Equipping our Farm Shop with 560,000 Lumens

Equipping our Farm Shop with 560,000 Lumens - 7X More Light!

Maand geleden

You never realize how bad something is until you upgrade. We do a tremendous amount of work in our shop and whether we are turning wrenches or filming, poor lighting was an issue. Cameras do not like dark, it is difficult to capture quality video without sufficient light. It was time to upgrade.
Need your shop lit? Northwest Lighting Systems has a solution. They've been in business since 1991: nwlightingmn.com/
We used Keystone High Bay Fixtures: keystonetech.com/all-products/led-high-bay/

Conner Thorburn Maand geleden

Hi there we have a case 210 puma and I was just wondering have you had any experience with this tractor as we are having a few problems with it dropping in tk nitrile and tacking off down a hill when feeding out grass silage. I really love the videos that you mack thanks.

Brandon Wunderlich Maand geleden

Sorry for your loss

Roger Horton Maand geleden

Your horse shoes are up side down, put the opening up to catch the luck. Thanks,,,PS sorry for your loss.

s imperous Maand geleden

I’ve replaced 2 complete installs of leds in 2 shops in 5 years. Leds have a nasty habit of dying completely, without warning. So plan on buying several extra if you’re installing leds.

William Gilroy Maand geleden

Foot candles.

Curtis Thompson Maand geleden

We just got new LED’s to replace the old halogens in our potato packing warehouse. It changes everything, best upgrade money can buy

tim stroh Maand geleden

Hay Scott sorry to hear about your loss=== our prayers are with you!!! keep your family strong!!

Joe Vreeland Maand geleden

LEDs strobe and using them over rotating machines - lathes, drill presses, etc., can make you think they are standing still. US Navy forbids strobing lighting to be used off one generator so the whole compartment lighting on a single cyclic feed won't make the workspace dangerous. The answer? There are RF Driven LEDs to be strategically installed will kill the strobing effect. You only need a couple in critical areas to break the strobing. Be careful.

fullers1966 Maand geleden

What's all that light now you will have to start wearing makeup to get rid of the shine hahaha

iPANZERSCHRECKu Maand geleden

who shrunk legarms? or was he standing in a hole

fredthefree Maand geleden

Love to you and your family, losing a family member is never easy.

Quad Vloggs Maand geleden

I'm extremely sorry to hear about your father man I absolutely hate when people lose family members hopefully you can find peace

Jason G Maand geleden

You mention antelope. Ive never harvested one because I have always heard they taste horrible. Then some guys say it is better then whitetail. Which is it. Good or bad. Are there tricks to avoid a bad tasting one?

Jason G Maand geleden

@Robert Welker Im in western SD. Lots of sage brush and bad water. Thinking I will stick with my Whitetails. Thanks Mr. Welker.

Robert Welker Maand geleden

The antelope around here is less game'y. No sage brush

Travis Clapper Maand geleden

Miss you being in the show mister.

Travis Clapper Maand geleden

Sorry for your loss leg arms, my condolences, that sucks. At least he's in a better place.

Rusty Nail Maand geleden

Just catching up, a couple days late. Legarms, I am sorry to hear about your and your family’s loss. I lost my dad passed in 2003 to cancer. I have always said that the ones that leave us early become the welcoming party for the next to go. There are many good folks up there greeting those who leave us.

Sorry for your loss Scott, God bless you and your family

Cedric Broussard Maand geleden

It made a big difference awesome!!!

Will B Maand geleden

Sincere condolences to you and the wife for the loss. He certainly gave it a good fight. Not exactly a happy ending, but it was as good as it could get in the circumstance. Great that you all got that time.

Brad Taylor Maand geleden

Now you need a high velocity exhaust fan to suck out those noxious diesel fumes. Now you will see all the dirt.

Nathan Gurney Maand geleden

I'm sorry to hear that

Slim Jim in MN Maand geleden

Fyi: plural of foot candle is foot candles ie: 150 foot candles.

Jim's LandScape LLC # 1 Maand geleden

Sorry to hear about ur loss but hes in a better place god 🙏❤ bless you and your family

Morgan Sedge Maand geleden

Yeah Nick out here we use lumens the power that a led chucks out (instead of candles) and we use kleins for the led color. Example 4000k is natural white and 6000k is bright white slightly bluish....

Daniel Bremner Maand geleden

Thank you for the enlightening video!

Denny Perry Maand geleden

Sorry for your loss

Kirt Hedquist Maand geleden

Legarms needs to learn the finger snap! And the #millernialfarmer needs some of those lights, it would make him look brighter

J A P R Maand geleden

American units keep surprising me... Feet candles lmao reliable unit

Hals Bakkan Maand geleden

Im from Denmark living in northern Norway in the midnight sun in the summer. I worked hard for 7,5 years on my education to be an electrician engineer. It's an "easy" education ecomically, because it's allways easy to earn 500 bucks when you need it, because is was an electrician first :-) I am one of the very few with long educations with 35+ years of experience is 90% in the field and the rest of time teaching youngsters how to use a tool and why. There is a hairfine difference between good light and good light with armatures placed nicely for the same price!! As a customer you walk in the shop in good lighting....... and 2 misplaced lamps destroys perfect. Not a problem but when you see it. you will notice for many years. In the 4 man company i work with we notice details all the time since we are proud to be electricians regardless of our education. And if you want safety: Do it the european way! But you don't give shit til it hurts. I know that!

Octane Tech Maand geleden

Sorry to hear of your loss leg arms best wishes to you and family. at 8:04 you can really notice the difference in the lights tho

Damon Coates Maand geleden

So bright you can see color in your eyes better. Those lights are amazing.

Zeke ‘n’ Streak Maand geleden

My condolences to you & the fam Scott.

Phil Hosier Maand geleden

Condolences from Phil & Cindy from AZ. to Leg Arms & family.

Phil Hosier Maand geleden

The overhead doors inside the building looking pretty grungy ! Powerwash, paint of refinish them for a better looking shop !

Jared Carmichael Maand geleden

First and foremost, my condolences Leg Arms. I actually live outside of Buffalo and I hope you had some time to visit Letchworth State Park which is a bit different than the landscape in Montana.

Robert Palmore Maand geleden

"lighting is key" is that where the term "key light" comes from? You think that's a disaster? I'm in the middle of moving and trying to fix things and make bullets for friends and family, that gets to be a disaster. I'm making some LED light panels. They aren't as nice as keystone's but a lot less expensive. Painted plywood, LED strip stuck to it with double sided tape and the power supply attached to the back. Would the same over kill lighting be good for the mill? Maybe just cantilever off your frame? Worked in a machine shop that had lighting like your shop had or worse and damned it was hard to see what you were doing.

John Kreun Maand geleden

Just started to watch your channel Love you work and keep it up John Australia

Robert Welker Maand geleden

Thanks John. Glad to have you with us 👍

Jason Swift Maand geleden

Nice upgrade but its not 560,000 lumens and each of those light units are NOT 28,000lumens each.

Terry Arnold Maand geleden

Nice job guys, looking good. Now I'm going to have to relight my garage!

Mark Hayhurst Maand geleden

...and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes

Bill Rice Maand geleden

Paint the floors white aircraft hangers do it all the time get your money's worth out of the light

Kevin J Maand geleden

Nick will need to take 5 minutes for "makeup" The better lighting will show the wrinkles! 😀

Linden Hawthorn Maand geleden

Be interesting how much the electric bill goes up. Hopefully, the meter doesn't start smoking out on the pole🤪

Glen Anderson Maand geleden

Good to add more light. You boys aren't getting any younger.

Dyno Mow Maand geleden

Blessings and prayers for your family in your loss, and, the lighting looks great. I now know how much I need more lighting in the shop!

Cody Van Dieren Maand geleden

The new lights provide more energy savings than the previous ones?

Chip Burns Maand geleden

LED lighting is point-source light which means it can and will damage your retina. Have fun

Jeff Kizer Maand geleden

Prayers to you Scott and your wife , and her family !

B C Maand geleden

We use sunlight in our shop. It's free.

Mark Arnott Maand geleden

Maybe cost more setting up in general but solar & 12vlt Led lights . 💡 * Even just using the 12vlt step downs for Leds 1st up be a saving 30% savings overtime just looked up in Google -> T8 Fluorescent Led tubes 4000-6000k lunmens cheep

Charles Kawski Maand geleden

I rebuild industrial sized lathes and mills for a living and the way you just moved those two turned my stomach.

Jerry Taylor Maand geleden

Sorry to hear about in laws. What was his name, I live and farm in the Buffalo area!!

Patrick Morgan Maand geleden

Sad news but it sounds like he put up a good fight. May he Rest In Peace.

Kevin Coop Maand geleden

Just so you know. The plural of a footcandle is footcandles. I hope they did not sell you 5000 or 6000 kelvin lights. They are high in blue light. Blue light damages your eyes if you spend a lot of time in it. Do internet search “eye damage from blue light”. If they did sell you those, always wear amber safety glasses. They block blue light! In the lathe area, if you can, turn one light upside down so it does not have the cave effect. Respectfully, Kevin

Kostas Kotoulas Maand geleden

My condolences Scott. My momma battled cancer for seven years so I know this war.

Vern Burke Maand geleden

The Greater North American Legarms, back in his natural habitat :)

10:20 - Your floor is now brighter than your ceiling used to be.

hibiki54 Maand geleden

You guys need a bigger engine lathe and mill.

Michael Russell Maand geleden

Welkers can now see the mess much better now :D

Terry Gorgichuk Maand geleden

Good Morning: Fellows I hope you have checked out the Human Lumens (factor) . It is known that the wrong type of Lumens in an enclosed building can be harmful to human health. Hopefully you used LED lighting. As with a fellow that I know, after two years of working in the shop with his new lighting, his wife found him doing the chicken on the shop floor. Seizure caused by lighting. Just saying that I have seen this first hand.

Peter Reid Maand geleden

Great to see you back Scott, sorry about your father in law seems he had long battle with his illness

UncleManuel Maand geleden

"We will light you up!" I slowly have the feeling every company guy that does stuff on the Welker farm gets a crash course in puns... 😁😁😁🤪

Bryant Fry Maand geleden

If you get some used kitchen cabinets, you could hide some of that clutter, and get more organized.

Bryant Fry Maand geleden

I was fortunate to get some led lights at the scrap yard. They were 24v, which is the same as my solar power, and they were very bright. I also got some LED strip lights, and they will work well In other areas, too.
