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.
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.
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.
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!!
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.
Matthew Craig I was gonna say the same thing but now I don’t have to. I put a higher lumen led bulb in my opener and the door wouldn’t close when I used the remote. I thought oh no I guess my opener went bad. Then thought well the problem didn’t start until I changed the bulbs so put the old bulb back in and was glad I didn’t need a new opener. Now they make leds specifically for openers so I put a couple of those in and now no problem.
I just installed new genie openers to replace ~4 year old chamberlains with myQ that refused to work with feit led bulbs. The genies have at least 400’ range with the same bulbs, so I don’t know what the difference is but I have no complaints with my genies.
@@Kitearmy It's a flaw in the Liftmaster boards, it causes an excessive power draw through a resistor near the receiver part of the board which reduces the range it can pickup a remote from.
Hello, all my friends. Now, the garage lights just need $12.99/pc and can use 10% coupons on Amazon. Welcome to order on our Amazon store. Order link:www.amazon.com/dp/B0825YD18H?ref=myi_title_dp Really big promotion sales.
Thank you so much for this inspirational video. After 3 years, my husband was finally inspired to change the broken lightbulb in our garage. We must coordinate future projects.
This is a genius idea. Gonna be installing my opener soon and i wanted a way to tie an existing led shop light to it so I didn't have to run another switch. Thanks for the great video.
Timing is everything! Last night I was thinking about splicing the wing light into the garage door circuit. GREAT vid, as entertaining as informative. Definitely subscribe.
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. 👍🏼😀
Nice video and thanks for the information. I actually put one of these LED lights in my attic for more lighting after the HVAC service guy kept telling me that there wasn't enough light (our main unit is in the attic).
I did this in my garage but I used an adapter in the light socket to plug in an extension cord. I then used two four foot LED lights spaced out in the garage. It really lights it up.
Sounds great. I think my garage door opener wall control has a button for the light. Auto on when i user the opener or manually turn on when I'm in the garage.
I'm a little late to the table, but watched your video the other day, ordered the components that day, package arrived today and I installed. This works great. Thank you for the video!
Came here for something EXACTLY like this. The back of my garage is nice and bright, the front half sucks, precisely because of my garage door opener. :-)
Loved this and I have installed them in my garage. What a difference! Super video and I highly recommend this simple improvement to any garage. The only thing Im concerned about is that it does not interfere with the garage remote like some LEDS do. So far Ive had zero issues with interference but I have awesome light in the garage now.
Moment I started watching this I thought, one of those adapters that screws into lightbulb socket, with an outlet plug. Then get one (or more) of those cheap, ceramic wall/ceiling mount hardwire lightbulb sockets. Then just take an old extension cord or one of those things you can useto replace the plug on an appliance if it breaks. Now you can mount the light where you want and it'll stay put.
LED lights will eventually interfere with the RF on the receiver. You can loose range. Sometimes it does it right away some times it takes a while but I see this problem all the time
If you start having issues with range or responsiveness on your garage door remote, it's because LEDs can cause radio interference in a lot of the older opener models.
The security+ 2.0 liftmasters have been out for almost a decade now, they aren't necessarily new. I do doors in an industrial setting at this point, and I'm not super up on the current state of the residential operators. The main manufacturers have known about this issue for quite some time now.
They came out in like 2011 or 12, which is pretty on par with the previous boards that had about a 10 year production run. I would imagine they're due for an upgrade that addresses the interference issue.
I just put a couple of the paddle style LED lights in the garage, in regular ceiling sockets, but they work off a wall switch. I like the idea of one dead center off the opener as well - then I'd have 3 and the garage with the white walls and ceiling could probly be seen from Mars LOL - great vid!
Well what I did was use a screw in socket for the garage door opener that takes a regular 110 plug. I used a long extention cord reaching to the back of the garage then mounted 2 electrical work boxes with light fixtures. The bulbs were 60 watt (DAYLIGHT) LED's. So now when backing in the vehicle it's easier to see at night. The extention cord was good enough as I was going to use 14 guage romex but like I said, the heavy duty extention cord worked just fine.
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.
I installed 6000k Barrina LED 48" light strips in the ceiling perimeter of my entire garage and connected them to my garage door opener! It's so bright I light up my drive way at night!
I did this a few months ago but I had a plug that screwed into a socket. So had to use a plug in socket. Your way was much neater. Great minds think alike!😂👍
I use LED bulb on my Liftmaster that has yellow antenna and yellow learn button for almost two years now. So far, I don't have any issue for using LED bulb, my garage isn't bright enough whenever I get off my car. I'm excited to give this a shot!
Great idea! I was fortunate my boss let me have 4 4 feet fluorescent lights! Each had 4 bulbs already in them so I got a friend who happens to be a contractor to hook them up. Man they look so professional and my garage is so light up now. Had I not been so fortunate I would have done it your way. Great video
I did that the day I got the first craftsman and think that was before youtube was invented LOL, I am about o do another hack on these types of garage led lights again
If one is that bright, two has to be sunscreen-required. This was excellent! I just ordered the stuff. I'll see how one does, and may order one for the second socket. Thank you very much!
We've done about 15 service calls last year because of frequency issues with those lights. (Small% w1000's of them that are working as they should) Walk in the garage unscrewed from the socket. Remote work again as they should.
I’ve been looking for this solution for a year. Not for the garage opener , but my light socket is on the wall, not the ceiling. I had bought one of these led lights when you could only get them online, for my former garage ,and it lit up that garage great. That garage had finished walls , ceiling, and was painted. My current 50 year old garage , is more dungeon like and need some work.Warning on these fixtures, don’t look towards the light before you turn it on. I had no idea I was doing this until bought this light. It will cause short term blindness🤣😎
*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 did this exact set up with my 3/4 hp craftsman garage door opener. The remote clickers didnt work very well after that. I did extend the antenna to outside the door. I have read that the frequency signal can be affected by certain lights. I am still trying to sort out this setup. The lights are great.
@@siddharthgolchha I used the brightest LED lights in their original position in the opener. I couldn't solve the door opening issue with the clickers. I used the adjustable LED lights in the attic above the garage. They didn't seem compatible with my opener.
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.
2 questions.... the link to the led light is for a 3 light not a 4 as you used. The gooseneck is rated for 100w, but you said your led light is 120 watts.
I have a genie like the one shown in the video and there is a wall mounted pad available that allows you to turn on the light, lock the whole thing down, as well as open the garage door too. If you have a different brand, a wall switch similar to this may be available.
Be careful when choosing these LED lights in your garage. I installed two of them in my garage and loved how bright they where. But keep in mind that some of these LED lights will emit a signal and drastically reduce your transmitter range due to interference. And that’s exactly what happened to mine.
You are 100% correct. I own a garage door company and have been working on doors and motors for years.... just stick with normal halogens and hang some shop lights if lighting is an issue
@@Kitearmy Mine aren’t even connected to the garage door opener. They are screwed into the garage light sockets. My garage door opener doesn’t even have a working bulb in it.
@@paula9170 Tesla charges will even do it, all the way to some wall mounted in my experience. It took forever for me to find out the Tesla caused the issues at my customers. Genie 3120 thrown up after.
They sell these with motion sensors built in. I have one in the garage door opener circuit with motion. And two more that are switchable on the wall. Any movement in the garage and the light comes on. We love them!
That gooseneck is great. I've never seen that before. Could possibly be used in other projects. Thank You for posting the video and links to the items.
BTW, the link for the lamp takes you to a page with pictures of the lights, and the normal thumbnails down the side, but says the product is: 2 Pack Wireless Lavalier Microphone for iPhone, iPad Professional Lapel Microphone with Noise Reduction And they don't know when it will be in stock... Never seen that on an Amazon page before, but these would be MASSIVE lav mics.
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 accidentally posted under someone else’s comment once but I copy and pasted my response and reposted it. It actually only effects the newer LiftMaster operators roughly 2012 and newer because of the added rolling code frequency that rolls to a more narrow frequency. Where the problem occurs is an led bulb sends off a small frequency back into the wire when hooked directly to the operator. That’s why it doesn’t effect a genie because the frequency is more common 1 in a million not 1 in a billion. I also am not understanding the scam part I’m a local business owner and don’t charge people ever for this problem. I can usually explain it over the phone for free but even when I show up and that’s the problem I take the bulb out and leave my card because every garage door breaks at some point. I install LiftMaster and right on the manual and the operator it says do not use an led bulb it will affect the remote controls range. So much for my scam because I’m not making any money on this at all I was just trying to inform you of the fact. Fact is if I had your operator I would probably do the same thing.
I do not have a garage, I enjoyed your video, I adore your sense of humor -

2 questions.... the link to the led light is for a 3 light not a 4 as you used.
The gooseneck is rated for 100w, but you said your led light is 120 watts.
It doesn't draw 120w, the light output is equivalent to a 120w incadessant bulb. LEDs draw a fraction of that.
Thanks for the video. How do you program to have the light stay on for extended use?
I have a genie like the one shown in the video and there is a wall mounted pad available that allows you to turn on the light, lock the whole thing down, as well as open the garage door too. If you have a different brand, a wall switch similar to this may be available.

BTW, the link for the lamp takes you to a page with pictures of the lights, and the normal thumbnails down the side, but says the product is: 2 Pack Wireless Lavalier Microphone for iPhone, iPad Professional Lapel Microphone with Noise Reduction
And they don't know when it will be in stock... Never seen that on an Amazon page before, but these would be MASSIVE lav mics.
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?
DUDE, you win, you can never have enough lighting in the garage.
winner winner - chicken dinner
Helpful. Thanks!
You're welcome!
I accidentally posted under someone else’s comment once but I copy and pasted my response and reposted it. It actually only effects the newer LiftMaster operators roughly 2012 and newer because of the added rolling code frequency that rolls to a more narrow frequency. Where the problem occurs is an led bulb sends off a small frequency back into the wire when hooked directly to the operator. That’s why it doesn’t effect a genie because the frequency is more common 1 in a million not 1 in a billion. I also am not understanding the scam part I’m a local business owner and don’t charge people ever for this problem. I can usually explain it over the phone for free but even when I show up and that’s the problem I take the bulb out and leave my card because every garage door breaks at some point. I install LiftMaster and right on the manual and the operator it says do not use an led bulb it will affect the remote controls range. So much for my scam because I’m not making any money on this at all I was just trying to inform you of the fact. Fact is if I had your operator I would probably do the same thing.
I wonder if this actually reduces that problem because it is not installed in the unit
