I would either go flat panel, or the UFO’s. The look I’m going for when it’s all done would suit the UFO’s better. Like a factory or warehouse type look.

Nice. Thank you for that. Pretty much what I had in mind. I think I will order one 100w light and see what I think. Its free shipping in Canada, so if I end up not using them, I'll put it under my eaves or something.

Thanks. So after having them Thanks. So after having them all this time, how have they been? I had looked at doing a 2x4 panel in my old garage with 9’ ceilings. I thought I should look for something brighter for 12.5’ ceilings. But I do like how smooth they are. Smooth as in not hot spots and...

Ok. Thanks. I will look into those brands. I recognize the RAB name as I have a few of those lights for my yard site. The electrical contractor my son works for sells those. 👍

So….if they are like a interwebs dumpster fire type light, what brand should I be looking at? I say that with genuine intentions. There is just so much to sift through. I have bought from superbrightleds before as well, but suspect that’s in the same boat as these? Not looking to spend 300 per...

So say I decide to go with something else. I like the look of a 2x4 flat panel light, I think. They go all the way down to 30w up to 72w. What would the layout pattern look like then? They are pretty big. As in they take up ceiling real estate. It wouldn't really matter, but it really wasn't the...

True. I will look into that. Thanks

I started reading up on the difference. Had no idea. They offer their own dimmer on the site. I could just order one with the lights I guess. I was hoping to use the Lutron Casetta series switches. I've used them in the past and really like the mobility of them. Looking online, it is kind of...

The picture I posted with the diffuser was taken from Amazon. They sell the diffuser separately so that does add to the cost. Currently it shows the diffusers are out of stock, but they can be bought later and added on real easy it looks like. This screen shot is from their website. I...

So here is a 300w light I “borrowed” from work a couple weeks ago just to see what I was wanting and looking for. I will admit I was a little disappointed compared to what I thought it would look like. I know it’s only 1, and the shadowing was real bad, so that’s what kind of led me to think...

I was under the impression anything about 12' and higher would be suitable? I'm at 12.5' so right at the threshold, hence why I thought about the 100w ones.

I see hyperlite has an available 60 degree frosted diffuser available for those hero lights. Could that be an option to help glare?

Thinking about the glare part of this.....i did some quick reading on it. Definitely something to think about. Will it be a huge concern if my ceilings are that high? At work we have some new LED linear lights mounted on the walls. They have no diffuser or and shading or anything. You can see...

Thanks all. I had originally planned for 3 rows of 3 of the 100w lamps. There are 2 8x9 overhead doors, and the cabinetry and work bench will be in an L shape along the west and north wall. So for reference that would be the left wall and top wall in the layout diagrams above. The 2 garage...

Good morning all. I am going to be wiring my unfinished garage as soon as I pass inspection on the panel. I also want to order my lights so they get here when i need them. I am going with the Hyperlite Hero series lights so I decided to get a lighting plan done by them to see what they say. They...

Growing up we had a dark blue 88 Supra Turbo Targa. Man I miss that car. Always wanted another one. Beautiful collection.

The panel is going to go to the right, in that corner. I am going to turn my stairs around to come down towards the hockey lockers, and those lockers will go to the far left where the stairs currently are. That little 5’ framed section you see there sticks out past the front of the house, so it...

It does get hot enough in the summer. It’s more the humidity. Not a lot, but will be a nice treat for me!! But I will have a 5kw heater as a second source as the split heat pump combo units don’t work down the the temps we get here in the winter. So the other heater will fill in when needed...

Rotated tires and while I was there, installed my 3/4” rear spacers to gain back a little rake to the truck after a 1.5” front level kit.

My plans so far: Wire up 2 gang boxes roughly every 6’ about 50” off the floor. Either run 12-3 and pinned breakers or just run 2 separate runs of 12-2. Not sure yet. Weighing the pros and cons of that. Plugs in the ceiling for lights. My thoughts are that if one fails I can easily change it...
