SURFACE MOUNT OR SUSPENSION MOUNT?

As discussed above, the surface mount is good for ambient lighting only.


Once you have mapped out the specific types of lights you need, you are good to go with installation. There are lights that you can mount on the ceilings or have hunged with hooks. 


If woodwork or car repairing is the most you do in the workshop, you would like to avoid shadows, dark spots, or light spills. For this case, hanging or suspended ceiling lights are the best. Most of these lights come with hooks through which the lights can hang via chains. 



Note- Just make sure that the suspended lights are fastened safely and tightly for safety precautions. 


FOR CEILING MOUNTED FIXTURES

Better hire an electrician you had not planned on the layout yet. It gets quite complicated with wall mount, as it involves connecting junction boxes, PVCs, and a lot of other stuff. 


LAYOUT FOR SUSPENDED MOUNT


 


Hammer the nails into the wooden joists of the ceilings, up to 1 inch deep. Two nails should be placed at lengths equal to the distance between the suspension slots of the LED fixture. 


Keep in mind that connectors also have to connect between two successive fixtures, so leave a gap equal to the length of the connector plus a margin of 2 inches.


ASSEMBLE LED SHOP LIGHTS (Hanging or suspended mount)


Most of the lights come pre-assembled these days. They are power inlets at each end of the light. Connect the power cord to the power terminal for power input. 


If you are planning out a daisy chain, just insert the linking cable into the other end of the light. 


Each light comes with two slots at the end, for hook insertions. The hook is attached to one end of the suspension chain. All you need to do is to insert the hook into the slots. 


FINAL STEP

Now hang the lights and make sure that your first light should be close to the power source. One by one, connect the other light with the previous one with the connector.
