Description

A wider angle of the same first ceiling-light run lit and tested, over Bay 3 (the east/lift bay) with a car parked beneath it. Shows how the front-to-back fixture line throws light the length of a vehicle in the bay below — the rationale for the longitudinal per-bay layout (even hood-to-trunk coverage rather than cross-bands with dark gaps). Still on the extension-cord test feed at this point. The run is clip-mounted (two single-screw clips per fixture), so it pulls down easily when the ceiling gets drywalled and reinstalls just as quickly.

Visible Elements

  • Lit five-fixture LED run down the ceiling along the bay centerline
  • Red car parked in the bay directly under the run
  • Loft stairs at left; window openings showing evening daylight / greenery outside
  • Step ladder staged mid-bay
  • Unfinished shell — exposed studs and truss webs overhead
