Shop Lights to LED TEST mock up, Hose reel for water, and wheel weights

Had to hang the new wheel weights, hose reel and I am not dumping my lead ones which are the OEM two piece units no matter what they say.

Played with some LED lights converting the 8 foot tubes.

Oh my what a difference.

Just look how bright the front wall is behind bench/cabinet area compared to in back.

That hose reel is at Sam's club and I recommend it.
Seems well made for the coin.

I keep toying with the idea of trying some like this in my garage, where I've only got an 8' ceiling. It's not that I'm dissatisfied with the light from the tubes, it's that they get short-cycled all the time, which means they constantly burn out and LEDs shouldn't care.

Why is the hose reel higher than the electrical outlet? This seems like a bad idea to me.

Yeah.......... I mentioned that too..........as I was also concerned, however, I was advised that this is what circuit breakers are for........... with GFI contained additionally at panel.

Todd was like screw it........... no one else comes in here but us, and no one else is gonna be allowed to touch it after a customer broke the last hose.

He is correct........ they now get the outside hose for use.

Like those LEDs a lot.
Can you aim them individually ?

I can't stand it anymore, just can't help myself.
Especially after asking for a slew of them myself today.
So sorry Jack, this is what came to mind when I read that...


It posts the Autoscan or else it gets the hose again...

Yes you can with the way we mounted can be turned on the Velcro with a Velcro shim Pad.

I just wanted direct light on the bench in that location........ for the others especially like rear tire areas will aim them for the lift area when the car is up in air blocking light differently.

The thing I want vacated is the dam buzzing of the ballast's + the heat they create.....just tired of that crap and bulbs blowing out.

Even with 5 tons of AC in shop the lamps on ceiling generate a bit of heat.

Pointed laser heat gun detector on them to compare and at the buzz they are 108 F degrees the LEDS are at almost shop temp. That was with shop at 70 F no humidity.

I am sure that will be another improvement costing less to AC and + light up the shop.

Love that clip.....mine is when the camera displaying the extended doorbell going off .

Yep I can understand that, drove me crazy too at our shop.

More lights

Lights? Pfft. My eye is drawn to what seems to be a pristine-looking Mk.1 Scirocco.

You too?
I initially focused on the fan due to the depth of field, then looked down and whaaaaaaa?

Then I scanned the rest of the frame for what Jack redacted in the other photo.
Am thoroughly convinced that is where he keeps the bodies after they get the hose...
