The Best Garage Lighting! ⚡️ LED Hexagonal Grid Honeycomb Lights | Tesla Garage Setup Install

If you want to transform the way your garage looks, you might want to check out these LED honeycomb style ceiling lights. I could not be happier with how they turned out and to see the improvement of lighting in my garage. These plug and play light tubes output a whopping 60,000 lumens with a color temperature of 6,500 kelvins that translates into a natural looking, white light that works great for a garage, a shop, or even your basement. These lights are also waterproof and suitable to work in a wet environment.

Not only do these Hexagon grid lights provide more light output but also help save on energy cost, as these are 100% LEDs. They are also great if you live in a cold climate or have an unheated garage. LED’s do not need time to heat up, therefore in comparison to incandescent tube lights which are dim under cold conditions, these LEDs become bright immediately, producing consistent, energy- efficient light in very cold temperatures.
When first opening the box you’ll notice some zip ties if you were to install this on a wooden or wired ceiling structure. In this case I will be drilling these directly to the ceiling and will not need them. The kit comes with all the lights needed to form the entire honeycomb light fixture as they all connect to one another to form a hexagon. These connector points will be drilled into the ceiling through this small hole on the side. Each connector has these drill holes equipped. Finally you will notice 3 power cords that will connect on both ends of the honeycomb lighting and also one for the rectangular light piece. You can see from this diagram where the power cords need to be connected. Note you must follow this power source location, plugging in two power cords on the same side of the hex lightening may cause a short and burn out the entire set. Two power sources must be connected on the opposite sides of the light kit and also one on the rectangular section around the hex lights. So in total 3, 120v plugs for each light kit. Installing 1 kit will work on a 15amp breaker, however installing two kits will require a 20 amp breaker. I’m not a certified electrician and if you do not feel comfortable installing these yourself, a professional is always recommended, especially when handling electricity.
As we need 3 individual power sources for this light kit as I mentioned earlier.
Once we reach one end simply add your 90 degree connector to install two lights down the short end of the rectangle. At this point I’m only installing one light at a time to prevent any damage to the hanging lights. Keep repeating the process until you have formed the first shape of your light kit. One problem I ran into, is when I reached the end I was short a few inches from reaching the connector we had first installed. I had to unscrew the connector and move it more to the left to finally make the entire connection. This; however, caused my rectangle to be out of shape and crooked. I had to go back and remove the screws on one end of the light set to straighten out the top section of the rectangle. After I fixed this issue, you can see I’ll have to patch some holes with drywall puddy and repair part of the ceiling. Again, if you are not certain about electricity, please do not do this yourself.. Hire a professional electrician. After getting all my connections and power cord in place, I flipped on my original switch and wallah! Just this rectangular light fixture alone already boosted the look of my garage not to mention how much brighter it is. After confirming this has worked, I went ahead and disconnected my wires and drilled a hole into my ceiling to insert the power cord into the attic for later connection. I’ll get those screw holes patched up later and repaint that section.
What do you think, let me know in the comments below. I have links below this video showing you everything I used to install these myself. As always if you have any questions, be sure to let me know in the comments and I’d be happy to get back to you. Until the next video, stay safe and I’ll catch you on the next one.

Looks absolutely spectacular Evan - definitely worth every minute you‘ve spend on it. Thank you so much 👍🏼

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

I really enjoyed this install Evan! It was wise to recommend to people to hire an electrician if they are not comfortable with any aspects of this installation. I was really happy to see your expansion tank connected to the cold water line at your water heater. I installed one myself which really kept the water pressure from going up too high from the expansion that occurs when the water heater has been running for a while. Thank you so much for another unique video that is not just like all of the rest of the Tesla KZbinrs.

[@irvdownes3320]

I love this video. I’m actually doing this to my garage also!

[@charryverhage833]

I LOVE THAT IT LOOKS GREAT NOW IWANT IT TOO

[@mikekhaz]

Great job thanks for sharing

[@michaelpandolfi9765]

Thanks dude I never seen anything like that that would be nice for my pain an airbrushing in my garage looks awesome

[@georgeoh5361]

Looks awesome

[@ericadams2755]

I'm trying to find some information on these same lights but in a bigger scale a 90 by 80 grid to be exact and I need to find out some ideas but your video did help a lot thank you!!

[@dseibel388]

I watched many Hex light DIY videos yours was the best one Thank you for showing all steps for installation.

[@EMtesla1]

Glad it helped!

[@MsRedrose31]

​@@EMtesla1Did you use a dimmer switch trying to find one that is compatible

[@EMtesla1]

@@MsRedrose31 I did not. The lights you see in my video are not dimmable.

[@efishe22292]

Appreciate you showing the flaws in the install. We all have these moments and you probably saved a bunch of people a whole lot of time. Looks great as well

[@EMtesla1]

Glad I could help

[@elenasoare4055]

Geazie, molto esplicito!!! ❤

[@bradmacklin7265]

Hey if it wouldn’t be too much trouble, do you have the measurement of the honeycomb from end to end? I bought this version but I’m going to use the rectangle elsewhere in my garage and keep the honeycomb

[@getrusty]

Great step by step on the install process. The power connectors at multiple points is very unclear in the provided instructions in my kit

[@barkyvonschnauzer2188]

Nice! 😊

[@jochemreweghs5999]

Can u leave pieces out my ceiling is smaller than the lights can i adjust them and leave a couple out?

[@Guanacoboi]

Do you or anyone you know have a video of how you wired it? I know how to wire and replace my existing light but someone said you can’t splice the 2 power sources. Thanks!

[@ishepard2]

How easy would these be to disassemble later on? We are in a rental house now and can mount them using velcro command strips, but I am curious about removing the light strips from the terminals. Thank you in advance for any help you can offer!

[@EMtesla1]

From the ceiling they are easy to remove, but to unclip each light can be difficult. They seem to really hold onto one another very well.

[@ishepard2]

@@EMtesla1 That's what I needed to know. Thanks for your help!

[@cleanskinlasertattooremoval]

Hey mate, do you know if you can install these if some/one of the hexagons isn’t a complete hexagon? So only having 5 of the 6 sides connected and having an “open hexagon” if that makes sense?

[@EMtesla1]

Yea you can have a few pieces not connected and the rest will still work.

[@ahmedagbabiaka]

Beautiful. I’m re-doing my garage with epoxy floors and these type of lights. Do you need anchors to screw into drywall?

[@EMtesla1]

No I just screwed them into the dry wall with regular 3/4 inch screws… you can see my full install video found under my channel. Cheers!

[@TheBrewQ]

Yes, for the love of God, anchor them or they will fall out over time.

[@andrewmelendez7826]

Hi, would you consider going into more detail with a video on how you set up the wiring?

[@EMtesla1]

If you do not feel comfortable, please hire and electrician.

[@jonnyjacobs8862]

Sweet

[@DimiArhontidis]

Nice! I think they would look better without the box around them. Is that possible?

[@EMtesla1]

yes, you do not need to have the box, its very customizable

[@joannamcqueen70]

How do you replace the bulbs? Do you have to unscrew the structure and have another kit on hand?

[@EMtesla1]

They are LED and should not need to replace for a very very long time. If so the lights unclip from each other.

[@althompson8999]

Great detailed video! I know for sure I'm not using honeycomb lights now. Looks like a major pain in the ass!🤣

[@EMtesla1]

You can do it!

[@fresnoslaps-oy9wn]

Looks hella good but You need to put those contacts in a box if thay come undone thats a fire wating to happen

[@mike5555ca]

I was planning on running the Lutron Maestro LED+ Motion Sensor Dimmer Switch ?¡ No Neutral required. What are your thoughts on that?

[@EMtesla1]

These type of lights do not dim. I would not install a dimmer switch on them.

[@mike5555ca]

@EMtesla1 The one I bought was the dimmer hex LED

[@victorlindquist5154]

Hope you used some anchors with the screw. screwing the screws into sheetrock won't hold long, and lights will be on the floor one morning

[@TheBrewQ]

I thought the same. One thing I thought about is the way he did it is great for at least marking all the places the screws should go. Soooo I would do that and then take the lights down and put in the anchors.

[@cosmicblooms]

I would use a square to make sure everything is square and straight

[@EagleKeeper86]

I see that you made your electrical splice in the attic. You should absolutely make that wire splice in a sealed junction box. It’s small oversights such as this that burn down houses

[@EMtesla1]

Correct, this was just to show you how the wires are connected. I have them all in boxes. Thank you

[@moton410]

Im having really big problems with my setup. We hooked up the lighting and after i turned the switch on, the lights flickered and then blew and then it kept blowing the curcuit breaker. Everything s connected correctly, just dont know what is wrong with them. Any help, please let me know. Thanks

[@EMtesla1]

I would look into hiring a professional electrician on this

[@moton410]

Yes, I am. But I still wouldnt mind any information on why this could be happening for my knowledge. We are not complete idiots with electricity, but it is something I would like to educate myself on. Thank you for your feedback though.

[@EMtesla1]

Make sure all the colors are correctly lined up… any miss connections will cause the set to burn out.

[@djshag]

@@moton410 figure out what the issue was? Perhaps your breaker was 10 or 15amps?

[@lookmancardeatailing5150]

The problem is with the conector I have the same problem when I checked one by one I see when 3 conector didn't conect is working when is conect problems

[@rickybarrera2089]

Do you need a driver or a converter for these?

[@EMtesla1]

Nope

[@waltermoffat5217]

Why not do the hexagons first then the outer rectangle ?

[@EMtesla1]

That would work too! Whichever is easier for you.

[@Angel-ne9bu]

Hey evan my lights did not came with instruction. Is it possible for you to send me a photo of the instructions?

[@Angel-ne9bu]

@@EMtesla1 I try to buy the screws with your link and it does not have the size you bought. You got #6-1/2 right?

[@EMtesla1]

I just updated the link for the screws, I would get 1 inch. Also this is the best I could find for instructions. lightitup.store/pages/installation-instructions ... You may want to reach out to the manufacturers website for the full PDF.

[@brinkxmusic]

What are the dimensions of your garage? Where are you going to put the other light ?

[@EMtesla1]

its a 2 car garage dont have the exact dimensions

[@vargassaywhat]

How high is your ceiling and do they feel to bright for being in your garage?

[@EMtesla1]

I think it’s 8ft high ceilings. They may seem bright initially but I got use to them. I personally like them a lot. I can see more and they look great.

[@rubenalmaraz8262]

How long would it take to install it on average has anyone installed them

[@EMtesla1]

It was 7 + hours for me, (one person)

[@cosmicblooms]

Are they dimmable??

[@EMtesla1]

no they are not

[@Beastmountain208]

It uses 552 Watts so I would not say it saves on energy cost. Rather the opposite if you forget to turn it off.

[@Justinsportscard]

Nice video. Looks really nice. I am customizing a massive high end statue display. And I'll probably hang at least 2 of these sections in the air if I go this route. Thanks

[@EMtesla1]

Thank you!

[@tetsuo.0017]

Bro why you ain’t use a laser and MEASURE off the walls to get straight lines 😂😂

[@EMtesla1]

I'll need to invest in one of those haha!

[@kevin-qi7jr]

what name the led ??

[@EMtesla1]

link is in the description

[@donh3239]

How you installed these solo I have no clue. Use a drywall lift - rent one at Big Orange. It’ll reduce your cursing and headaches, guaranteed.

[@JonathanRootD]

pretty steep price. $730 😮

[@missingpiece2071]

yeah, cool lights but no way am I spending that much

[@EMtesla1]

You get what you pay for...quality and beautiful LED lights. :)

[@christophercormier4065]

For $600, they should come assembled...

[@EMtesla1]

That would be one large box!

[@christophercormier4065]

@EvanMichiels Great work though. I'm jealous, but I went with the 4ft leds that come in packs of 6 for $30 each. They seem legit. You could even do a similar thing with the 2ft runs

[@ypsifrog]

ouch $700 ?!

[@UncleFjester]

3:04 *I always wonder what type of a person bought those stupid floor things* 🤣🤣🤣

[@EMtesla1]

Uncle Fjester needs a huge I think.

[@elliotsimpson3591]

As awesome as those look, and as much light they put out, for $700!? Screw that noise!

[@EMtesla1]

Alright screw the noise lol

[@BV-co7hy]

There is no room for Trans in my Garage 😂

[@Computerfly]

Yeah.. errrr, you can't just insert screws into drywall and expect them to hold.

[@EMtesla1]

correct, yea mine are still holding but I did add some anchors on various parts of the lights. Thank you!

[@ien2023]

$729?? Thats expensive investment for a garage.

[@EMtesla1]

Doesn’t have to be a garage… lights can be used in a den or basement too. You get what you pay for… beautiful bright lights. :)

[@marcelcolado1851]

Its not expensive. Lol if you see them in person, correctly installed of course like our good man here in the video demonstrated. They are beautiful. You will understand why. And you might even say its actually a bit cheaper than all these single commercial lights that dont give this quality xD

[@ashleyamber5472]

They’ve dropped in price to 629

[@Vadmagyarpanda]

I can made it for 100€ 😂

[@ethanyoon3964]

What a poor guy this one.

[@cavy95]

Difficult install for $400, no thanks, even if I owned a Ferrari.

[@EMtesla1]

Easier with two people. Hard work pays off !

[@TheRealSamPrentice]

If you find a Ferrari, someone else would be doing it for you.

[@Nonaddictive]

way too much work.

700$? u serious bro you have been ripped off big time,, its just led lights

No any led lights, has connections between each other. It’s just something you will never understand
