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 shop and if you have any questions or anything
