I just put these in my sugarhouse, got them off Amazon, waterproof LEDs 4’ long and had them installed in about an hour.

These have been working great so far. At $20 a pop they are hard to beat. I only have them mounted temporarily while I remodel the sugarhouse but have been more than please. Plus I still have two more to add, and as mentioned, shadows and dark corns are no fun.

took me a little while to choose what i wanted for lighting. I didnt want traditional lights, nor did i want to be able to see any wiring. This is what i came up with.

These are a little hard to see since they are lit up in the pictures, but I wanted an old timey look and went with a barn style ceiling light. I have 8 of them with LED Bulbs in my 16'x24' shack, and they light it up nicely. I think they were $25 each on sale.

We went with 8' shop light fixtures setup to use 4 4' bulbs. They helped keep the bulbs in line and easier to hand for us. If 4' shop light fixtures work better you can use those.

Then head over to Amazon and get these bulbs:

These bulbs are great. We used them in our evaporator area and kitchen. I also have them in my shop in my garage. However if you seek high bay lights you have another option, which was an awesome deal in VT and NH using rebates.

This is similar to what I used in the garage area of the sugarhouse and my repair area of my garage and can recommend them:

I just put one of these in my basement and they are great. Thinking about putting a couple in my sugar house. You can direct the light to where needed.

I got them at LampsPlus (https://www.lampsplus.com/products/u...ht__4j462.html) ... but they don't look to be on sale right now. Like I mentioned, I paid only $25 each for them.

Craig those look great in there. I would have to say about the best looking light fixture for the style you are trying to get in there. Great job on it!

Thanks... I definitely got carried away a bit with the building process and aesthetics... but it's been fun, and very excited to start boiling in a week or two!
