Go big or go home. I put 11 in my 3 car garage.

I think this is probably a better approach. I should have taken it from the beginning. I might use that is a retrofit as they require repair.

I am thinking about picking up some velcro or something to help secure them. I'll report back.

My bigger issue is the light coming off the screw head, not the screw falling out of the ceiling. Although, to be honest, I was simply using the provided screws in drywall. As they fall, I replace them with drywall anchors.

I am having trouble keeping these in the ceiling. The small screws + narrow sockets aren't terribly great. Does anybody have any better solutions?

I haven't noticed any problems with my opener.

Follow up on my goal of a "clean" install. I went to Costco yesterday and they have 2 pallets right in front. I couldn't resist, so I grabbed 6 for over my double stall. My wife told me to do the whole garage if I was doing it, so I grabbed 3 more for a total of 9. After I got home, I did...

Thank you for sharing the pictures. However, I am hoping for a "cleaner" install. I don't particularly want the cords visible on the ceiling.

How are people wiring these up for flushmount to the ceiling? Installing a recepticol seems messy. I have access to the attic above my garage. I have a 3 car garage (approximately 25'x25'). I am think 3 per bay, although most of the work is on the 2 car side. Could these be (easily)...

I had some plastic knockout thingies, but I bought the wrong size. To answer your question, none.

Follow up time. Thank you everybody for your suggestions. Perhaps it was stubbornness, perhaps it was because my wife was watching, but I was actually able to fish the wire without any new dry wall holes. I picked up some glow in the dark fish sticks, and was able to fish up and hit the...

Unfortunately, our garage walls have some sort of texture. Therefore, I am doubtful that I am going to be able to successfully repair it, without it being obvious. Therefore, I am thinking an access panel is the way to go.

It looks like there isn't much room above the panel that would be hidden by the cover. Therefore, it looks like we are making a hole. Thoughts on cutting an opening and using a blank face plate?

Larry, Yikes! I guess I have no idea what is behind there.

The wall is likely stuffed with insulation. Also, the roof is sloping down at this wall, so I can't really get my head close enough to look down the hole. Believe me, I have tried.

Sadly I have never done dry wall repair. And, I hope not to start on this project (unless necessary). I am going to see if I can cut a hole that will be hidden by the panel cover.

Alright, thank you everybody for the excellent advice. I think I have synthesized it all together to a solid plan. 1. Get Glow Fish Rod - Of course, I have very limited working space in the attic, since I am at the edge of the house. I hope I can feed this through an existing (or try to...

I am looking to add a new circuit to my existing panel. I have run the cable to the attic above the panel. In the attic, there are a series of ~3/4" holes, that are already pretty well occupied. In the panel, there are a few punchouts, that are again, pretty well occupied. The panel is in an...

Okay, it sounds like 12 gauge should be sufficient. To be honest, it is easy to pull more anyways. The other idea I am kicking around, is adding a subpanel. This new circuit will fill my current panel. However, that sounds like more effort than I would like to tackle at the moment.

The saw does come as a UL rated device with this plug installed. However, there are directions for replacing the plug.
