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

One failed during install, but they refunded the cost of one light. I ended up using 8 for my garage instead of 10, and it's still exceptionally bright. It almost hurts going in there at night.
Managed to fix the busted light with some soldering anyway.

Looks fantastic! Thanks for sharing links to all the bits!
