Garage lighting ideas

Sweet thanks! These things are 6500k def don't think I'm sold but I haven't hung them or opened Lal will likely return it and go with the lower kelvin

Something to remember 6500 k has its place but mix and match to suit you ,also digital and analog lights sources aren't close ,we are wired to see in analog format linear like led is different ,adding led lights up doesn't give you the same results as incandescent at 2700k ,in kitchen spaces use white and orange to suit yourself ,4500 k is usually sufficient ,floodlights are a waste of time and money as they just give a big kotch of light that has no definition and is useless in a working environment ,you want to be happy in your workspace ,4500 directly overhead and say 4000k behind you ,our test benches for calibration purposes, the lumens run at 3200 lumen over the workbenches ,that's around 2 square meters .don't go expensive until you are happy, Osram give the best quality in K value, stay away from any generic Chinese lamp ,they lie about the wattage and lux values ,their lux value is at plate which is meaningless, and wattages are added up, ie 5 of 1 watt led is 5watt, in led it's meaningless ,

Colour is seen differently by different people and as you get older you need more meaningful light ,if your missus uses the area the most ,she must decide ,it's a lot of trial and error ,but, worth it to be happy in the environment ,bedrooms 2700 to 3500 k ,unless using the space for reading then 4500k and even higher if needed .as your k goes up colour rendition drops ,at around 7600 to 10 000 k it becomes blue which is useless for inside and outside has none to very little penetration, it becomes this orb of nauseating light .

Popped the 4000k in world of difference. Will likely do 4-6 of them as needed. Thanks for the advice

Next time you should try some Eurolux floodlights. Vacuum cleaners does not produce much light.

Lol, my brain is autocorrecting wrong.
