Had minimal clearance between these overhead shelves and the garage door, and the perfect light spacing was a few inches away from the cross bars. So I designed these snap fit brackets to offset the lights inline.

The lights make a huge difference, much more pleasant to work in the garage.

What I learned:

  • there is some sag because the screws aren’t at the top of the bracket. I would add a tab that protrudes on the side so I could add a screw higher.
  • the screw face split on layer lines on a few of these. Still works but not perfect, so I would make the screw face thicker.

Also printed cable management clips
