New to me work space

[85RZwade]

We're all moved into the house we bought...except all my stuff in Dennis's garage! I now have a little garage all my own, and I have to fit all my good shit inside, as well as find space to work on things; organization will be critical! Some before and after move-in:






Here's what I've perpetrated so far:






Need shelving, work benches and the ability to go without sleep.

Cool Wade Although it appears you're already running out of space! 
Looks like you need to get some Barrina LED lights in there

[dgorms]

Wade, what you need is a BIGGER garage! I gots a bunch of LED lights for ya.

nice. get shit tons of led shop lights. totally worth it.

i have 16 2' strips in a 2 car garage. the more, the better.

I have convinced numerous people to get some LED shop lights and every single person has come back and said it was one of the best investments they have made in their shop. For like a $100 you can really light a 2 car garage up. They work great for working under a hood or beneath a car too. They aren't fragile like a standard bulb style shop light but they also create a much wider range of light. I glued some magnets to one, glued the cord into the socket, it's handy and was like $8 all said and done.

Remember the law of "stuff" - stuff multiplies to occupy all space allotted. Then continues multiplying.

I have four 8' fluorescent fixtures and some instructions to convert them to LED. I totally agree that lighting is paramount; my eyes need all the help they can get! There are also plans to build shelves, cupboards and benches, as well as divest myself of some stuff.

cheaper to get the barrina ones. those conversions are a pain the ass. i did it once, never again. https://www.amazon.com/Barrina-Integrated-Fixture-Utility-Electric/dp/B07DNPL2VC/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=3TZQ6GJO3OMUW&keywords=%286+Pack%29+Barrina+LED+T5+Integrated+Single+Fixture%2C+4FT%2C+2200lm%2C+6500K+%28Super+Bright+White%29%2C+20W%2C+Utility+LED+Shop+Light%2C+Ceiling+and+Under+Cabinet+Light%2C+Corded+Electric+with+ON%2FOFF+Switch%2C+ETL+Listed&qid=1675696927&s=hi&sprefix=6+pack+barrina+led+t5+integrated+single+fixture%2C+4ft%2C+2200lm%2C+6500k+super+bright+white+%2C+20w%2C+utility+led+shop+light%2C+ceiling+and+under+cabinet+light%2C+corded+electric+with+on%2Foff+switch%2C+etl+listed%2Ctools%2C109&sr=1-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUFUTzlMOVpERDRWQUcmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTAzNTA0NTUzREJQNVZOU01DWUEwJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA2OTc0NTdSVzE1QkpRTzVOVCZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=

and you can link them all. best thign i ever did and yes, i was one of those on here that took the suggestion.

Conversion*is* a PIA, I know from some 'farming' I did.  I converted and old fluorescent rig to LED and found that new fixtures is the easy way to go.  Rip those old ones out and start fresh.

[85RZwade]

Barrinas are ordered; don't say I can't take good advice! Thanks, guys
