So an opportunity came up to move into a larger storage unit...I went from an 11x30 to a 12x36.
One of the things I'd like to do is string a row of shop lights along the top.
Can anyone recommend a linkable LED light that is bright but not crazy expensive?? I was thinking (4) 4ft lights strung together...https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...874a3572df.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...4f02e27761.jpg

These are decent. $35 each. I have a pair above my boat. eventually might add more.

The programmable shop light from Costco was about $30 on sale. $40 normally. It is an LED four foot light that you set a series of dip switches for light intensity, sensitivity of the motion detector, amount of ambient light to have the light ready for motion, time to go 1/2 dim and time to go completely off. I put it in the shed at full sensitivity and full brightness so it turns on as I approach the shed by the window. Next year I have a $150 solar system from Home Depot that I will run it from. 46 watts at full intensity. I didn't know it had all of those features as I wanted a motion detector that lights up before I go in.
I've seen the Costco ones and I really like the motion detection capability...unfortunately they are not linkable so a daisy-chain configuration wouldn't work.Quote:

The ones I linked above from home Depot are axle to be Daisy chained.
Thanks Trayson!Quote:

What I learned the hard way about the linkable ones, at least the ones from Costco, is that just because they are linkable does not mean they work in unison.
What I had envisioned was that I pull the chain on one light and the entire string would come on, that isn't the case. What I ended up doing is turning them all on and just disconnecting/reconnecting at the power outlet of my storage unit.
