    Yoke or knuckle mount for outside floods

    I could do those, but I was hoping for something that will last longer than I have had led's last in those. The lights are about 25' off of the ground, so changing out bulbs or fixtures will be an ordeal.

    Yoke or knuckle mount for outside floods

    We are building a new house and the electrician put three (3) boxes in the soffits of the house to install floods/security lighting. I have been looking at these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06ZY3VWV8/?tag=atomicindus08-20 with a yoke mount, but I was wondering whether it would be better to...

    Recommendation for lighting a 35' x 25' garage

    I’ve read those till i’m Bleary eyed. They make little sense to me and I’m a chemical engineer with several mechanical and electrical patents. Thanks. I guess I need the garage lighting for lighting dummies.

    Another mini split install!

    Thanks. The contractor I spoke to about my garden room acted like installing these was some type of Voodoo, but looking at the videos online it looked pretty straightforward as long as you were diligent. Thanks for the information. :thumbup:

    DIY Mini-Split system?

    I recently looked to replace the heating and cooling system we have in a garden room and got a quote for a Mitsubishi Mini-Split system for $3,500. Needless to say, I went back with my $825 PTHP which I seem to have to replace about every 7-8 years, but it got me to thinking about heating and...

    Anyone Using LED Flood Lights?

    I put two 55W LED floods in my garage at 8' and they make it daylight in the garage for these old eyes. I would certainly believe that the extra 8 - 10 feet wouldn't be too much for them.

    Garage makeover after 20 years

    Not ashamed of the before, just wasn't something I wanted to take a picture of. Yes I kept up the same pegboard and just painted it.

    Garage makeover after 20 years

    Thanks. I have enjoyed looking at the garage ideas that a lot of guys have posted. We are on a city lot and therefore land locked with our little 2 car garage. I like driving into it and knowing everything has a place.

    Garage makeover after 20 years

    Thanks. No I don't have any before pics. The big change is getting everything off of the floor. We had wire shelves that held gardening products, car detailing products, car chemicals, etc. It was difficult to clean and even when it was put in place looked messy. Those are the welded...
