squonk 43,677 #1 Posted May 4 Went shopping at Lowes for Mothers Day. My wife loves tools and her cordless drill has seen better days. Whilst wandering around I found this cool socket fan light. 3 speeds and 3 light settings with remote. $50 So I unscrewed one of my LED's and tried it out. Pretty neat! I had 2 LED lights on each end of the bench. So I'm going to get 2 more electrical boxes and another fan. Put my LED light back up and add 2 more sockets and have dual fans over the bench. 13 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 43,677 #5 Posted May 4 Throws quite a bit of air for what it is. Comes with 2 extensions to lower it from the ceiling but they would be in the way when I get stuff off the top shelf 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OoPEZoO 565 #14 Posted Friday at 05:08 PM It's a better solution than what I screwed up in my shop. When I built it, I thought I was being slick and installed 2 full size ceiling fans that are always powered and have long pull strings to turn them on. All that was fine and works great, but where I screwed up was my LED lighting. I installed surface mounted LED shop lights to the ceiling, all daisy chained together and running off power from the light switch at the door. By themselves, they also work great, in fact exceeded my expectations great. What I didn't think about, was having the LEDs ABOVE the fans......big mistake. It works, but can be very disorienting depending on what you are doing. Sometimes it doesn't seem to bother me, other times I feel about half nauseous. I feel like i need to hang one of those seizure warnings on the front door of the shop some days. It gives off a strobe like effect. So most days, the ceiling fans stay off and I turn on the old trust box fan 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
