Missed it by “that much”

Just laughing today as I only have one light that gets covered by the overhead door when open.
When fully open the lig hit is only half in the door window

Piss poor planning on your part.

OCD is cruel.

Obvious solution is to move the window. Or maybe the whole door.

It's only cruel when you don't enjoy it...

Cut a bigger window in the door....

A winch cable will center that.

My door covers most of the lights and there are no windows in my garage door. It was something that never occurred to me when planning the light layout. Just a couple more lights would have made a big difference, and I keep telling myself it would be easy to add them.

Not my garage. I just googled garage door lights and stole a picture.

If he only had a lift so he could get up there and rework the ceiling lights…

This is a problem I never planned for. Now I only open the door so far as not to cover the light so a) I can see, b) the light doesnt cook and warp the door (gets hot), and c) to try and keep birds out. Works well but Im waiting for the day I hop in my vehicle and forget the door is low.

There’s currently only 3 manlift inside that building. 4th is next door, and man basket for the 3 forklifts is still being borrowed by the dude with a crane truck through his roof

Is it just that one door or all three of them like that ?

I really like the lit door - if I had an overhead I'd think about that one seriously - maybe LED strip lighting on an automatic switch - the door opens, a spring loaded (like a tractor brake light) switch closes and the lights come on. Door closes, and the door lights shut off.

From my experience you only make that mistake once twice three times aw hell, never mind...
