All Teeners,
I did a search within this list not sure this was covered previously. I am going to demo my garage interior. install lighting, electric, heated floor, the whole deal. My question is what is the direction to go as to the in ceiling lighting? Fluorescent is the path I was heading, though LED is getting better, Any experience with _products_ that are working well for the people in this forum? Thanks! CTC911CTC |

LEDs are no doubt superior. Think perimeter for placement. Running lights down the center of a bay is a waste of lumens. If you have appropriate space, you can also install a light at ground level to aid illumination under the car. Another great convenience is a motion sensor light with the sensor aimed at the garage entry. That way you’ll always have light when you enter and leave the room and if your hands are full you won’t have to flip the switch.
Pay close attention to outlets also. Can’t have too many. Consider putting some at ground level. Also, many electricians will run multiple circuits with outlets alternated so you don’t overload when using multiple, large draw tools in the same area. |
