Garage Door Opener - ADJUSTABLE LED LIGHT HACK 💡💡💡

There is no such thing as too much light in your garage. In this video, I walk you through the steps of connecting an adjustable (deformable) Beyond Bright Garage LED light to your garage door opener. When this project is complete, all you have to do is hit that garage door remote button and light up the night! This project is simple, affordable, and clearly will get the job done....

Thank you for this video! The short and rigid extender was unappealing to me, so I found a 6.6 FT E26 socket extender on Amazon that uses a cord instead of a metal conduit and hung my LED from the ceiling. Now I can see in the garage when the door opens! Thank you once again for sharing your innovative improvement.

Garage door tech here. You will have interference issues because of the radio frequency. This can also damage your circuit board and any tech worth their salt, will know this is the damage cause. That makes you have NO warranty and are back out the money of a new opener.

Timings of this video couldn't be more right for me. Thank You.

Did it tonight on a craftsman belt drive, worked great! Good idea, much brighter now!

Thanks for posting. I just put two LED tri-lights in the back of the garage, replacing the floods. I'd like more light in the front and this gets rid of that pathetic corkscrew light! Perfect!!

This literally saved my life. Well done and simple. Thanks.

As a garage installer, by profession, I must put out there that putting LED lights by your garage opener can sometimes interfere with the communication with your wireless remotes both in your vehicle and the exterior keypads. It is a great idea and may not effect ALL openers, but I personally have encountered the issue where the customer installed LED lights and immediately good remotes barely work outside of the garage. But KUDOS on the ingenuity.

I remodeled my double-garage 6months ago and did this hack on both my 20 year old Sears Craftsman openers and WOW just lovin the output.

I just bought one for my basement and let me tell you, they are bright. Very nice.

I hv genie and they hv led 2 point connection for their special led bulb.
N[t regular one like yours. Can we get extension for that too?

Awesome, I was literlly going to brighten up my mother-in-laws garage until I saw this. Never new this extension existed. Just ordered two. Thanks for the video.

*Cool light extension thingy, but I wonder if using that, would place the LED further from the opener to get rid of the interference and range issue I have*

I like your idea. I bought a set of two of those LED lights. I put one up in the middle of the garage ceiling and the other one has been sitting in the box. Now I can use both of them. 👍🏼😀

Can you use a dimmer with it if it doesnt say anything about it?
I got 3 pannel 45w, looking to buy a a cord with a portable base dont know if to buy the on off switch or the dimmer switch?

I just did this upgrade using the light extension linked in your description. It was very simple and is a huge improvement. Thanks for posting this.

The LED's can interfear with the remote control frequency signal, it did on mine. Good idea if you if it works.

[JefferLin]

Thanks for the video. How do you program to have the light stay on for extended use?

I'm curious if this held up. My garage door opener says it will support up to a 100W bulb. The extender you used supports up to a 100W bulb. I currently have a similar problem, except the fixture is too close to the chain. I have a 4 panel bulb in there right now that is 1000W equivalent and pulls 145W. I was looking for a solution when I cam upon your video. I'm currently on the search for a similar gooseneck that can support a higher wattage.

Do some experimenting with LED bulbs because they can screw up the signal of your garage door opener and sometimes it won't work when the lights are on. I had a problem with mine after installing LED bulbs in the opener. I had no range from the automotive button. I had to be right in front of the garage for the opener to work. Before with the old bulbs in the opener, the signal work work coming up the driveway.
