DREAM GARAGE Build! | LED Lights 

No…………… I was just about to look for them to buy them

@@matthewbarnes4993 Hyperlite now makes one at the same price point. $49 on Amazon. Two of these started smoking and popping - good thing I was in here when it happened. They sent me two replacements no questions asked but I think I’ll be replacing them.

@@HiddenCreekHomestead I wouldn't trust them....upgrade!

@@Dozz70 already on it

Thank you for updating what did you insulate the building with?

Im glad. Sometimes I worry that I dont convey enough info verbally. Thanks for watching Dan!

(Replying from my new channel) Thank you!

Thank you! Little by little.

I completely understand. In fact, renting a lift for $250 per day made me question my decision to go with 12-16 foot ceilings lol. Hopefully I reap the rewards when and if I ever install a lift in there. Thanks for watching!!

Oh no!!! Lol well for me it was an easy sell… we had no garage so it just increases our equity. Thanks for watching!

I ran out but am graciously accepting donations

Had a metal tube higher

I pre drill holes and then use self tapping screws

Not yet… SOOO many things going on IN the shop. Check out that channel: youtube.com/@intheshoptv?si=LcsFlQ3G4OusgYyx

I was an electrician for 18 years. Wire in outbuildings/garages has to be protected. If its enclosed inside a walk, that counts as protection, if not, it must be in conduit. MC cable serves the same purpose (protecting the wire) at much less cost than running conduit and is much easier to work with. Your local municipality will have codes but if in doubt, follow the NEC.

(Replying from my new channel).. you could always just put a carabiner between the u-bolt and the light which would act as a quick-connect feature.

@@intheshoptv Good idea, why dinna I think of that....one of my Duh moments lol

I have PLENTY of those. youtube.com/@intheshoptv?si=LcsFlQ3G4OusgYyx

Yes. Two options - if the center shaft is long enough, they make an opener that hangs iff the shaft specifically meant for roll up doors. Or in my case, you can take a standard garage door opener and mount it face down on the wall with the track pointing towards the floor. Then just attach a pipe to the bottom of the door, and the opener to the pipe!

(Im replying from my new channel) Technically ALL receptacles in a garage are supposed to be GFCI protected as per the 2020 version of the NEC. However, It’s important to check your local code. The reason I say that is that adoption of the code is done in a variety of ways: Statewide By city By municipality Not at all. And the adoption of a specific code or code update is always tied to a date. And your local AHJ will know the date. Go by your local code. According to the new NEC code, Id have to GFCI protect my welding machine outlet, or hardwire it (which Im not doing). Many local municipalities dont adopt everything.

@@intheshoptv thanks

@@pete7894 yessir!

There is another video showing how I got the finish, the concrete company power troweled it, and then we used a roll-on sealer. I wish it still looked like that but with what we do in the shop now, its to be expected. Check out my other channel “in the shop tv” for all the content inside the shop

Code enforcement wants it that way. No biggie.

Would be happy to! We’re not that far from Greer at all… Southern Greenville County

@@HiddenCreekHomestead I am in Southern Greenville County too! And we moved from Staten Island in 2006. Most importantly, I am about to add power to my metal building and that's how I found your videos. I have a lot of questions, the biggest one being if I have to run MC or use conduit. Is bare Romex allowed? Other lots of little detail type items too. I'd love to pick your brain. Seems like you have done all the research.

@@paul11273 Absolutely. Email me… come by and check out the shop and I’ll go over it all with you! Retired NYDC electrician😊

I just wanted to say it was great meeting you the other day. Your advice has been much appreciated. We are underway with wiring up my building. Thanks again!

@@paul11273 Yes! Enjoyed hanging out in the shop with you guys! Let me know if you need anything!

As long as they aren’t laying on the heat sink, it’ll be fine

Roughly 14’

Yes they are. I have a channel that I film for much more frequently that is ALL in that shop building. Come check it out if you have a chance! ru-vid.com/group/PLS6i13ij_WMmN-KMCqQxIiT2xBzHJ0ivX

@@HiddenCreekHomestead just subscribed to it. Thanks for the reply. I been needing new lights and was about to order the hyperlite heroes but I think ima go with these and save 30$ a light. It will add up with the 16 I plan to get. I’ll be able to save close to 500$. That will cover the wires I need to add to hook them up

@@joshuamartin7443 Hyperlite has a new high bay light thats $49. And thank you for the sub!

Thanks for noticing lol. Im certainly not a pro at this “homesteading” thing, but I may have twisted a wire or two in my past😊. Yeah, GFCI’s can certainly be funny at times. So just a hunch but your lathe might be a variable frequency drive, which will undoubtedly trip a GFCI device. A workaround is to hardwire the lathe with a disconnect which will render it code compliant. Yeah, LED’s are hit and miss. I have some cheapos that lasted forever and some expensive ones that crapped out prematurely, visa versa, and everything in between. Heaven forbid products have any quality consistency anymore, you know? As always, thanks for watching and for the comment! -Mike

@@HiddenCreekHomestead you’re right about the lathe and the variable frequency drive. They’re pretty common in electronic speed control lathes. The electrician who did the basic wiring for the shop put it on its own circuit to avoid the GFI problem and the inspector never questioned it, so all is well. How’s the garden? We finally got ours planted. Short growing season here in Minnesota

@@gregj2647 Thats great! Its going well, though we got a late start… again lol. I should probably do a video on it.

Thanks for watching. Catch the inside the shop content on my other channel “in the shop tv”

Great question! But no, in fact garages in 99/100 new homes are only required to have one 20a circuit in total! Crazy, I know. The only caveat to the garage door opener, is that it must be GFCI protected BUT the GFCI must be readily accessible (not over 8’). Thank you for watching and for the comment!
