Description

Here are some garage lighting ideas for you in our blog!

Are the fluorescent lights in your garage no giving enough light and warmth?

Have you considered LED garage lights?

Consider the best options cost, light output and power efficiency to light up a large garage

You need to take into consideration the lux (lx) needed for lighting efficiency. 400 lux should be enough for woodworking. However, you may need to go higher (up to 800 lux) for more detailed work. 9W garage LED lights come with a long life and the power output is around 112-187lm/W. you can easily get 60,000 hours lamp life (which translates into seven years nonstop) if you buy LED lighting fixtures from a reputable manufacturer. These LED tubes snugly fit into those T80 fixtures. The only downside of having LED garage lighting instead of fluorescent ones is that you probably need a technician to come over and do the job, which would add to the setup cost.

Are LED garage lights worth it?

If you compare LED with compact fluorescent, the former is the obvious winner. One great advantage of using LED lights in garage or workshop environment is that these lights turn on right when you switch them on (zero cold start issues). A single LED T8 tube gives roughly 20% more light than a T12 fluorescent tube. With fluorescent, incandescent and LED, all three being in use in American garages and shops, LED happens to be the clear winner inside. It simply means that an LED lighting fixture can light up a garage space (and a quite large one) a lot better than a fluorescent one. Opt for the warm white garage lighting fixtures (LED) and you would be good to go.

Note for garage owners, when buying LED lights from overseas manufacturers, suppliers or retailers or from s hop nearby, always look for the ‘No RFI’ label. RFI stands for Radio Frequency Interference. If a product label reads ‘No RFI’, it means that the fixture does not produce any electrical noise.
