"If your current garage lighting ideas are little more than a single bare bulb, it's definitely time for a rethink. Today's garages are no longer just a place to park the family car. They're doubling up as workshops, gyms, hobby rooms and even social spaces, so your garage lighting ideas need to keep pace. Think bright, energy-efficient LEDs to banish dark corners, motion sensors that spring into action the second you walk in, and durable fittings designed to cope with dust, moisture and fluctuating temperatures."
"So, it pays to choose products that are built to last for your garage design. Chris Bawden, founder at Simple Lighting, explains: "In garages, I always recommend sealed LED fixtures with a high IP rating. Garages are dusty, often damp, and subject to temperature swings, so the fittings need to withstand far harsher conditions than typical indoor lights. An IP65-rated LED batten or bulkhead is ideal because it prevents dust ingress and resists moisture, ensuring performance isn't compromised over time.""
Garages increasingly function as workshops, gyms, hobby rooms and social spaces, requiring brighter, more versatile lighting. Energy-efficient LEDs and motion sensors improve visibility and convenience while reducing running costs. Fixtures should be sealed and have high IP ratings to resist dust, moisture and temperature swings common in garages. Slimline strip lights and hexagonal panels offer both practical illumination and aesthetic upgrades, transforming garages into polished home extensions. Selecting durable fittings, appropriate colour temperature and even, shadow-free batten or strip lighting ensures safety, usability and an inviting atmosphere for multiple garage uses.
