KellyRipley Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Hi, this is Kelly from CA. Currently I am looking for the replacement of garage lighting, perhaps with the core, universe flood light or high bay light. Do you have any recommendations? Thanks a lot. Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Hi Kelly and welcome to ratsun. Could you fill out your profile with a rough location and what Datsuns you have. I'm sure we have more in common that garage lighting. Pictures are more than welcome. 1 Link to comment

Ratwagon1600 Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Candles, RW suggests lots of candles, they make for a wonderful mood light in my garage. Oh and incense, you MUST have incense darling to complete the effect. Hope this helps? TTFN. 2 Link to comment
DaBlist Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 I use these a lot. Cheap, everybody sells them. Harbor Freight probably has the best price. If you have a low ceiling or nearby wall try facing them at that. If you have to point them directly at the work the contrast between the bright and shadows can be annoying. If it's cold where you are working having them pointed at you feels good though. 1 Link to comment

Jesse C. Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Costco has led shop light for like 30 bucks almost 4ft long. No pics but my buddy just got one im thinking about picking up 4 for the garage Yes, the LED ones. I grabbed one for my hobby room and it works great! Now I need to start replacing my garage ones with those. 1 Link to comment

DaBlist Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Lock it, we've been trolled Nobody googles garage lighting and doesn't find more info than they can read. "Hmmm google doesn't come up with anything. Who should I ask? Ford guys - no, Toyota guys - hmmm, no, Honda guys - no way. Datsun guys, yeah Datsun guys they know everything!" 4 Link to comment

bananahamuck Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 I just installed 8 foot florescents and if you open the main door wide enough it almost lights up one side of the vehicle i'm working on,, outside in the gravel . 1 Link to comment
240zness Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 two cents in on lighting, everybody should think about low voltage DC lighting for LEDs in the future.. not a lot of options but led tube replacements and even the shop lights are not going to last as long as advertised. They are very cheap and even inefficient. It's all good they work great, different/better? light than florescent Floods led or halogen are impressive Just saying high voltage, ballast/resistor driven lighting is silly. Your phone charger gets hot going from AC to DC 5V Glad I got the chance to post this, I would try and sell my companys shit and get the thread locked .. but we loose money on sales right now. I could set up a demo for SD members , free :) Setting up our ceramic/aluminium led strips is like installing stereo speakers. An led array can run straight off your car battery , and act like a resistor emitting light and heat. And safe for kids Quality light is usually overlooked Link to comment
Draker Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 I second the Costco leds. I installed 4 of them in my garage. Link to comment

hobospyder Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 I just installed 8 foot florescents and if you open the main door wide enough it almost lights up one side of the vehicle i'm working on,, outside in the gravel . I have 4 spares that were hardwired in, 2 have bad ballasts but they're yours if you want them Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 What about a skylight, can that be used? Natural light? Are there any windows? I've seen opposite walls painted a light color to reflect light in. Link to comment
