Garage Lighting

Frequently Asked Questions About Garage Lighting

Why are LED garage lights better than fluorescent or incandescent lights? +

LED garage lights offer higher brightness, longer lifespans (up to 50,000 hours), and up to 75% energy savings. They also start instantly, withstand temperature changes, and are more eco-friendly, making them ideal for both residential and commercial garages.

What color temperature is best for a garage? +

For task-heavy spaces like garages, cool white (5000K–6500K) is best as it provides bright, daylight-like clarity. If your garage doubles as a lounge or hobby space, neutral white (4000K) offers a softer yet functional glow.

How many lumens do I need for proper garage lighting? +

A general rule is 50–75 lumens per square foot for standard use and 200–300 lumens per square foot for detailed tasks. For example, a 400 sq. ft. garage may need 20,000–30,000 lumens for balanced illumination.

Are LED garage lights easy to install? +

Yes. Most LED garage lights come with simple mounting hardware and plug-and-play designs. Basic DIY skills are enough, but for complex wiring or multiple fixtures, hiring a licensed electrician is safer.

Can I connect multiple LED garage lights together? +

Yes. Many LED integrated tubes and shop lights support daisy-chaining, allowing multiple fixtures to connect end-to-end for uniform lighting across large garages without additional wiring.
