Came across this sale on what looks to be quality Noribachi LED high bays. Check out the sale on other lights as well. http://cheaphighbays.com/product.html?l=highbay-a&gclid=CjwKEAiAlZDFBRCKncm67qihiHwSJABtoNIgc-9fYu5oqJQqHS5RmvOB-vrIpsy9Qdi8n-jI2tYoHBoC65bw_wcB

Finally got around to installing the remote lights for my Liftmaster jackshaft openers. The covers are flimsy and ugly, and the bases not designed for wall mount. (I'm not putting them in my vaulted ceiling which goes from 14' to 20'.) Anyone here modify the bases or covers to look and work...

Hi all: My Bosch cordless drill (18V, model 34618) has a broken chuck and perhaps worse. None of my 3 batteries hold a good charge (NiCads?, not Lithium) Actually cannot get the chuck off; it appears that threads are stripped or something. Anyway, assuming I can get the chuck off, a replacement...

Hi all: According to a couple of companies, their iso foam board products have finishes that can be used a the finish surface of an interior wall or ceiling, (Dow Thermax, Rmax TSX 8510). Have any of you done this? Pics? Here is my dilemma. I've insulated the bottom 8' with standard FG batts...

Hi all: The "green beast" resto reminded me or a question I wanted to ask regarding small parts storage. I'm sure this has been covered someplace on GJ, but a quick search did not come up with answers. The question is, small parts cases (horizontal storage) or small drawer storage (vertical)...

Hi all: Original build thread of the barn/garage/workshop/basketball gym are here: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=287155&highlight=barn+jives Finally finished the rough wiring (will get real electrician to finish off the panel in the garage and house), and started...

Hi all: Some LED fixtures have built in cooling fans, like this: http://growingdank.com/product/galaxyhydrotm-led-150w-high-bay-led-light-fixture-with-cob-reflector-white-12300lumens/ Most do not have fans, but rely on heat sinks with cooling fins. Do you think the fans offer more, or...

Hi all: I've got a Schumacher portable jumper, standard 12V, 650 amps or so, that won't hold a good charge. It is about 5-6 years old. Is it dust or is there anyway to get it to hold a charge?

Hi all: The ears (screw holes) on the receptacle ******** my new install stick out too far. The receptacles will be fit inside a 1 1/8" thick panel, thus need to be flush. Can I just bend/break these off? Here is a pic...

Hi all: I'm about to remote mount my garage motion sensor for two barn lights. According to the first diagram below, the lights are wired in parallel with the sensor, that is, both lights are wired directly to the sensor. (switch>light/light) I don't want to do it that way, but rather, wire in...

It's been about a year since the Amish finished our garage / barn / basketball gym. The build was detailed here: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=287155&highlight=jives I've been spending the summer doing the rough electrical and believe I may be ready for the first...

The photo below tells the problem, but not all. This is my last circuit after two weeks of coming home everyday and wiring up the garage. A 240V circuit, the farthest receptacle, about 85' of wire in total. Was hot, tired, sweating like hog, and punctured the wire about 45' away from the from...

My eye caught this on Ebay. . .a 4 lamp LED fixture, 72W, delivering 18,000 lumens. I understand the concept of delivered lumens vs. total lumens, so something seems fishy here. A 72W fixture may put out 7000-8000 total lumens (check out the company webpage, not just the Ebay page), so how can...

Lots of questions lately as I'm wiring up the garage. About to wire up the electrical box for the outside motion detection lights. Power will come from inside the barn, not conduit on the outside. Can surface mount the box on the metal ribbed panel, or can cut a 4" hole and inset the box...

Anyone ever use these motion-sensing LED flood lights? Amazon has a ton of them, various manufacturers. I'm seriously considering them over my garage doors. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016VS0ZNQ/?tag=atomicindus08-20 or what may be a little better quality...

Just double checking. Need about 50' more of 12/2 Romex, but have about 75' extra of 12/3. Any problem running the 12/3 in the place of the 12/2 and ignoring the extra wire?

Hi all: I'd like to add one of these classic style dusk-to-dawn lights, but I need a motion sensor: http://www.kolmart.com/Barn-Light-Fixture-LED-with-Photocell_p_657.html Or one of these, but it does not throw enough light (> 3000 lumens): http://www.lampsplusopenbox.com/5y111.htm So. ...

In a nutshell. . . --Got permit to wire the detached garage $25. --Dug trench 62' from house to garage. Used a mini-excavator for free ($25 diesel) as my neighbor rented one and let me use it. --Laid 2" conduit from house to INSIDE the garage. Had previously put in conduit during the concrete...

HI all: About to wire the garage and plan on a 240V, 30A outlet in each corner. (see build here: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=287155&highlight=jives+gym). The primary reason is so that I can install portable electric heaters in areas as needed (yes, there are reasons for...

I'm getting prepped to start pulling 12/2 wiring and would like the experts' advice on the best route. In the pic below are three choices. Note that the pole barn has girts on the outside (flat girt) and commercial (bookcase) girts on the inside. The metal siding is already on. The cavities...
