Installing Barrina LED Shop Lights!

[@mikeneron]

I can definitely relate to the paralysis by analysis phenomenon. I'm pretty sure I spend more time thinking about things and researching then I actually do in building and doing them. I already had those lights on my Amazon wishlist for when I get my new garage, so glad to see another example of how great they are.

[@ScoundrelOffRoad]

That paint really made a difference!! Looks great!

[@tinzel5711]

This is the first video I watched, and you hit it right on with me. I just bought a house, and I've watched 1,000 videos on shop tools and organization.

[@Reaper4367]

"paralysis through analysis" indeedy. That is why my old Discovery is STILL sitting there awaiting the desired attention. Top effort Patrick. Looks great.

[@clintwood2960]

Thanks for the video. I'm not any good with reading direction so this really helped me out.

[@peterkempf5422]

The cat at the end was a great touch.

[@vincentdeleonjr1039]

thanks for sharing

[@ScoundrelOffRoad]

I've been using the 4 foot, 5000 lm lights around the house for a year and they've been great. I finally ordered these last week for the garage. I may order a second set and have 20 lights in there!! lol.

[@PatrickRemington]

Mine are still going strong!

[@therajuncajun6487]

Painting in white will help reflect thw new lights you put in and help you to see.

[@GregAlanEdwardsEmmanuelRidge]

Changed the whole room with just lighting! No more dark shelves, dark corners, dark anything! Love it!

[@jonathaneglinton5378]

Whoa! You hit on something heavy with that "paralysis through analysis" thing with me.

[@ooglek]

Same!

[@ATTLEY57]

I didn't know there was a name for my paralysis. Thanks

[@jeramoo1147]

Incredible when someone puts a name to the "thing" you suffer from and cannot name yourself. Great video!

[@noddingat]

Man! Looks so much better.

[@GrizzlyPath]

I just got done painting my drywalled/unfinished garage and cleaning/epoxying the floor, so I KNOW that painting time lapse doesn’t do the effort justice. Great job man, looking forward to the build out.

[@PatrickRemington]

Thanks man!

[@jimmybelue9658]

Wow. You have been reading my mail with that introduction.

[@baggerbiker1]

Thanks for the review. Just ordered

[@charlesnshimiyimana7523]

Very good I like it

[@kevingeorge6226]

Nice job Patrick. I was interested in the strip LED's, but wanted to get an idea of how powerful they were for a garage size workshop.

[@robertclark2714]

I bought ten 5000 lumen LED 4 foot lights from Harbor Freight. 50,000 lumens is enough for my garage without a doubt. Thanks for this video.

[@PatrickRemington]

I actually just installed 3 of 6- 4ft 5000 Lm lights in my two car garage and it is so freaking bright. Can’t imagine installing all 6.

[@billplotsky8208]

awesome first statement. That is 100% me haha!!

[@stephenhegarty]

Continuous improvement instead of delayed perfection. I seem to change the layout of my shop at least once every couple of years.

[@dylanbenedict3599]

not sure if anyone gives a shit but if you're bored like me during the covid times you can watch all the new movies and series on Instaflixxer. I've been streaming with my gf for the last few weeks =)

[@andersmilan6937]

@Dylan Benedict yup, I have been using instaflixxer for years myself :D

[@imdeplorable2241]

And, the color white reflects light so, I've found that shadows are less pronounced. Your shop will be awesome. 👍

[@Shoobylives]

I surface mounted 2 sets of Barrina LEDs. They failed after no more than 4,000 hours. I believe the problem was that the surface mounted tubes could not dissipate the heat generated by the tubes. I then bought a series of Hylokjity tubes and hung them with 5 inches of clearance from the ceiling and they passed the 4,000 hour mark with no problems. I hope your experience is better than mine was.

[@PatrickRemington]

They are still going strong for me!

[@MIKEH.777]

I have officially seen the light lmao, those LEDs are very flipping bright omg 😂🤣💯👍👍✌

[@charlesnshimiyimana7523]

Good

[@cubul32]

As a photographer and dyier and do it all and whatnot, one simple rule for light: flood everything!!! blind the neighbors!

[@dwest713]

New shop looks awesome! I head to the lumber yard tomorrow to pick up some materials for my RTT build. Are you not concerned about the ceiling sagging down when you load up that rack above the garage door? I know mine did when I had it loaded up with some storage totes in the attic and the rack I installed above the door.

[@PatrickRemington]

David West nah not really. I don't plan on loading it fully up. It's been great so far!

[@vgullotta]

@@PatrickRemington The shop looks great so far, but I think you should relocate those cross boards on the over the garage door lumber rack, to the top of the board they are currently screwed into instead of the bottom of it. Right now, all that lumber weight would be held up by the threads of those screws, I don't think that will last.

[@twowheelsforlife]

Nice and bright! How big is your shop?

[@psychodocter]

Gr8 job

[@tms299]

I’m the same. Paralysis by Analysis. I think about so many things and research on shit that I never get to or end up doing. But I did purchase these lights and your video is now 2 years old so I’m curious how well they’ve held up?

[@lucksucks13]

LOL same ive done it for years

[@ZeMarkKrazee]

It looks like you’ve made quite a bit of progress! In the future, you should look into light diffusion panels either preinstalled or installed by you afterwards. I find it an interesting choices from the manufacturer to put plastic shielding along the led channels, but they did not make them diffuse the light. Without diffusion, the high focal intensity of the lights can cause eye strain. Diffusion helps reduce focal intensity and eye strain and provides greater clarity in your shop by reducing the shadows. The only other concern I had was regarding LEDs in the shop: higher temperatures can be found in shops and will reduce lifespan. It looks like you have a window AC unit and fans which should help mitigate this risk, however.

[@A.R.C.E]

Where can I get diffusers for my lights?

[@ZeMarkKrazee]

@@A.R.C.E That depends on what type of light bulb/source you have and your light fixtures. Generally, you can find some on Amazon or eBay. I believe you can use polystyrene diffusion sheets. You could also potentially use parchment paper, but it usually doesn’t look as nice. I’ve seen some people use plexiglass and other things as well. I would do a search for diffusion sheets or panels to try to find something that meets your individual specifications

[@dcimages4373]

Do you find that the lights are harsh,? Being that the lights do not have a frosted cover. Thanks DC.

[@billbethea6815]

on the 8 foot ones what is the total length. I have a 24 x 40 metal garage and you know the inside demensions are a few inches shorter than 40 feet. I wanted to order a ten pack and a six pack to go under the loft

[@Vladpryde]

Well....I know what lights I'm getting for my house! And by the way....replace those old ceiling fans with some new metal-blade high-velocity fans. They are usually about 60" diameter or smaller, with 3 blades. A worthy investment.

[@ScottysDetailing]

How are your lights working now? Would you still recommend buying them for a small garage?

[@cubul32]

Light = life; buy a truckload of lumens, high CRI if you can, 90+ (95 is rare but I know a few sources).

[@kilmoregalway]

@@cubul32 cool, can you suggest please

[@VincentsRockGarage]

2 years later - how are they holding up for you?

[@BOOSTEDLUCKEY]

i came here for the osha violations 🤣

[@rlslavens2]

Did you link all of your lights together in one link? I just got 10 of the 4 foot Barrina lights and I am debating on connecting them all in one chain but not sure if the performance will alter with all of them in one line.

[@PatrickRemington]

In my shop there are three light switches so I did 3, 8footers linked together on each switch

[@michaelmatthews1307]

Can these be run directly by 12v? Say, from a battery or solar panel thru a 12v regulator.

[@jamieforrester7108]

you should try to get setup with amazon so you can link anything you buy from them and use in videos then add it to the video descriptions. get a bit of a kick back on anything we buy through your links.

[@chrismorfitt7642]

I’m in the middle of doing the same to my double car garage I’ve been looking at this type of lights and also the batten style off eBay do you have any info on them both please and I always do the same thing when buying stuff been looking at lights for 2 months now 😂

[@therajuncajun6487]

Let therm call! Tell them go to bed!

[@xx77xx7xx7]

Do these come with a dimmer?

[@Fallen_Angel17]

No honey,this is on led lights function as ordinary lights but more safe energy but more brighter,even last longer. If in a good hand

[@fordnut4914]

I was expecting something bigger. That's what she said.

[@kick0ne]

Hi! Are these replaceable or do you have to buy new fixtures if LED fail?

[@whitechevy33]

They are 22 bucks a piece from China. You replace the whole fixture.

[@tonyboneize]

I think you need more 110 plugs 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@PatrickRemington]

Right!?!? Yeah the guy that built it just about put one on every stud

[@Jkaravokiros]

2 years after posting this video... do you still recommend these lights? Have you had any issues with them? I've been reading that the wires get really hot and sometimes melt.

[@drivingparadox]

Catching up on videos, so understand the procrastination of researching to death and not actually getting stuff done. Guilty. :) How do you video and use two hands i.e. putting the lights up? GoPro on a head strap?

[@PatrickRemington]

I hold the GoPro mount in my mouth. 😂

[@gunner8822]

Lol I’m the same way bro

[@bradhineman4796]

Analysis Paralysis, right where I've found myself when I found this video... After 3yrs, what are your thoughts? Any issues?

[@PatrickRemington]

No issues so far! All lights still working fine!

[@peterbartreiner]

What are the dimensions of your shop, and do you think that the 10 8' Barrina LEDs are enough or even, dare I say, too much?

[@thefailingstudent]

they are bright, you should be good to go, depending on shop size. bought a 6 pack of 6ft length barrina lights, ended up using 5 for my garage(my work space once the cars are moved). In my eyes you can never have too much light in a workspace.

[@andyboy148]

I deal with exactly what you said in the beginning of the video. It's not good lol

[@KruiserKrawler]

TOTALLY HAVE ABP...🤔🙄🤦‍♂️

[@PatrickRemington]

What?

[@cubul32]

Meow

[@Fallen_Angel17]

Your wife love to watch film right so thats anything glowing she will assume it UFOs hhhhhhhhh then the busy body neighbor will call the cops!!!!

[@charlesnshimiyimana7523]
