I was shooting for around 50 lumens @ 30" from the floor. According to the calculator, we've been living with less than 25 lumens so 50 should be a treat!

I'm not a lighting expert but I am finishing up my 25 x 42 garage after living with a 21 x 21 garage for many years with just 2 fixtures (like your used to). I think for you - just going to (4) 4' LED shop lights (4400 lumens each) will be a big improvement. 15 would be overkill (IMHO)? I'm...

There's 2 schools of thought. 1) determine how many amps you "really" need. IE. determine what your greatest electrical demand would be at any point in time and size for that. My guess is if it's just you and one other person using the garage, 75 amps might be enough so 4 AWG- - (lights...

just because you use the word "box" relative to the grounds I'll add my .02c. All your grounds should go a ground bar in the (sub) panel... no wire nuts in that box. In your wall/ceiling device boxes, approved wire nuts are still fine unless you have an inspector imposed restriction...

Thanks Platonic... but???? I'm getting ready to order light fixtures and re-read the first post but I could use a little help understanding the last update on 8/24? The update lists the best option for 30+ and, under 30- fixtures .....BUT the way I read it, the under 30 fixture @ $36.50/...

Shoon- my .02c Just this past saturday, I had my 25x42 slab poured. Your prep makes mine look very inadequate. Don't feel bad about following advise because with cracking (or no cracking)- there will always be advice and credit taken for either outcome. I was amazed when I researched just...

kaizen- are you doing permits or no? If your not- the only concern would be heaving and or settling. I looked at doing it the way your contemplating, and it was possible, just not much cheaper than doing it correctly given the permitting and inspections. Personally- even if permitting weren't...

I'm in Mass.- My municipality didn't require soil analysis if I went down below the frost line (4 feet) but they would only allow me to build on a footer less than that IF I had an engineers stamp on the site and footer plan. I ended up going 54" down because it was easier (red tape wise) and...

I don't know what the product was. I'm sure it was top notch commercial stuff as this crew nothing but the best of everything. I'm really really pleased with what and how they did the job. It's just the sealer that finish that I'm not happy with. Even so- I wouldn't change anything as I'm...

Finally poured my 42x25 slab this saturday. Very experienced commercial crew that does the big box stores. They did a fantastic job and the slab looked amazing after the final burnish. They brought in a softcut saw and cut the lines immediately after the final burnish- again amazing job- no...

Avon MA- has plenty of them but no rebate. Price is 29.99.

I'm interested too. I thought the rebate ended in July?

Thanks to both of you- especially CD for addressing my points 1 for 1. so on the beam angle- spacing and orientation do matter within a space since the longitudinal axis will "broadcast" the light a known distance that is height dependant. How do you know the best spacing along the ends if...

I've read most of the posts on these LED shop lights but I still don't understand some things (a lot of things actually). I understand these lights project more directionally- (not all around like typical fluorescent tubes). Some list a projection angle of something like 120 deg.... which I...

been a while- yes- I did... a couple of them actually. Epoxy is an option and will likely be how I go only because I'm pouring soon and haven't decided on lift or exact placement yet.

Answers: (IMHO) 1- yes- it could make sense. 2- it might be but without direct knowledge of the motor- it's tough to say. Generally- the older the motor, the more "serviceable" it was designed to be. Parts availability is another issue. Another thought is that a wire/tap has become loose...

$25? I think ours has the 2 pak for $60...

I hope my file posts... 1st time attempting. My new garage has some unusual features and I'm not sure how to best light it. I am going with the recommended lights from the "best LED" thread (or perhaps the Costco ones iif they ever go on sale gain for under $20 ea) and I've run the lighting...

I'm in the process of building my new garage which will have an upper level (wood deck) where I'll keep and use some heavy machines. I've become a fan of laminate floor. I've used it in my rentals and it was so durable, I used in my house as well. It's held up better than real hardwood. I...

I just did my new garage roof (25x42 3/12 pitch). Best "value" in my area was 3/4 T&G OSB (about $14/sheet in full pallets) and Grace select (about .30c/sq. ft). I'm doing grace on the entire roof and what I like is that once the Grace is down, the garage is essentially leak free... even while...
