FAQ

WHAT TYPE OF LIGHTING IS THE MOST EFFICIENT FOR A GARAGE AND SHED?

 

LED lighting is widely regarded as one of the most efficient lighting options for garages and sheds. LED lights use significantly less energy compared to traditional incandescent bulbs, making them highly energy-efficient. Additionally, LEDs have a longer lifespan, reducing the need for frequent replacements. With their bright and focused illumination, LED lights ensure ample visibility in work areas, making them an ideal choice for garage and shed lighting.

 

WHAT ARE SOME COMMON PITFALLS TO AVOID WHEN IT COMES TO LIGHTING GARAGES EFFECTIVELY?

 

Insufficient Lighting: Inadequate lighting stands as one of the most common mistakes people make when lighting their garages. Insufficient illumination can hinder task performance and raise the risk of accidents.


Poor Lighting Placement: Improper lighting placement constitutes another mistake, wherein lights are positioned incorrectly or at unfavorable angles. This can result in shadows or glare, thereby impeding visibility during tasks.


Wrong Type of Lighting: Choosing the wrong type of lighting can also be a mistake. For instance, opting for incandescent lights may seem cost-effective initially, but they have shorter lifespans and lower energy efficiency compared to LED or fluorescent lights.


Incorrect Colour Temperature: Light sources with varying colour temperatures have the potential to impact the colour rendition within a garage. Selecting an inappropriate colour temperature can pose challenges in distinguishing between different colours or fine details.


Neglecting Dimming Controls: Incorporating dimming controls allows for customizable brightness levels to accommodate various tasks and personal preferences. Without this option, the garage may feel excessively bright or dim, depending on the time of day or specific activity at hand.

 

 

WHAT IS THE IDEAL AMOUNT OF LIGHTING FOR A GARAGE?

 

Understanding the term 'lumens' is crucial in tackling this question. Lumens quantify the amount of light emitted by a light source, with higher ratings indicating brighter LEDs. It's important to note that lumen output differs from 'wattage,' which pertains to electrical power consumption.

 

When determining the appropriate lighting level for spaces like garages, it is advisable to consider the required lumens. As a general guideline, a basic garage area typically necessitates a minimum of 50 lumens per square meter. For practical purposes, it is recommended to aim for 80-100 lumens per square foot.
