This motivates me to plan something for my own garage in the springtime. Maybe order a roll-off dumpster to start! I can't remember what it looked like empty, lol.

That cabinet of Lutron gear 😳 WOW.

Mike is the Man!

Very nice! Excited for the RadioRA series!

Love your garage flooring

I’ve learned a lot from Mike when it comes to electrical

The garage windows would look awesome with some tint. It would help the AC too.

The RS is stunning. That’s all I have to say.

Chase on the table was hilarious, love him

I need these lights

That’s a serious Lutron haul.

Lighting looks great!

11 seconds of GT3 content is better than none.

I'm hoping to put some LED shoplights in my garage this winter, that's kinda the same thing

Dang Mike you were quick to throw UPS under the bus when in reality it was Fedex freight

How are you wiring multiple rows of lights to a single PowPak? Just wire nut it altogether in a single J-Box?

5 gang box and plate cover, thats brave lol

Was that a vacuum canister with the og label or trash can?

I've had UPS FedEx DHL and Amazon all break shit when they're throwing it at the door, Amazon will drive across your front yard on the way out which I have on video lol.

“Quite a bit to install” - Understatement of the year 😂

Is that a OG labeled Vacumaid? @24:11

Is it recommended to run the linear lights parallel with the car or perpendicular like towards the front of the garage?

You can do them either way. As long as they aren't too far apart, you will get even dispersion. I like symmetry where possible, so this configuration worked best.

There isn’t. I have round at HQ and square here. They just diffuse the light, so there isn’t any perceived difference.

Are the 3 switches power dictated or preference and do the Cree lights hum on dimmers? Thanks

You could run all of the lights from a single zone and switch if you wanted that. No hum on these.

I love the lights and love your garage setup. I also watched your garage tour from a while ago. Question, I’m just getting into detailing and I don’t have any water access inside my garage other than my water heater. I had my contractor run pex from the cold water line of my water heater to the wall adjacent to it so I can mount my giraffe tools pressure washer. It’s been a great setup, the only downside is, the pressure washer stops putting out pressurized water after about 3 sprays of the trigger. I don’t know if a way to measure the PSI, which is what giraffe tools told me to do. Any thoughts you have as to why the water stops being pressurized after 3 sprays of the trigger? Thanks!

How do you control lighting when coming home at night through the garage door? Is there some sort of sensor?

@ObsessedGarage

Yes, I have the very last row of light programmed to the 5 motion sensor I installed.

Curious how many lumens that setup is putting out? Ordered 10 Led high bay fixtures at 14K lumens each and wondering if that will be enough for my 1250 square foot garage?

@ObsessedGarage

My garage is just under 1000 sq.ft. I have 13, 12000 lumen fixtures. It depends on your ceiling height and the fixtures you have. These are 8’ long, so that 12000 lumen is widely dispersed and then diffused with the lens.

How much power do the 4 foot light sections consume?

About .4 amps

I have 32x24 garage with 8 foot ceilings. What’s the total lumens I need ?

Trying to figure out order. What is the spacing of the lights in the 2 car area ? It looks like there are 2 four foot lights in between? Are you keeping those or removing? Thanks!

@ObsessedGarage

Жыл бұрын

We eyeball the ceiling for symmetry then layout the lights based on that. The 2 car area is about 24' wide, we have 3 rows of fixtures from front to back, so the would be 4' from the walls and 8' between each fixture. We have 2 8' lights in each row.

Also whole point of having a lighting control system is for scenes. You should be able to get rid of all 3 of those picos for a keypad. Looks way cleaner and you get rid of the 5 gang down to a 3.

This doesn't feel like an Obsessed Garage video. This guy is using Klein wire strippers. On this channel they should only be using the best of the best which for wire strippers is Wiha. I am an electrician and spend over a decade search for a set of wire strippers that last and are comfortable to use. Wiha by far is the best. I just recently bought a new pair after using my old pair daily for over 8 years. After all that time they still worked perfectly but I had ripped the top part of the handle and it was interfering with the lock. Wiha has updated their strippers, but they are still very similar. I hope I get 8 years out of my new pair again With Klein and Ideal I could only get a month or two before they wouldn't cut cleanly through stranded wire and the edges of the blades would hit instead of overlapping like they are supposed to.

@@billybones6129 While Knipex makes some awesome tools their wire strippers just don't do it for me. The main reason is they don't make standard wire strippers. They make a couple of different needle nose pliers with stripping holes and those automatic things that pull the insulation off for you. The automatic style strippers would be great if you do all of your wiring at a workbench, but for field work I have never seen anyone use them. I would love for them to make a stand set, I am sure they would be great.
