Hexagon LED Garage/Workshop Lights Installation | Builds by Maz
Installing hexagon LED lights is a great way to add super bright lighting to your garage, workshop, or other area. It's fast and easy and can make any space look super modern. I bought this light set by CDKMAX, which can be found here: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CJBNLWY9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
These kits can also be strung together if you are filling a larger space, and can be used on the ceiling or even along a wall. Installation takes about 15 minutes and doesn't require any specialized tools - anyone can do this!

    I watched 3 or so prior to yours based on number of views and skimming glowing comments, yet even this feeble mind could tell the tutorials were ripe with at least one insane error totally destroying their validity - A real shame when people claim to be authorities and might hurt people in their arrogance.

    If you wanted to make those windows double paned, how would you have done it?

    • @buildsbymaz
      @buildsbymaz 8 днів тому

      Hmm good question. Probably do everything the same so that you have the single pane window in place, and then glue some spacers around the border and attach the 2nd pane to the spacers. Then use a trim or caulk around the edges to fill the gap along the edge between the 2 panes. That way you have a sealed layer of air between the 2 sheets of plexiglass.

    Last time I did this I had someone else using a hose to spray water while doing this. We had no dust. Grinding is the absolute best way to get this epoxy to last long. Two years in and I've had no hot tire pick up or anything like that. Pro tip: wear boots instead of flip flops for safety and great ground contact.
