When the weather warms up, every bug within sight of that building will want to be in there if it's lit up plenty like that at night, and soon the spiders would follow them. Also if that conduit isn't tucked away, birds might be tempted to nest in there too. So you may need to plan some countermeasures for those things at some point.

Brock, Never take those lights down. My little machine shop is 25 x 25 with an 8 1/2 foot ceiling. I have Barrina lights which are 4 footers, single tube that put out 4000 lumens @ 6000K bright white. I put up 72 of them which only draws 288 watts total. I'm NOT ever taking any down. I can see everywhere & will never need a flashlight inside again. Great job on your lights. They are perfect.

There's an inexpensive tool made for cutting armor cladding. It's basically a little hand operated saw blade that has a gripper and the proper spacing for making the cuts cleanly. After you cut the cladding you're supposed to put a small plastic bushing into the cladding so it can't ever cut into the insulation.

You bend the mc cable where you want to cut the armor unravel it a little bit with both hands exposing a single ribbon cut that tight with a pair of diagonal cutters and slip off the rest then to cut the plastic easy just run it alongside the cut edge of the MC cable it'll rip that plastic right off and you have to have to have to use redheads if you're not using redheads that wire is going to vibrate against that metal edge over time and short

I cannot emphasize enough the importance of eye protection when using power tools. I have seen so many eye injuries resulting from a piece of metal getting into the eye - often causing permanent blindness. It's not worth it for vanity or laziness. About a year ago, a good friend of mine was using a circular saw when the blade shattered. He was sprayed with shrapnel on his face and chest. The eye protection he was wearing was peppered with tiny metal particles that would have been in his eye if he had not been wearing it. The worst injury was to his hand. He now has a permanent 7 inch Nike swoosh shaped scar on his hand and permanent nerve damage...

Might want to hold on to the savings from the "no electric bill" for later: A guide dog for blind people is around 45-50K plus bills for the vet & food... OK, all joking aside: these lights hurt about every rule of good lighting there is. For starters: use at least an anti-glare grid so that there will never form an image of the LED emitter on your retinas. Basically, if you can "see" the LEDs in operation, there is a design flaw - *one you need to compensate for if don't plan on getting some severe eye damage.* (Yes, human factors guy over here)

That being said I usually only solve problems after they are problems. I’ve had this set up this way for a while now and every time I go out there the batteries are charged and I’ve never ran it down in one use. If that changes or my usage changes, I’ll look at ways to charge better.

Just plain yellow Romex straight to the light. It works just fine. People have been doing it that way long before they came up with electrical code. There are still places that haven’t been ruined by overregulation My dad built a 3500 square-foot house completely by himself and never had an inspection. No one from the county or the state came and looked at it at all. He just went out there and started working.

You commented about electrical installations, which isn’t what happened here. A piece of wire that is not connected to a fixture and is not connected to a power source. It’s just an extension cord.

Great effort you put into it but first think is you used wrong connector It’s not used for mc wire it’s actually used for romex You should use bushing most call it red head To strip the wire you should just break the armor by bending it 180 degrees then you can cut it with any available tool Then use red head to prevent short circuit and use squeeze connector for mc wire You should also strip enough wire so it’s at least 6 in from the back of the box Ground wire is important before you connect to device you need to bond it with the box too I like to use larger boxes for more space and easier access cost is very similar The connector you used they are ok for the cord that comes from the light Also using solar I would use 12v batteries and solar panels and remove drivers from the lights This way it’s more efficient Using inverter there is list of energy If this was intended just for lighting than wiring would be much simpler and cheaper by keeping everything everything low voltage Of course distance of wiring is important dealing with dc power Hope this helps you in the future projects saves you money improves quality of your work Wish you good luck with everything you do

I never bought the special cable cutter tool. I always just bend the mc cable till it comes apart where it's bent. With practice, you can be pretty accurate in getting the length correct. After getting the length right a little, trimming the conduit to remove burrs and adding the anti short bushing, the right box connector and you're good to go. The box connector you showed were incorrect should've been for mc type cable. It may or may not work out for you though. I like those lights they certainly are bright enough.

TOO MUCH light is not always a good thing. It would be interesting to know what sort of Footcandle reading you get at the work surface. Unless you are doing high detail, low contrast work, too much brightness is unpleasent. Very High detail/low contrast would be doing Needlepoint with black thread on black cloth. Making dull pencil marks on wood, or sharpie marks on metals or discerning colors in a wire-harness, or reading small text on white paper or soldering micro-electronics, or wrenching suspension parts under a vehicle (that blocks the light overhead) are different. The photometric study done for you may have not adequately modeled the highly reflective metal finish, AND the shape of your roof/walls where you have a LOT of reflected light. You possibly could have used a lower wattage/lumen fixture, or used dimmable LED, and still had plenty.

But there some bad things about solar power. 1 is night time. 2 cloudy days. 3 is Hail beat on the solar cells > I got a Quonset Hut building about the same size or bigger I love them 👍👍

I've bought Hykolity lights before, the T5 shaped lights, and they started failing around the two year mark. 2 out of the 4 I installed started blinking randomly. I wouldn't recommend this brand.

Nice video. I've ordered 8 for less than $300 with 10% off code. How are they holding up? The Hyperlite company was more expensive and these look of equal quality so I pulled the trigger.

Nice job. I was a little concerned with you working on the middle of the night on tall ladders. I have fallen off of a ladder and broke my wrist. You where much higher. I'm glad nothing bad happened.

The lights could have been hung lower for better amount and placement of light, 6 lights is plenty. You finished the project at night with all the typical conditions in place that cause accidents...late in the day, worker is tired, poor lighting, alone, on top of a ladder. Not smart.

i like to bend the BX and pop the winding apart then snip off with side cutters... Then you just pull off the casing without having to unravel much of it... Important to prepare the end and make certain there is no really sharp edges use the short stops.

Okay I will be "that guy" If you have a safety lanyard you may want to connect it to something other than the bracket you are mounting the units to. Now I feel like a jerk

They make a cutter for that flexible conduit. It costs about $40. It makes the process a bit easier.

those lights are going to attract all the bugs in a one mile radius....you may want to think about finding some kind of mosquito netting that you can cover the openings of the hut....

yeah it's called an MC cutter but if you don't have one you can always use your wire Dykes and cut one little section of that sleeve and Slide the whole bed off you don't have to unwind it around the wire you just go to the spot where you want it to cut at and you take your wire Dykes and yeah snip it right there and you unscrew it half a turn and it'll slide right off then you got these little things little red caps that you put on the end and tea abrasion cap it wraps around the wires slides in behind the metal conduit flex metal conduit the MC cutter makes it really easy cuz it just slices one nice little piece leaves no birds you twisted half a turn and you slide off the end then you put one of those little red caps on there to keep it abrasion from happening from the metal to the wire you have to do that you probably didn't do that on any one of your connections

I don't think so. They engineered it for basic work lighting, more than likely to OSHA standards,for a factory floor. I wouldn't want any less. But, you know opinions..... 😂😂

How come you have closed of the Quonset hut or at least one side and put in a concrete floor to make it an more comfortable space to work in especially in the winter.
