Garage lighting ideas

[Snyper564]

Hey all,

So... busy with kitchen/utility room renovations at the moment but I sorted did some garage renovations a year back. With many of the garage items moving into the utility room I plan on messing around with the garage storage later.

BUT

I have used the same old florescent lights for the last 10 years and im certain the prior owners had them in for MANY MANY more years...

I have a motion sensor in there so when the garage door opens lights pop on.

Now I want this thing LIT up anyone have any ideas to really light the space up?

Before ceiling reno



After renos


Please give me good ideas for really nice lighting.

The light is more important than fixtures its a garage afterall!

For main, have a look at the diffused lighting bars at places like leroy merlin or builders. Works nicely

Two packs of these. R300 for 4 lights. One in each corner shining towards each other down to the floor.
Will take 2min to mount each light with 2 screws in roof beams and you can wire them with ripcord if you want.
You can then also adjust their angles if there is parts of garage you need light more focused on. 40 watts total with a lot of light.

They are much smaller than they look in the pictures. We use them for fishtank lights, outside lights and even two backup lights in house for load shedding.
