4 Post Lift Lights

[TheJDMan]

I installed a couple of LED light strips on my four post lift to illuminate the underside of the car and it turned out so well I thought I would share the project because I know some of you have lifts and might be interested. I have seen complete lift lighting kits for sale for around $400 but I purchased the component parts on Amazon and I have around $90 in the lighting project.

Here are the LED strips I used, you need two strips.

Here is the power supply I used.

I attached the LED strips to the lift with 3/4" 3M attachment tape. Here are some pictures of the lift lights so you can get an idea of the lighting effect.

How are they about shining in your eyes? I desperately need better lights for under my car when it's on my two post lift, but I've been hesitant to put any on my lift arms or columns because I was afraid of them blinding me at times as well.

Thanks for the links on the parts...

That's a great idea.

That is a really great price on that lighting. I co-own an electrical contracting business, and we specialize in custom, one off, high end residential installations. I buy and install a lot of ribbon led, and trust me, this price is stupid low. Thanks for the link.
I like what you've done with the lift lighting, by the way.

I love it!! How many feet will one power supply support?
Thanks for the idea!
