My shop (40x60x16) will have 10 Hyperlite high bay fixtures, 5 in each row. (Already purchased)

They will be wired on two switches, 6 towards the front & 4 towards the back of the shop.

These lights have a second cable for a dimmer circuit control, which I don't plan to utilize.
Can you simply cut these shorter? Or should I terminate them in the junction box with the power connections?

I don't plan to utilize the plugs with and outlet configuration, I will be putting in a cord grip for a cleaner look and hardwire them inside the ceiling box.
Taking the dimmer cable into the box would be by simply mounting a second cord grip and feeding it thru into the box.

I have very similar lights. I installed plugs on all of them and outlets in the ceiling, but assuming this is a shop, you could cut and terminate them with cords set to your length. I installed plugs because I assumed I'd be replacing them, but 4+ years in, they are all still live.


I do wish I had installed a dimmer. They are "daylight" bright. Annoying in the evening with a beer. But requires another wire, right?

Yes, it requires a separate set of wiring for the dimmer circuit and their special dimmer switches / controls.
I may look into the dimmers closer, but didn't plan on utilizing them.

Understood on the beer drinking light levels !!
