Garage lighting project

Just finished adding some L.E.D. lighting for my garage.

Wow those look great 👍 👍

those are the nice ones!

I used the $15 LED shop lights from my local cheapie store, they don't look as nice but if you spread them out around the edges they light the garage very nicely with minimal shadows because light is coming from all directions

It is bright. But cast absolutely no shadows

Very nice! Can you give us some info on where you got them and how difficult it was to do what you did? I like hailing even light through out the garage. Looks like a great setup. Great job.

I got them from eBay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/187429487401?var=695312848984

I didn't know how many I would need, so I got them in 5 hex sets. and ended up using 3 sets of 5 . Then cut some clear hard plastic tubing 1.5" long and 2.5" screws with drywall anchors and used them as spacers to give them an 3d affect. I also wired them up by using a remote wireless remote light socket I got from Amazon, into three different sections so I can select each zone I want to light up. The task was one of the easiest I have done . install is very straight forward. Figure 200 bucks for Lights, from eBay , clear plastic rods 5mm i.d. x 6" long, , 2.5" #6 screws, drywall anchors, and in my case 3x remote wireless sockets .
hope this helps
