Garage Lighting?

[Pureshine]

I meant to do paint correction on the sides of the car, the space of the garage not the lights. I got a 1 car garage and it is tight for me just curious how it is for you.

Sorry I have Plenty of space on both sides for paint correction. I have had F250 trucks and still plenty of room.

I tried both and they where to dark for me. When I'm doing paint correction I turn off the top ones.

That's odd cause the 4100's are actually brighter than the 6500. The difference is just the light color but actual lumens wise the 4100's are actually a brighter light. I'm an electrical apprentice and we put 4100's in shops and such.

I have 2 that go into a 2 plug to bulb adapter. These work with the switch

I unplugged one so you can see. I needed the bulb to 2 socket adapter, and the 2 plug to 3 plug adapter.

3 plug

Then the back 2 I have connected together via an extension cord clipped to the wall

Cord is clipped to the wall all the way to the socket

Where the black and white extension cords meet, I use it as my "switch"

Rear lights on

Rear lights off

White extension cord hangs and always stays "hot", it has 3 total outlets, so I can use it for my vacuum, buffer, halogens, or whatever at the same time.

This is the type of bulb to socket adapter you need to turn any light bulb controlled by a switch into a power source for fluorescent strips controlled by a switch:

These adapters are all 2 prong plugs, and strip lights are all 3 prongs, so you will also need some of these:

So turning all 4 strips on involves flicking a switch and connecting 1 plug.

You should get and industrial power strip and plug everything in to one outlet. Thats what I did much easier this way I can post a picture if you want.

You can also open the light up and direct wire them. That's what I'm doing with mine.
