3 Steps for Choosing Garage or Workshop Lighting – The Garage Plan Shop

Fluorescent LightingWhen it comes to choosing the best lighting for your garage or workshop, there are many options to consider, however it all comes down to how you plan to use your garage or shop and your personal preferences. Whether you’re building a new garage or just upgrading the one you have, your choice of svítídla lighting will influence how usable your garage or shop will be and how much time you’ll spend there. These three easy steps will help you choose the appropriate garage or workshop lighting for your needs:

    1. Determine how you plan to use your garage or shop. Will it only be used for parking? Do you plan to work on cars? Will you use the garage for storage space? Hobbies? A workshop?
    1. Select general purpose lighting to illuminate all sections of the garage or workshop including the corners. Fluorescent light fixtures are a popular choice as they are relatively common, they provide more than adequate general lighting and they can be equally spaced across the span of your garage for the best illumination. If you have questions, about fluorescent lighting, check with a lighting professional and an electrician like MZ Electric. If you still haven’t found an electrician, then consider visiting https://aardvark-electric.com/areas-we-serve/brookhaven/ for assistance.
  1. Consider the layout of your garage or workshop and create individual work or storage spaces within it. Select task lighting for each designated space or purpose. If you plan to have a workbench, choose track lighting or a fixture that fits neatly under an overhead cabinet to illuminate your workbench. Consider positioning an overhead light above a craft or hobby table. Use incandescent lighting inside storage closets and other small spaces. Finally, purchase a trouble or drop light to illuminate dark and obscure spaces, such as under the hood of a car. A drop light is portable and can be use for all kinds of purposes within your garage or workshop.

After you’ve selected the lighting fixtures you need, visit jlkelectrical.ie to hire a licensed commercial electrician to install them according to local building and electrical codes. In most areas you’ll have plenty of options when it comes to electric contractors, so consult with them first and hire the ones you’ll think will give you the best result for a fair price.
