I currently have (4) 8' High-Output fluorescent fixtures on an 9' ceiling. Has anyone replaced just the lamps with LED's? Looking at the: RAB 96" 40W T8HO LED - Ballast Bypass - Opposing End Wired - R17d HO Base - 5000K - 5,500 Lumens - 120-277V from Pro-Lighting. I would rather not replace the...

Not really a garage question but I trust the knowledge of this forum. We have a seasonal house and want to shut off the water supply (well) with an app-based remote valve when not there. We keep the house temp above freezing all year long with an oil-fired hot water boiler with both radiant and...

Ok, got you to bite. Kitchen is not in the garage! Going to be completely renovating my kitchen soon. I'm an old schooler when it comes to undercabinet lighting (clunky ballasted fluorescents). What's everyone's opinions on LED U/C lighting? Tape? Pucks? Fixtures? Leaning towards the tape...

Looking to put some tiles maybe 3' around part of perimeter of garage by walls for storage. I want to raise items up a little bit in case of water puddles from cars etc. Any recommendations on a tile that is 1/2" to 3/4" thick? They can be open grating or textured, and not much weight will be on...

I installed a wall mounted 24" oscillating fan in my garage. It is the far corner, 32 feet from where I generally work. Looking for a remote control unit i could use to turn the fan on / off. Also would like a timer that would shut the fan down after a period of time to dry floor, dispurse...

I have (11) 2 x 4 (6)-lamp 32w t-8 fixtures in my shop I am converting to LED (removing ballasts). The POCO rebate is giving me back about 70% of the lamp cost. That plus the wattage savings make it a no-brainer. The fixtures have the polished reflectors installed, and mounting height is about...

I have a commercial building approx. 40 x70 with a max. of 14' to bottom of roof decking. I am looking to replace my existing fluorescent fixtures with the UFO style-LED high bay fixtures. (So bottom of fixture would be approx. 13' above floor). My question is does anyone think a 150W version...

I have new (1 year) smooth cement floor and (2) studded track snowmobiles. I will use dollies to move them around when inside, but looking for some ideas when I drive them in / out. I have a short 3' cement apron also. Rubber mats, etc. Any new or proven ideas / thoughts? thanks

Any opinons on Venstar WiFi stats?? Looking to possibly install a few Venstar T8750 wi-fi thermostats. Any thoughts? They are 1 of a small group that you can adjust the delay / temp diff of the 2nd stage heat. Most other wi-fi stats try to 'think" when you want it to come on. Might just be my...

Looking to install (4) Wi-Fi T-stats in a vacation home (including a garage). Almost all require a common wire from the "cooling" transformer, or leave the RC-RH jumper in place on a heating only app. I do have electrical experience, I'm just an old fart to new technology. In my situation, I...

Any thoughts on best options for cooling fans? Have 24 x 32 x 9, looking for either a wall mounted oscillating or pedestal fan. My thought is to get a larger (30"??) and run a low speed for less noise. Don't have any windows, just an O/H door and 2 man doors. Any brands better than others...

What do you guys use on garage floors to run a snowmobile out the door without damaging the floor? I already use the 3-wheel dollies for general moving around.

Getting ready to paint my 24 x 32 x 9 sheet-rocked garage. I haven't seen many threads about paint but does anyone have any links or ideas? Obviously for light reflectance should be a lighter color and I'm thinking an eggshell finish so dirt / dust can be wiped off. Lighting will be 5000K LED...

I have an 8' long bench for general work. Looking for ideas to hang hand tools, levels, clamps, small shelf, etc. Really don't care for standard pegboard as it does not hold up well in temperature / humidity swings and hooks falling out unless use those clippy things; Slatwall is a...

Looking to mount a shop vac on wall with a long hose for car interiors. Any suggestions? For occasional use, not commercial.

I'm installing a 45K btu Modine Hot Dawg heater in my 9' ceiling insulated, sheet-rocked garage. It will run on propane and vented horizontally with nothing around the exhaust termination (windows, eaves, etc). Does anyone recommend sources where to purchase type III / UL 1738 venting products...

I've heard some Led's interfere with electric overhead door openers. Can anyone elaborate? Is it certain types? Location? Line-of-site only? And now a real dumb question: Is it interference only when they are "on"?

I want to put a propane Hot Dawg (or similar) heater in my detached 24x32x9 garage, probably 45K. The walls and ceiling will be insulated/sheetrocked. My question is are there any issues if I only use the unit when I need it rather than maintaing a low temp? This is a vacation home that may not...

First post! I recently built a 24' x 32' detached garage with 9' ceilings. At this point I am considering installing recessed Halo H-7 cans for lighting with integrated LED trims. I definitely want LED lighting and part of my reasoning is that the current state of LEDs are changing rapidly and...
