I'll be ordering some 110 watt high bays and wanting to add a all in one dimmer such as the Lutron Diva. How do I determine how many lights can fit on one dimmer?

I was thinking one of this type dimmer where I could use the small slider to control the level to a lower point and when I'd actually be needing more light I could slide it up. this way when the kids etc go out there the lighting is adequate but can be increased when I need more. make sense?

Space is household garage, no major work done in it. Mostly hobby type stuff, I have a barn with a workshop for all that. I'm just looking to get this garage well lit, but not overkill. I feel dimmable would be best as we go out there pretty frequently to grab stuff out of the fridge or tool...

I appreciate your input. While those 8' lights definitely are at a great deal, the thought of mounting that many seems a bit like a task. I have a DIALux that you made up for me a few weeks ago, and was based off 4' fixtures like in the OP. The 8' fixtures I mentioned would work out in the...

Rethinking y LED lighting plan for the garage. To do it the typical 4' 2 light LED strip light I'd need to mount 28 fixtures. What a pain in the **** that would be, especially getting them all straight and squared etc. Looking at these high bays...

I have an opportunity to grab a bunch of these brand new for dirt cheap. Obviously I would need bulbs, will the OP recommended bulbs fit these sockets, and any tips as to how to properly remove the ballasts...

Thanks, I see the Sunex impacts are pretty well approved. I'll look more into them

Anyone have experience yet with Capri Tools now sold by Home Depot? They are made in Taiwan, but seem to have great reviews. I'm considering picking up this impact socket set...

Have this set that's been around a bunch of years. Don't do any heavy work so I've decided to part with it. I listed it on fb marketplace but one of you guys might be wanting this. Includes one 18" breaker bar, one 8" extension, and eight 12 point sockets ranging from 1-1/16" to 1-5/8". Good...

:thumbup: How about a Good, Better, Best list per category?? Probably get at least a few things in common!

So now that I have y garage project nearing completion, I have my New Age cabinets installed and slowly filling. I'm think for a winter project I will pick up some kaizen foam and make some custom cutout inserts for my tool drawers. Looking at my hodgepodge of tools acquired over the years, I'd...

Dangit, I spent an hour looking for these at my closest HD that showed inventory on BrickSeek, could not find them!
