Best and Brightest LED Garage Shop Lights

[@pabloelclasicocastillo]

How much do the Sylvania Value Led UFO high bay lights costs?

[@hawkinscsa]

Love your flags! It's nice to hear someone that sounds like me. Hello neighbor. I have to replace some florescent lights soon, thanks for the info.

[@geezer2tech154]

Long tube lights are not obsolete. The advantage of longer or larger lights is that the light is more diffuse with softer shadows. In fact, one of the reviews at Amazon complains of harsh shadows with only 3 of these lights. Because you used 6 lights and your walls are white and highly reflective, you're getting a softer light due to overlap and additional reflected light. Note that the CRI of these lights is 70. Color rendition will be mediocre. LED manufacturers can choose between higher output of lower quality light versus lower output of higher quality light. As with most things, there is no free lunch. One person also notes in the reviews that the model has been cheapened compared to its predecessor. Not to rain on your parade as these lights may be perfect in some applications, like yours, I presume.

[@nobytes2]

leds are also much harder on the eyes, our maintenance crew changed from tube lights to leds during covid and I started getting migraines daily and eyes twitching I'm probably in the minority but something to be aware of.

[@LSXperts72]

They are very obsolete and inefficient lol

[@geezer2tech154]

@@LSXperts72 We are discussing high bay LED lights vs long tube LED lights. Efficiency is comparable.

[@goaheadmakeourdayscooterpe9644]

After putting led strip lights up I'd never even think off getting another fluorescent light with the flickering tubes when cold and the constant replacing them having to get rid of the bad tubes.

[@wildedog2204]

Thanks for helping me pick my lights!

Awesome! I have a 14x35 metal gurage. I like those and your setup. Would you recommend the 400k model lights?

[@skeon67]

Flags look cool, good video.

[@SimplyCE3]

How many lumens per square foot did you calculate for your shop? My building has 2000 sf to light and ceiling heights between between 14 and 17 ft. I'm figuring installing 200W hyperlights. From my estimation between 50-100 lumens per square foot on the lower and upper end. Appreciate any input. Thank you, CH

[@HockeyCraig]

appreciate you use a wireless mic instead of the camera mic. It's incredible that so many youtube content producers don't grasp that.

[@debbiekellett8037]

GREAT VIDEO !!!.......WATCHED WHILE I WAS CLEANING MY AR 15 LOL !

[@claytoncampbell740]

It's been 2 years since you have done this video. I'm in the process of deciding what lights to get so I'd like to know your 2 year opinion. Do you have them on a dimmer? Do you wish you had gone with a 5K or 3K? Are you happy with the brand? Etc........ Please give me some feedback

[@PatriotDIY]

Love them!!! No dimmer though

[@gregwertheim3970]

Hello, I see this video is two years old now but I’m curious to how you mounted the waterproof electrical boxes to the steel siding for the gooseneck lights. I want to add the same lights to my new building but there’s no structure behind where I need to mount the boxes. I assume you had to add some backing to the steel siding to support the box and the weight of the light. I’m thinking I’ll run a 2x6 between the verticals to provide enough surface to screw the box to with a hole drilled through the 2x6 to accommodate the 1/2” conduit connector fitted to the back of the box.

[@PatriotDIY]

My building does have a stud centered above my windows and door so that wasn't an issue in my shop, but what you are describing sounds like it would work just fine! Use brackets to mount a 2x6 between the metal studs to provide the support you need.

[@builttowin1987]

Question: what are you using to heat and cool the building?

[@PianistFishermanGuy]

Dude! This is my new favorite channel! Thanks for sharing the great info!

[@brettv576]

What spacing did you use between the high bay lights? And distance from the walls?

[@PatriotDIY]

The hyperlite website gives you recommendations for spacing and wattage depending on your room size

[@doubledsgarageandco.3518]

How did you mount the gooseneck lights ?

[@matthewgurule9509]

How big is your shop? I’m building a 20x30 so how many would you recommend?

[@TheDarcyhorn]

Would be interested in knowing just how much it increased your electric bill.

[@VegasRobzilla]

How big is the garage,mine is 20x30 ceiling height is about 14.5ft not sure if I need 4 or 6 lights.

[@konsheyn]

I bought my shop LED lights way back, I love it at first, my wife hated it - too bright for her. Any way then it start fading and falling. Too expensive to scrap it, I decided to fix it. I was changing leds a lot. Finally threw them away. Reliability is HUGE factor for shop lights and only time could show are they good or bad. Should I follow this guy advice? He looks exactly like me when I turn switch ON first time. I hope he didn't wasted his money. Or, btw, on the second set I bought it took about a year for plastic cover get yellowish like hell, so half of light loosed. Now it's without cover, doesn't look as pretty as it used to. Close to ugly I would say.

[@jevinhauke974]

Where the wall and the roof meet in the corner did you leave a small gap?

[@allforwheelsgarage]

How is the insulation doing in the shop? I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to go with. I'm leaning towards 2-in foam board. My building from Carolina carports should be here July 12th

[@PatriotDIY]

Holding up fine! Alot of people say foam is better if you can afford it. This is giving me about a 10 degree temp drop.

[@allforwheelsgarage]

@@PatriotDIY The quote I got for spray foam was 1" 3500,1.5" 4500 and 2" 6200 for my 24x36x12' building when it comes. I'm thinking I'm going to go with 2-in foam board with the foil backing instead of the spray foam

Another question for you sir. Did you run your wire in metal conduit? I was thinking about running romex wire in the gap in-between the poles and the metal. But my father in law seems to think the the heat from the outside will melt the romex wire. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Do you replace the bulbs, how long do these last or do you have to replace the whole thing? Thanks

[@PatriotDIY]

You don't replace the bulbs, you'd have to replace the whole light. But these LEDs are rated for like 100,000 hours or more. That's like 11 years of lights being on constantly

My 20x30 shop with a 12x20 lean-to was just completed a couple days ago. I'm in the process of sealing corners and roof line as you did with expanding foam. My only regret is that I had it built on my gravel pad and not concrete. Any suggestions on how to seal that bottom rail on gravel? I'm thinking the only way is to dig under the rail and pour concrete.

[@wheelinndealin]

Unfortunately I don’t think you’ll have any luck dealing to gravel because the water is going to travel throughout that material no matter what you do. I would plan to pour a slab in the future

[@williamhelgren4822]

Same problem here, but not going to be ashamed. The cement pour quoted as what the building cost, and absolutely not willing to do that. Probably just going to pour dirt up against the sides to fill the gaps.
