Movable garage flood lights

[beags86]

Wanted to build something to permanently mount some flood lights, but still wanted to be able to move them around.
Attached are pics of one. Each arm is 20 inches, allowing 40 inchs of stick out and it will allow 360 degrees of the light to move. And also the light can be tilted 90 degrees down if need be. Probably Overkill but it will allow me to move the lights as I need them above my bench and front of shop to help avoid Shadows and help put more light where I need it.
I mounted them as high as I could without needing a ladder/stepstool/bucket to move them. I'm 6'2" so its still decently high.
They fold up nice and flat for general everyday use.
I'll only have to really pull them out for more focalized light, when I am rebuilding and engine or such.

If there was ever to much light in a shop, I have never encountered it.




So I used the single life for a while and decided it still wasn't enough.
Surely a double light will do it!




I built two of these for the front of my shop. So far im happy with my 4 movable lights.
This gives me 8,000 lumens to move as I wish.

great idea...I bought some LED's to mount on the wall in front of an engine bay, but didn't think about the moveable arm....nicely done!

These ones were less than $20 ea.

Amazon? I need a few of these for under hoist lighting. Be nice to just have them mounted to the walls.

These "snap-on" lights were 17 apiece

I think so Jesse but I don’t think they put out as much as those snapons

Where did you get them?

Costco. I see that Menards has a light suspiciously close. As in... An exact copy for around the same money. I think the lumens was slightly higher and the price was just a few bucks more.
