LED lights for a shed

[formula400]

Right, currently looking at lighting options for the shed.
What’s good??? It’s 15x5ft
I want to be able to work/see in there, it has minimal natural light.

So……. What are my options? It’s hooked up to the mains

Also any recommendations on a good tubalar heater to keep the chill at bay.

I have two led striplights in the garage,they are very bright,much better than the old fluorescent that used to be there.

I have loads of led striplights. They're cheap as chips and if you have a few with simple plugs then they make cheap 'work lights' for decorating etc

Would I have 2 running the length of the shed or what??? A few going across?

Is there a calculation to work out how many per square foot?

[MrLongbeard]

I've got 2 55W LED Tri-Proof Light - 6ft (1800mm) Length - IP65 - 5000K in a standard sized garage and they put out more than enough light.

Similar to https://www.novelenergylighting.com/lum ... 55ksf.html so I imagine 2 is plenty for wee shed.
If not just make sure you get ones which are daisey chainable so you've only got to run a new wire from one light to the next if you want to add more

[MrLongbeard]

Also any recommendations on a good tubalar heater to keep the chill at bay.

5 foot, 300 watt, costs about a quid a day to run, from https://www.wearetubularheaters.co.uk/s ... with-plug/
Don't expect them to warm the space up unless you're going to get 4 of 'em, but just that one keeps the damp at bay for me.

I have a 20W LED strip light either side at the front of my double garage, I find them plenty bright enough to work in the middle with power tools. Having two is probably more important than ultra bright so you don't get much shade where your are working.

I say 20W but I'm doubting that now as my fittings look exactly the same s MrLongbeard's.

You didnt use a spirit level when you built the garage, then?

Brilliant, not needed for warmth but like you, just incase

You'll need to be mindful where you mount it / them, they get bloody hot to the touch so you don't want to be brushing against it or have stuff hanging / draped over or to close above

If anyone got in to nick your bike would taking the wheel off not render that chain useless as it looks like it could be dropped out and wheel put back on? Being a garage i dare say you will supply the tools also.

If anyone got in to nick your bike would taking the wheel off not render that chain useless as it looks like it could be dropped out and wheel put back on? Being a garage i dare say you will supply the tools also.

It's a possibility, however I have stacked the deck in my favour;
1, No I wouldn't supply the tools as I don't have an imperial socket big enough to fit the spindle yet.
2, They'd also have to remove the fender, it is solid steel not plastic, but they could use my tools for that
3, They'd have to man handle a 300+ kg bike about to do it
4, I live in a low crime area
5, All 3 of my neighbours are retired and there always at last one of them in
6, 2 of 'em have outside cameras
7, If I'm away for a day or 3 there's another chain on the back wheel
8, It's alarmed
9, There's a Honda Civic parked in front of the door
10, I have a noisy gravel driveway

You pay's your money and take's your chances, and I reckon my solution is better than a small chain that would fit through the frame.
Out of all of worries that we face on a daily basis, running out of beer gets more thinking time than being concerned my bike is going walkies

Good to know, I assumed they would get to hot. I’ll have to have a think as it’s quite small abs sod it burning down

[Silly Car]

Screwfix have got LAP led battens on offer at the moment.

So……. What are my options? It’s hooked up to the mains

Also any recommendations on a good tubalar heater to keep the chill at bay.

I have a single one similar to the ones you linked and its sufficient for my 12 X 8 foot shed. As others have said the new LEDs put out a lot more light than old fashioned strip lights

If i remember i'll have a look tomorrow for the rating on it

Been having a look, screw fix do some Decent ones, so potentially going with a small 2/3ft one at the back over the work bench and a 5/6ft going down the centre of the shed
