The Best Garage Lighting! ⚡️ LED Hexagonal Grid Honeycomb Lights | Tesla Garage Setup Install

If you want to transform the way your garage looks, you might want to check out these LED honeycomb style ceiling lights. I could not be happier with how they turned out and to see the improvement of lighting in my garage. These plug and play light tubes output a whopping 60,000 lumens with a color temperature of 6,500 kelvins that translates into a natural looking, white light that works great for a garage, a shop, or even your basement. These lights are also waterproof and suitable to work in a wet environment.

Not only do these Hexagon grid lights provide more light output but also help save on energy cost, as these are 100% LEDs. They are also great if you live in a cold climate or have an unheated garage. LED’s do not need time to heat up, therefore in comparison to incandescent tube lights which are dim under cold conditions, these LEDs become bright immediately, producing consistent, energy- efficient light in very cold temperatures.

When first opening the box you’ll notice some zip ties if you were to install this on a wooden or wired ceiling structure. In this case I will be drilling these directly to the ceiling and will not need them. The kit comes with all the lights needed to form the entire honeycomb light fixture as they all connect to one another to form a hexagon. These connector points will be drilled into the ceiling through this small hole on the side. Each connector has these drill holes equipped. Finally you will notice 3 power cords that will connect on both ends of the honeycomb lighting and also one for the rectangular light piece. You can see from this diagram where the power cords need to be connected. Note you must follow this power source location, plugging in two power cords on the same side of the hex lightening may cause a short and burn out the entire set. Two power sources must be connected on the opposite sides of the light kit and also one on the rectangular section around the hex lights. So in total 3, 120v plugs for each light kit. Installing 1 kit will work on a 15amp breaker, however installing two kits will require a 20 amp breaker. I’m not a certified electrician and if you do not feel comfortable installing these yourself, a professional is always recommended, especially when handling electricity.
As we need 3 individual power sources for this light kit as I mentioned earlier.

Once we reach one end simply add your 90 degree connector to install two lights down the short end of the rectangle. At this point I’m only installing one light at a time to prevent any damage to the hanging lights. Keep repeating the process until you have formed the first shape of your light kit. One problem I ran into, is when I reached the end I was short a few inches from reaching the connector we had first installed. I had to unscrew the connector and move it more to the left to finally make the entire connection. This; however, caused my rectangle to be out of shape and crooked. I had to go back and remove the screws on one end of the light set to straighten out the top section of the rectangle. After I fixed this issue, you can see I’ll have to patch some holes with drywall puddy and repair part of the ceiling. Again, if you are not certain about electricity, please do not do this yourself.. Hire a professional electrician. After getting all my connections and power cord in place, I flipped on my original switch and wallah! Just this rectangular light fixture alone already boosted the look of my garage not to mention how much brighter it is. After confirming this has worked, I went ahead and disconnected my wires and drilled a hole into my ceiling to insert the power cord into the attic for later connection. I’ll get those screw holes patched up later and repaint that section.

What do you think, let me know in the comments below. I have links below this video showing you everything I used to install these myself. As always if you have any questions, be sure to let me know in the comments and I’d be happy to get back to you. Until the next video, stay safe and I’ll catch you on the next one.

Appreciate you showing the flaws in the install. We all have these moments and you probably saved a bunch of people a whole lot of time. Looks great as well

[mitchellbarnow]

I really enjoyed this install Evan! It was wise to recommend to people to hire an electrician if they are not comfortable with any aspects of this installation. I was really happy to see your expansion tank connected to the cold water line at your water heater. I installed one myself which really kept the water pressure from going up too high from the expansion that occurs when the water heater has been running for a while. Thank you so much for another unique video that is not just like all of the rest of the Tesla YouTubers.

[dirko]

Looks absolutely spectacular Evan - definitely worth every minute you‘ve spend on it. Thank you so much 👍🏼

[dseibel]

I watched many Hex light DIY videos yours was the best one Thank you for showing all steps for installation.

[michaelpandolfi]

Thanks dude I never seen anything like that that would be nice for my pain an airbrushing in my garage looks awesome

[Ruberhai]

Thanks for a thorough video. One thing I wonder: Are the lights heavy? I have a plaster ceiling and it seems like an incredible amount of work to fit plaster anchors to all fixing holes.

[victorlindquist]

Hope you used some anchors with the screw. screwing the screws into sheetrock won't hold long, and lights will be on the floor one morning

[getrusty]

Great step by step on the install process. The power connectors at multiple points is very unclear in the provided instructions in my kit

[EagleKeeper]

I see that you made your electrical splice in the attic. You should absolutely make that wire splice in a sealed junction box. It’s small oversights such as this that burn down houses

[ahmedagbabiaka]

Beautiful. I’m re-doing my garage with epoxy floors and these type of lights. Do you need anchors to screw into drywall?

[deetwizzy]

Sick vid. I've just bought some for my garage. Wish me luck lol

[irvdownes]

I love this video. I’m actually doing this to my garage also!

[obawanger]

Here in Austria we are using concrete instead of plasterboard. I guess it would take about a whole day to install it 😢

[maxisalibi]

Hi friend. Great video! I'm wondering if the LED square can be turned on independently of the LED panel? Or is it the same?

[althompson]

Great detailed video! I know for sure I'm not using honeycomb lights now. Looks like a major pain in the ass!🤣

[Beastmountain]

It uses 552 Watts so I would not say it saves on energy cost. Rather the opposite if you forget to turn it off.

[ericadams]

I'm trying to find some information on these same lights but in a bigger scale a 90 by 80 grid to be exact and I need to find out some ideas but your video did help a lot thank you!!

[cosmicblooms]

I would use a square to make sure everything is square and straight

[CreatureGrips]

Do you have to hook them up in the pattern they give you or is there flexibility to male your own pattern

[andrewmelendez]

Hi, would you consider going into more detail with a video on how you set up the wiring?
