Description: Install lights underneath your garage door. EASY DIY Stuff I used in the video (NOT SPONSORED I bought everything) CORD REEL retractable: amzn.to/3yX21Co Light weight LED TUBE shop lights 4 pack: amzn.to/2UlDOXk Plumbers hanging tape plastic: amzn.to/37PpBF7 Thoughts: This is something I have wanted to do for years. This wasn't my original idea and was actually going to use the stick on LED strip(stuff that runs off of 12volts). I would have touching metal contacts at the top that would connect only when the door was open, powering the lights. This would have looked cleaner but would have been a ton more work and probably not nearly as bright. You could probably do this same thing without the cord reel if you had a loop of cord hanging from the ceiling and riding along one side of the garage door. It would probably only need to droop 3 foot and be snug fully closed and open. For me this would be in the way and constantly get caught up, so the cord reel was a must. Longevity of the cord reel? Just like a tape measure their life is 100x greater if you never pull them out to max length. That puts the clock spring under the most tension and wear. This is a 20ft reel that I'm only using right at 10ft so I expect years and years of life.
