[Shop-talk] adding to a 4-way switch circuit.

John:  I’m late to this topic, but I have info that might help you…  I too was struggling to get more light in the garage when the garage door opened. 

 

After considering a lot of options, I went with a solution that is cheap and effective!  I replaced the florescent bulb in the opener with an LED light strip that I mounted to the ceiling. Now, when the door opens I get a 16 ft long bright LED strip of light instead of the single bulb.  It’s very bright, and if you need, you can daisy-chain multiples together.

 

It looks like it is currently $16.99 on Amazon. You will also need a socket adapter so you can plug it into the light bulb socket. I think mine cost me about $3.00.  following is the link to the LEDs on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074N4YVDK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8 <https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074N4YVDK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1> &psc=1

I have 4- 8’ fluorescent fixtures in my garage that are controlled from three different doors.  I’d like to be able to do some circuit changes

so when I actuate the garage door opener it would also turn on these lights instead of the puny light in the unit.  It seems something might

be able to work using the light circuit in the opener but my head won’t wrap around a 4-way circuit and the relay/switch/hicky-thing in the opener !

 

any suggestions

 

thanks

john
