New Garage Lights

It's a bit OT for the forum, but both of my BMW's are in the video including me swapping the center caps on my M8 so I figure it loosely qualifies. I thought my garage was well lit until I installed these lights. The lighting is now so bright and even. I'd recommend them for anyone wanting some great light in their garage. Now I just need to work on getting a power washer in there....

Thanks. 🙂 I had fun and got a little creative with the video. Let me know if you end up getting them.

We’ve only lived in this house for a year and I’ve always thought the lighting the garage was horrible. I’m working on some other projects first, but I’ve put these on the honey do list. Also I’m thinking about putting these in one of my businesses because the lighting is very old and outdated. Great find!

I don't get anything from the sale of these lights but it's interesting if you check out their website they have lights for all sorts of different applications including kitchens and industrial things and garages, etc. These are actually the same lights that Obsessed Garage sells on his website but it's cheaper if you go right to the source.

Looks great snareman! You can’t over prioritize lighting, especially in the garage. Hubby installed the below in our garage and you could now do surgery in there if you so desired. We purchased the 4000k, great light temp.

Sure thing, here you go.

When he details one of the vehicles he parks it in the middle, leaves the garage door open and since the lights run down both sides and across in the front there’s no shadows at all. Works out great!

i went with can lights, 8 per bay with 100w equivalent bright white LED bulbs. There's also 2 bulbs in each garage door opener and a 2 bulb ceiling fixture in each bay.
