Garage Lighting Setups
Let’s start with one of the most crucial fixtures in any garage: lighting.
Light fixtures have come a long way from incandescent bulbs and fluorescent tubes – and thanks to LED technology, there’s an array of light fixtures you can install within your garage. Beyond lighting a space with an even spread of light and offering different color options – going LED can also accentuate the design of your car: its color, materials, and design.
Where to start:
- Hexa-LED Honeycomb LED Light Fixtures
- Linear LED lights: Hanging | Fixed Ceiling
