I had them also do a layout for me and it matched what we laid out on our own a year ago!!! So glad since the electric is already in place. They gave two options: 2 lamp fixtures at 5700 lumens or the 3 lamp fixtures you suggested at 8000 lumens. They said that the first is 65 footcandles and...

I cant seem to find any LED strip/shop lights at 7,000-8,000 Lumens. Anybody know of any?

Oh wow.....thanks for keeping me from making a big mistake. Now to find some higher lumen strip lights since the garages are are mix of storage and real workspace.

Has Anybody used these MaxLite fixtures? Good result? Im lighting two 25x30 garages with 11’ ceilings and white walls. Thinking of 3 rows of 4 four foot fixtures in each garage. Jeff

Bert and Radix2 understood my poorly worded question. I have the heaters already and am simply trying to minimize the wiring cost and the breaker real estate in my panel. One heater on its own branch circuit can be run with 12/2 and a 20amp dp breaker where as two baseboards on a single circuit...

Quick question. Is there a difference in energy usage between running one 2000W 240v baseboard or two on the same circuit? Meaning will running one take twice as long to heat and maintain a space Vs running two? So in short the energy usage would be the s ame either way but the speed to beat...

So if I read these correctly “the book” says two 2000W 240v baseboard heaters if on a single branch circuit need to use a 30amp dual pole breaker with 10/2 wire. BUT due to the only very slight amp overage some folks say it’s OK to use 12/2 with a 20amp dual pole breaker. Isnt the code book...

Thanks guys. I thiught not as the max for a 20amp 240v circuit using 12/2 is 16 amps and this would work out to 16.7 amps. I know its close, but have you seen the xost if a roll of 10/2 lately?? 10/3?? WOW! But I also dont want to draw too much current over the 12/2 and keep blowing the...

Looking to see IF I can put two electric baseboard heaters on a single 240v branch circuit with a 20amp double pole breaker using 12/2 w/ground wire. Heaters are 2000W each. And yes, now that the temps have hit the upper 90’s I am running wire in the attic and garage to install heater...

Thanks and great question I did not give information on. The floor joists for the attic space are 2x8 and 16”oc. In addition they are only running half way across the garage to where they are supported in the center by a steel beam. The attic storage space is less than half as wide as the garage...

I'm back, lost my Mom back around Thanksgiving so we put a hold on everything else as we prepare to take in my 87 Year Old Dad. Part of this is now needing to convert some attic space above our attached garage to finished space for clean storage. Question is how do I insulate it? Here is the...

Thanks. I plan on adding seceral 24x24 inch vent grids along the knee wall and maybe a 12"x3" vent panel in each ceiling bay that would allow for external air to be pulled through the space and still provide cooling and ventilation to the unfinished attic space. Im really looking to simply make...

Hello all, need some help here as I am not sure what to use for insulation prior to finishing off this space for storage use only. Location is southern NJ. My goal is to both make it a "Clean Storage space" instead of the current attic space, and to try to reduce the heat and cold "Pocket"...

So it seems that many say rent a grinder and grind. Almost makes it sound easy. Is it? Sorry but what does it really mean? Im very very familiar and comfortable around industrial tools but never ground a floor so Im in the dark about it. Any details on what is needes and how to do it?

Justin, thanks for your hundreds of impartial comments on your and others products. Quick question as I prepare to make my decision...... I doubled my garage and in essence is now two halves under one roof with each "side" being 32'X25'. One side is the original cement slab that is 25 years...
