all right guys we just got the electrical done in
the shop and we finally got some lights in here so in this video we’re going to show you which
lights we used and why we think they’re the best lights you can get for your shop all right guys
as you can see we have plenty of light in here and i could not be happier with the choice of
light that we went with after researching all the options it was obvious to me that the old style of
long tube lights just doesn’t cut it anymore with the new technology and the leds they’re coming out
with now you can get twice as much light in a much smaller package now guys i am going to put a link
to all the lights we used in the description below if you want to get them for yourself so make sure
you check that out and if you haven’t done it yet guys make sure you hit that subscribe button
down below hit that notification bell and give us a thumbs up that really helps us out the first
thing we’re going to do is just give you kind of a breakdown of all the specs of these high bay led
lights that we’re using and then we’ll give you a tour of the rest of the shop and show you what
other lights we’re using we put in six high bay led lights from hyperlite and each one of these
lights is putting out 21 000 lumens 21 000 lumens and just to give you a little comparison your
average hundred watt bulb would give you about a thousand lumens now like i said before these
lights are from hyper light these can be found on amazon and i will link to those in the description
below they have two color choices you can go at 4 000 or 5 000 k for those of you that don’t know
5000 is an ultra white light that almost has a little bit of a blue tint it’s what you might see
in like a doctor’s office or something like that what we’re using is a 4000 which is still a very
white light but it is a little warmer than that 5000 k and it’s usually a little easier on your
eyes that’s just what i preferred in our shop now hyper light does give you a lot of other options
you can go with 100 watt 150 watt 200 watt or 250 watt and that’s going to depend mainly on how
high you’re mounting these lights for my purposes these lights are about 13 feet up so we went with
the 150 watt like i said before each one of these lights is 21 000 lumens so with the six high bay
lights we have here we have a total of 126 000 lumens in this shop and i got to tell you guys i
am loving how bright it is in here now the install these lights was actually super easy you have a
couple different options you can either hard wire them in or it does come with a plug so you could
just plug it directly into an outlet if you wanted to other than that the installation was super
simple it just has a hook and you just hook it on an eyelet or a chain or whatever you want to hook
that on each of these lights is about 11 inches in diameter and they do have an optional reflector
you can put on it if you’re interested in getting a little more illumination above where the lights
are mounted it’ll reflect it up to your ceiling all right guys this is going to be the big reveal
here and the lord said let there be light now i know the camera is not doing this justice because
it is compensating for how bright those lights are shining into the camera lens we did wire these
lights so they could be turned off three at a time in kind of a zigzag pattern there that way if you
wanted a little bit dimmer light you could do that and then for projects when you’re actually
working in here you can turn all six on for the full 126 000 lumens all right guys now
i’m going to walk you around here so you can see some of the other lights we’re using in the
shop and maybe give you a little preview of what you can expect in future videos all right guys now
obviously this is the main section of the shop you can see there we got a nice big stack of two by
fours and you know it’s roughly a million dollars worth of wood by 2021 standards uh that is for
the workbench we’re getting ready to build so make sure you stay tuned for that video and here is our
side room so we decided to go with these kind of industrial looking lights in the ceiling there’s
three of those each of those has a 150 watt led bulb right here we have this nice decorative hang
down light and that’s going to be directly over a bar that we’re going to be building right here
we’re also going to be building some countertops in here beside the refrigerator and then down
on this end we’re going to have a seating area and a poker table and all that good stuff now
if you guys remember i am going to be facing all these walls with barn wood so that’s another video
you have to look forward to and then coming over here guys we have our bathroom we just did one
of those same light fixtures in the ceiling there and then going out here into our lean two we’ll
show you what kind of lights we used out here now we just use these led canopy lights each
of these lights is about 2 400 lumens and then it’s more than enough light to light up what we
have going on out here i’m sorry guys that is a little bit of a mess but here’s another little
sneak preview you can see some of the barn wood that we have stacked up that’s going to be
going on the walls on the inside of the shop and then going around here to show you
the lights on the outside of the shop you can see we have a fixture over each window
and then one up high in the center each of these lights is a gooseneck style light i think that
looks really nice on this farmhouse style shop and we have dust to dawn bulbs in each of those
fixtures so they come on automatically at night and then go off by themselves in the day all
right guys now that’s it for the video if you’re considering lights for your shop or your garage
i really don’t think you can go wrong with these led high bay lights from hyperlite you’re really
going to get a lot more performance out of these than you would out of those tubular style leds
and certainly more than any type of fluorescent or halogen lights don’t forget guys i am going to
link in the description below to all the lights we’re using here in our main shop and in the side
rooms make sure you guys leave us a comment down below what type of lights are you using in your
