Can I surface mount the LED shop light fixtures and control them with a wall switch for garage lighting?
I’m looking to light my garage with some high CRI light fixtures. I came across your products and feel like they are a good fit. However, I’m having trouble finding out if I can surface mount your led fixtures and control them with a wall switch. For reference, I was looking to get 6-8 of your 4ft led fixtures for a bright and cleanly lit workshop.
Though not necessarily designed for surface mounting, I can confirm that the LED shop light fixtures can be daisy-chained together, and would be compatible with an installation where the powering plug is connected to a wall switch for power. That said, they are not designed to be direct-wired, which might not be ideal for your installation.
For installations where dimming using wall controls is preferred, we might alternatively recommend utilizing our LED strip lights within mounted aluminum channels, powered by a TRIAC dimmable power supply.
I have attached diagrams of the LED strip light installation options below, in case they prove to be useful for your planning purposes.
