Lights above overhead door

[57210]

What the best solution to light the area beneath the overhead doors when they’re open?

Windows in the doors

wire some low profile led lamps to the door panels

Has anyone mounted lights below the door tracks?

Not an issue for me...if the doors are open its normally daytime and I don't need that light, if I do I close the door and open the other for ventilation.
Depends on the size of your shop but I would most likely mount the lights to the outside of the door tracks if it is an issue having it obstructed

Here's how I did mine.

Mount and wire lights to the top door section.

Mount and wire lights to the top door section.

I agree...mount the fixture on the door it self with flex wiring/Whip

That's pretty much my thinking as well. When it starts getting dark I close the overhead door because if I don't the bugs will be joining me in force.
