I tried those exact lights and they're awful. Half of them stopped working a few weeks after installing them. If you go with tubes you need to get a higher quality fixture with a better ballast so they work all the time. Keep in mind you can get 8 or 9 recessed cans for the price of one of...

I installed simple recessed lights in my garage. I run the flourescent flood lights in them to save on energy costs and it's VERY bright. A nice even light without the hum of tubes. It also looks nice because nothing is hanging down from the ceiling. Recessed lights are cheap and easy to...

I agree. I get things warmed up with my fuel oil fired bullet heater. The infrared is great because within n hour or so they start to heat me, which works out well. I don't have gas at my place so my choices are oil or electric. Propane is to expensive around here. The combo works ok but I...

They're HOT. The thing is they won't warm up a cold building quickly. They need a lot of time to get things heated. I use them in connection with a fuel oil bullet heater. I turn on the bullet for about 15 minutes along with the infrared and it warms up the air enough to work. Within an...

I installed recessed light fixtures throughout my entire 40 x 60 pole barn. They're cheap, you can run the flourescent flood lights in them for a cost savings. I like them because they give off a lot of lot, don't make any noise and they don't hang down. They're easy to wire and install too.

We're just going to make a single run to all the heaters. Going to put the contractor panel near the breaker panel so when they are off there won't be any electricity running through the wire. Probably going to run 10/2 wire.

My friends Dad is coming over tomorrow night to go over what we need for wiring. I'll probably one large cable to the contractor box from the panel and then out to the heaters. Are you hanging yours from the ceiling or wall mounting them?

Mine just arrived today. Guess I can get to work installing them.

How long did it take for your stuff to arrive? I haven't heard a peep out of them so far and its been four or five days. Figured I would have received shipping information by now.

I bought the 57 inch units. Believe it or not the fumes aren't to bad from the bullet, especially if I run heating oil in it. Still, it's loud and I want a nice quiet garage. I have a bunch of friends who moved our to York. I get out there sometimes for car shows and other events.

I did get the discount. Great deal! I have a large space to heat so I'm hoping to have a nice combination of these along with my 200,000 BTU bullet heater. I figure I can go out and turn on the bullet, ceiling fans and radiants. At some point the radiants should help to cut down on the...

Very cool! I just ordered the 3 pack. If it works out I'll probably get another 3 pack and 2 more so I can have 8 all together. Thanks for the tip!!! I just got the drywall and insulation done in the ceiling last night so I'll probably mount these on an angle on the walls. I was hoping to...

I just installed recessed lighting in my pole barn. I did more lights than was probably necessary but its very nice. The light is clean and quiet. I used the florescent flood lights in all the fixtures. They only use 18 watts but light up like a 100 watt bulb. It takes them a couple of...

vinculum, where did you find the 3 pack? I'd like to grab it also, maybe two packs!!!

What's this discount now?

Might not be an option for you but you could always try a concrete stain. It will soak in and not look or act like paint since it's a stain. You can pick just about any color you can imagine. Might be nice to give it a slight color or even a dark color to change how the front of the property...

Yes, that's why I like them. I'm just wondering if they are any more or less efficient than gas. I'm really trying to find someone who is using them to find out more.

I'm looking for a more permanent solution to heating the garage. I don't have natural gas here so if I went with a gas heater I would need to do propane and have tank(s) installed outside. I'm just wondering if anyone has ever used an electric radiant? Do they heat as well as gas and what are...

I've been wondering the exact same thing. I have a pole barn with metal siding that I want to install outside lights. I haven't seen anything for this yet.

The only problem I have with those cheap flourescent lights is they tend to not light when you turn them on. I bought some of those $10 ones from home depot and within a few months only half of them worked reliably. I run the flourescent bulbs in my recessed lights and they work great, low...
