I need to upsize the plant cart. The current cart is undersized so I will replace it with a very large wire shelving unit.

## Overview
I use cable ties to affix the shop lights to the underside of the wire shelves. There are now three light units: 
- 4 ft shop light (2)
- 2 ft shop light

The 2 ft shop light was meant for the old smaller plant cart. New lights are 4 ft long, matching the length of the shelving unit.The lights are powered by a power strip with a 6 ft cord. It is attached to the side of the wire shelf with yet more cable ties. I also removed the overhead EMT conduit-mounted spotlights since they have been replaced by a shop light. It is a cleaner look.
