Garage Lighting Ideas

Garage Lighting

The garage is one of the most versatile spaces in your home. You can use it to park your vehicles and even make it your workspace.

That’s why lighting is essential to ensuring your garage is functional.

Have you ever tried backing your vehicle into a poorly lit garage? One wrong move can result in a scratch or, worse, a dent!

Working on your projects can also be daunting without proper lighting. And if anything, it can be damaging to your eyes. 

With these simple, yet awesome lighting ideas, we’ll help bring your garage to life from day to night.

Use a suspended LED fixture for functional lighting

A suspended lighting fixture is perfect for a garage with a high ceiling. Because the light is not directly fixed into the ceiling, it is easier to replace and maintain.

Not to mention, the placing of the fixture allows light to reach even the lowest corners of your space.

There are tons of suspended lighting designs that you can choose from, giving you control over the overall ambiance of your garage.

Recess lighting into a drywall garage ceiling

Do you have recessed lighting in your home? Then why not have them in your garage as well?

Recessed lighting provides proper visibility while saving you tons of headspace, gives your garage a modern look, and can be used to highlight specific areas, such as tools, workstations, or vehicles.

Light up shelving racks in your garage

LED highlights are perfect for lighting up shelving racks in your garage. They are durable, provide ample visibility, are aesthetic, and can be controlled.

You can use different types or colors of lights for different racks to guide you where to look for certain tools—whether recessed, suspended, or LED strips.

Install bright fixtures over work areas

It is important to keep work areas illuminated to ensure 100% visibility while you’re working on your projects. 

Wall lights are perfect for this functionality as they can be placed within eye level for maximum visibility and fewer shadows.

Suspended lights can also do the job. Just make sure you have several in one area so they cancel out the shadows they produce.

Use Hexagon Lights for Style

Have you ever wondered why vehicles in videos look so shiny and bright? Hexagon lights are the key!

These six-sided lights not only provide exceptional visibility to your garage, but their patterns also reflect off your car, making them look awesome and dazzlingly shiny.

Install Light activated fixtures in cabinets

Turning the lights on your garage cabinets ON and OFF can be tedious, especially if you have several of them installed in your garage.

But did you know that you don’t have to manually control your lights? With daylight sensors, such as Blebox’s luxSensor, you don’t have to turn them ON and OFF individually.

With a wifi sensor that detects and measures light intensity, you can set your cabinet light fixtures to automatically turn ON and OFF, depending on your needs.

What’s more, you can control your lights from the convenience of your smartphone!
