What is good lighting for a garage?
Mar 26, 2007 by pennsyjake | Posted in Other - Home & Garden
The garage is 34 feet wide by 28 feet long.
I put several banks of flourescent tubes in my garage and it makes plenty of light (enough light I have been able to spray paint cars) for less cost than incandescent bulbs. The only problem is in the winter it takes them a while to warm up so you don't get full light for maybe 15-20 minutes but I don't work in the unheated garage much in the winter. If it was heated and I used it as a workshop the lights would be fine year around.

All inside the walls, but above the gargage door you cant see the romex wires why not???Lastly i want the lighting to both go on at the same time using both motion and turning it on when i need it. thanks

What kind of lighting could I use to take pics inside my garage?
Aug 01, 2008 by powerdiva411 | Posted in Photography
I sell vintage clothing on line and use a model. All my pictures are taken inside the garage with the garage door open during the day time. I use a canon powershot A630 camera. I purchased a pair of Smith Victor lights for about $120 but those are not strong enough and overheat really fast. The flash is not enough to really do much and adjusting each individual picture would take too much time since I do a few hundred a day. If anybody knows what else I can use that would be incredible apprecciated. All I could spend is probably less than $500. Thanks so much!!
Here is the link to an example

If you're shooting only to sell clothing, not really into photography as a hobby, I'd strongly suggest a photo editor such as Picasa or Gimp before buying more photo equip.
A good photo edit can work miracles.
Just to see what you can do, download http://picasa.google.com/
And try to add some light, contrast, etc to your shot.
You'll probably find that you don't need to spend any money.
Now, if you have an extra 500 bucks lying around, forget the peripherals for now and buy yourself a nice camera. Nikon's D40 fits your budget and it's really many steps above the Canon you're using, it'll make a difference in terms of getting the picture you want.

How do I add an exterior light that is always on to an existing garage light that is switched?
May 21, 2008 by gorillawizard | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
I want to put a motion sensor light outside of my garage that can be left on all hours of the night but the only power source I have is a light in the garage that is on a switch. Is there a way to wire the two so I can leave the outside on without having to leave the inside on?
why hire an electrician they always over charge. where the switch is, attach your new light wires directly to the switch on the side that the wires come from the breaker (test with a voltage meter if not sure, with switch off should have 110vac on 1 black wire and 0 on the other black wire) disconect power. hook up black to black hot(tested earlier) white to white, and green to ground, now your security light will always have power and interior light will be controlled by switch.

How to use flexible conduit to wire a new outdoor, garage light.?
Aug 12, 2006 by WeileMom | Posted in Do It Yourself (DIY)
We are installing a new outdoor light to the other side of our garage. We are using pre-wired flexible conduit to connect the power from the existing outdoor light. The flexible conduit has three wires- black, white, and one without covering (plain copper). We are guessing that the bare wire is a ground, but what do we connect it to?
Yes, the bare wire is the ground wire.
If the box is metal, connect it to the box.
If the box is plastic, connect it directly to the light fixture. Most light fixtures now days have a green screw somewhere on them for this purpose.
It is imperitive you keep the white with the white, and black on black.
Remember to shut off the circuit breaker that controls that area first.
BillyandGaby above is incorrect about black and white.
White is the common wire, and is not hot and cannot hurt you if you touch it (if everything is wired correctly). Black is the hot wire, and you can get shocked if you connect with the black wire and any ground wire, common wire or...water or the ground....
If in doubt, buy a how-to electrical book for home-wiring at the local hardware store.
