Budget Pole Barn Lighting: Embrace Your Inner Hillbilly!

Runs like clockwork. I was looking for a way to provide decent overhead lighting for a 30 x 40 foot barn that was not yet connected to the mains on a tight budget. I have used this filament in combination with 6 of these Maxxima bulb connectors for LED, CFL and standard bulbs. 3 and 2 pack of these Fancierstudio 4 4-Way Splitters 4-in-1 Socket Adapter Adapter Holder E27 Bulb Photo Light Bulb Splitter Studio By Fancierstudio 6801 Then load them all with 65W BR30 LED Spotlights TCP LBR301050KND6 LED BR30 – Daylight Spotlight Output 65 W (5000 K ) - 6 pcs. Plastic cells on a light thread are easy to remove. Hang cable and socket hangers with screw-in hooks. The trusses are about 13 feet off the ground. There are a total of 21 8.5W LED spotlights per string = just under 180W to illuminate the entire barn almost as brightly as during the day! I wasn't sure if everything would work out as I had hoped, but it exceeded my expectations. Okay I just went back to the barn in 15 degree weather just to turn on the light, look at them again and be amazed at how much better they looked than I imagined.

Pros
  • Regular price
Cons
  • Not bad
