  • I have stripped and rebuilt bikes just by the light of my Lezyne Macro Drive pointed at the white ceiling of my shed, I would much prefer a 240v light but will see how this LED strip works out. It will mostly be for locking the bike up in the evening. I too run an extension lead out to my shed if I need power but I find it a faff. Doubt I could run permanent mains as it would need to cross a technically shared path.

  • Those strips look pretty bright on the picture. I might get something like that in addition to proper lights for soldering / small detail stuff.

    I'd like to have proper power in mine too. I may do it at some point, but it's a really small shed (6x6) and I've not put the bikes back in yet. I want to see if I can fit them in there and still move about before I get too over the top about turning it into a garden workshop - I caught myself researching dust-collection last night, which might be a little ambitious...

  • Mine is 8x6, when there was one bike in there I could still set up the work stand. Haven't tried that now I have 3. I built a deck around the shed to do dusty work outside. If you had power and a reasonable compact shop vac, you could use the hoover hose type attachments for power tools. Just don't use it to collect metal shavings if it is already full of wood dust. Hot metal and super-kindling is not a good idea.
