“My study is a converted garage which is largely lined with bookshelves and cardboard boxes filled with manuscripts of my film scripts, plays, and books.” <\/em> –  William Nicholson<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you have lights in and around your garage? If so, they are probably a single spotlight outside, and the light inside is the one that comes on your garage door opener. These are simply not enough lights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You need an additional light fixture in the garage and an exterior garage light that can create a broader wash of light on your property. These garage lighting ideas will help you find the perfect lighting<\/a> for in and around your garage.<\/p>\n\n\n

1. LED Lights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

LED lighting is the modern lighting solution that is perfect for your garage. This type of lighting requires you to change out the light fixtures that you currently have to ones that are LED light bulb compatible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many homeowners decide against this because it represents a larger upfront investment. However, these people are missing out on the long-term benefits of LED garage lights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Switching your garage lights to LED will save you monthly because of their low energy consumption. You also have a broader range of lumens and temperature options. These are what allow you to create a custom lighting solution. LED bulbs also last significantly longer than standard bulbs, so there\u2019s no need to worry about replacing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Decorative Lights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most people think of their garage as storage<\/a> or workspace, so they don\u2019t think about adding decorative lighting to their garage. However, this means they are missing out on a prime opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add decorative lighting to your garage and make it a more enjoyable place to be while you are hanging out in your garage or driveway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Homeowners should also add lighting to the outside of their garage. These outdoor lighting fixtures create more outdoor light. Now you can use your property when the sun goes down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exterior lighting also makes it safer to be outside walking around at night. Consider the color temperature of the light you choose. A yellow light isn\u2019t as bright but is softer on the eyes. Bright white will be more effective at illumination but can feel harsh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Exterior Garage Lights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Adding exterior lights to your home serves multiple purposes. The first is to make your home and property safer. Flood lights illuminate the entire area so that you can safely walk around without bumping into things and tripping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose motion sensor lights to add safety by making your home less appealing to criminals who may want to target your home. Those with bad intentions tend to move around in the dark, so take that away, and they will look for an easier target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your outdoor lighting fixture can also add a decorative appeal to your home. Adding landscape lighting<\/a> illuminates your property at night, making it look more appealing and welcoming. This is smart if you want to improve the curb appeal<\/a> of your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
