smw4-led48/ 48w 4358lumen 4000k cri >80 it has IES files but it doesn't specify the lighting angle on its own to know how suitable it...

I'm having a bit of a struggle coming up with some lighting ideas for my shop, any insight would be helpful. Image with layout attached. Garage is 21' deep by 19'3" with a 5'11" full width overhead storage area that reduces the ceiling in that area to 7'6". Thanks!

there is no way your going to need 100amps. if you have any workable space in the garage (aka a human can fit inside) you wont fit enough tools/equipment to pull that. the difference in price for wire to go from 60a to 100a is more than they are letting on here. a few hundred dollars more is...

I mostly do medium duty TIG welding at the bench. If these bulbs are dimmable I will toss a dimmer on my task lighting and have all the power but not need it I suppose.
