4 Post Lift Lighting for Cheap ($12)

[willizm]

I picked up some cheap led lights from Ace the other day and it works perfectly to light my lift. I know quite a few other people here have 4 post lifts so consider picking these up before they are all gone at Ace for $2.99 a piece. I used 4 on the lift and they worked great.

LEDs are awesome for this application due to durability. What did you use before? Cordless lights or ?

or upc or sku. something. nothing is coming up on Ace's website for greenlite

They sell these at Costco too. Not sure on exact price but they are normally a good deal

I don't think they are on their site. I just looked and didn't see them there. I stopped at the Ace Hardware in Crete and they had them up by the registers on a pallet marked for $2.99 each.

I just used a cordless light but it was always a pain in the ass to get the right angle on what I needed to look at.

They have double sided tape on them. 3M stuff. Seems to hold well.

The ones at costco are good as well. I have those throughout the garage but I think they are $20 a pop when on sale and are something you'd want to secure to the ceiling. They are quite a bit larger and wouldn't fit well under a lift.

Does yours not have a drip/attachement rail there on the inner side of the ramp? Mine does.

Thanks. I'll swing by my Ace near the house and see if they have any. Could use some in a few places

I bought 5 and used only 2 underneath the lift it’s too many cords for me. Thanks they fit perfect and still able to use the drip trays

Glad you got them, had to share because it’s such a simple and cheap thing to do.

I don’t have that secondary lip for the drip trays. Just the bottom wide lip.

My lift also has a wide bottom lip only. I replaced all my lights today in my garage I had fluorescent lights up with the same length and 2 bulbs each light. I went back and bought 2 more packs. Lol 2 under the lift and 5 in my garage. All for $21 thanks willizm really appreciate it

No problem my man, glad it helped some folks here before they run out of those lights.

I may still try it (just haven't been over to Ace yet). I just fear that that rail on mine will block some light.

for $3 it's worth the try. If they don't work for your lift then you can always find another use for them.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

That was my thought exactly.

Bought the last 4 of these at my local ace last night. No idea where I will use them as I already have 9 LED fixtures in the garage already but for how cheap they are why not lol

No problem, are you using them on a lift or just in the garage for overhead lighting?
