Another Lighting video, Travis? Yes! This time I'm adding some serious lumens to my basement. Let's be honest this space really needed some attention in the lighting department. When we bought the house the entire unfinished part of our basement (~1,000 sq ft) was lit by a couple of sad incandescent bulbs and 2 haphazardly hung fluorescent fixtures. With an upcoming project to transform part of that space into a gym coming up, I knew that now is the time to make the upgrade.
There are lots of lighting choices out there, I could have used the screw in LED fixtures I recently put in my garage, but I opted to go with the Barrina 4' LED fixtures that I had previously put in my shop in Texas. The biggest reason for doing this was to keep the light fixtures up as high as possible so they won't be in the way when we're doing gym things!
Barrina fixtures are great because they are cheap, put off a ton of light, and are very easy to put up. It took me about 2 hours total to completely redo the lights in my basement and that was including hardwiring the lights into my existing junction boxes.
I've got to say that it's totally worth it and I couldn't be happier with the results! Don't let a project like this intimidate you, just go for it!

I saw these in your other video and immediately bought them for my garage/workshop. I love them. I didn’t realize how much the previous poor lighting made me not want to go out there. I’m currently moving to a new home and, when I settle in, I’m doing it all over again. Cheap, easy and awesome.

@bmlkohs 3 года назад

Just added these to my garage that is also my workshop about a month ago and the difference is amazing! They have been on for sometimes 12-13 hours a day with no issues.

@OpusX2010X 3 года назад

Based upon your shop video where you added them to your garage, i did the same thing and have loved every day since. The small two car garage was only being lit by ONE tiny light bulb and now has SIX 4' LED lights. The install was simple and was a fraction of the cost of buying them from a big box store. Thanks again for the recommendation and keep perusing Shop Greatness!

@moldingourmonkeys2619 3 года назад

Perfectly timed video for me. I was just talking to my wife this weekend about how we could get more light fixtures in our storage room in the basement. I’m now jumping over to Amazon to order those lights and I think that will be my Saturday project this week. Thanks for another great video!

@makernova8160 3 года назад

These lights are awesome! After I saw your first video about them I immediately bought some for my basement workshop. It has made a night and day difference! Especially important for filming so I made sure to do that as soon as I could. Thanks for the tip and the motivational videos!

Replaced my fluorescent fixture with a set of these my third bay garage shop. Perfect lighting. Easy install. I used the wiring for the fluorescents to install an outlet box, which kept the lights on the light switch.

One additional tip I would make is that the bare led can give a bit of a glare (was really annoying on short ceiling where my eye would catch it even when not looking up). To combat this I got some diffusion film and it really helped.

For a smaller space, or even faster install, get one of the adjustable LED sets that just screw into the socket. You usually see them in garages. They come in nice bright (5000K) color. And various amounts of lumens.

Thank you. With the link you provided for the product I was able to determine the amount of amps drawn by each light. I am looking to illuminate a large crawl space under a home and was curious on how many of these I can put up. Did the product instruction happen to mention a total number of lights that could be strung together using the wires provided? My guess would be the provided wire rather than the power supplying wire would be the limiting factor.

Really enjoy the video and remember the ones you did in your previous location too. Question: Do you do a lot of post processing or use auxiliary lighting on your videos for the CRI with these lights? I have just been trying to figure out the real world difference between >80 and > 90 CRI when it comes to video recordings?

@frankmthompson 3 года назад

I thought the shadow under your hat was for effect until after the reveal (to show how dark it was down there).

@georgeledbetter2559 2 года назад

The presenter did a great job organizing this lighting improvement. In an application, it would be helpful to know the number of fixtures that would be required based on the square feet involved. Is 3 watts per square foot the right standard? A mention of the conversion of lumens to watts would be a good reminder for those of us who don’t deal with this sort of thing every day. Could intermediate switches be used to partially light the space? In advance, you would need to know maximum number of watts that could be used without overloading the circuit. Otherwise one of the very best videos I have seen on RU-vid.

@billcunningham8485 3 года назад

I have had these in my garage shop and basement for a few years now. I love them. I switched to the 8 ft version for the garage. I have had a few lights go bad over time however Barrina customer service stands behind the warranty and sent me out new ones promptly. One tip for going into drywall - the supplied mounting brackets are okay. What I found works well is using a inch and a half conduit strap. These make it easier to mount the lights without worry of the clips not lining up exactly. like this one: www.amazon.com/Gardner-Bender-GCC-510-Conduit-Plastic/dp/B000VL83MA/ref=sr_1_12?dchild=1&keywords=conduit+strap+plastic&qid=1616001844&sr=8-12

@BrianABowlin 3 года назад

I bought the 8’ versions of these lights and plugged two together using the little hard connector that comes with them for 16’ span down the length of my garage. I have five of these strips in the two car portion of my garage and bump out area. The color temp of these lights are great at 6000k, which is daylight, but the are so bright, it’s difficult to look at them. I decided to cover each bulb with white, semitransparent shelf paper that you can get at HD. Shelf paper has a light adhesive and works great for this because it’s slightly stretchy, so you can lay it over the curved bulbs easily. Now I can have all the light I wanted, and keep from damaging my vision. I’m only partially kidding about that, these bulbs are BRIGHT! One issue I ran into and still haven’t resolved is that the bulbs pull apart from each other every so often. I’m guessing the ceiling moves with temperature changes and causes the separation. It’s annoying, but easy to push them back into the connector.

@BrianABowlin 2 года назад

Hey Travis. Back when I first saw your video of installing lights in your Texas garage, I installed the 8' version of them in my garage. That was January of 2020. Since that time, every light strip has MANY LEDs burned out. I'm talking 15-20 per. These things are dying at an alarming rate, and if you look at the reviews on Amazon, you'll see that this is happening to lots of other people. I've contacted the seller, and they have agreed to send me replacements under the 3 year warranty, but I'm sure those lights will fail in 2 years time as well. Replacing these lights every few years is basically renting them, which I'm not on board with. I think it's time to find another, better option. Just letting you know.

@ShopNation 2 года назад

Wow! First I’ve heard of that, I can’t say I’ve seen anything like that in mine or from others who have put them in
