How Much Lighting is Required for Garage Lighting?

Proper lighting in your garage is essential for visibility, safety, and functionality, whether you're parking, working on projects, or using it as a storage area. The amount of lighting you need depends on the size of your garage and the activities performed there. Our modern, efficient Hexagonal Lights offer an ideal solution for garage lighting, providing both brightness and style.

Understanding Lumens and Wattage for Garage Lighting

When planning garage lighting, it's important to understand lumens, which measure brightness. Unlike wattage, which measures energy consumption, lumens indicate how bright your lights will be. Our Hexagonal Lights offer excellent brightness, with each 6W 440mm tube emitting 110 lumens per watt (660 lumens per tube). This energy-efficient option ensures you get plenty of light with minimal power usage.

Recommended Lumens for Different Garage Sizes

1-Car Garage

A typical 1-car garage requires 4,000-5,000 lumens for adequate lighting. One of our Hexagonal Lights Grid - 5 Hex produces an impressive 15,840 lumens, which more than meets this requirement, ensuring bright and even illumination throughout your space.

2-Car Garage

For a 2-car garage, the recommended lumens increase to around 6,000-7,500. Our Hexagonal Lights Grid - 7 Hex, with more than 22,000 lumens, provides ample lighting, covering every corner of a larger space with ease.

3-Car Garage

For a 3-car garage or similarly large spaces, you'll need approximately 9,000-10,000 lumens. Consider multiple grids or our larger hexagonal light setups to achieve the perfect lighting for such a vast area.

Energy Efficiency of Hexagonal Lights

In addition to delivering bright, consistent lighting, our Hexagonal Lights are incredibly energy-efficient, providing 110 lumens per watt. This means fewer watts are needed to achieve the same level of brightness as traditional lighting solutions, saving on energy costs in the long run. Compare that to conventional lighting, and you’ll see how much more efficient hexagonal lights are for your garage.

How to Calculate the Number of Lights for Your Garage

Calculating the number of lights you need is simple. Multiply the square footage of your garage by the recommended lumens per square foot (50 for general use, 75-100 for workshops). Divide that total by the lumen output of each light (e.g., 660 lumens per tube in our Hexagonal Lights) to find the number of lights you need.

Conclusion

Having the right amount of lighting in your garage is crucial for safety, functionality, and comfort. Our Hexagonal Lights provides bright, energy-efficient solutions that meet your garage’s lighting needs, whether you’re parking, working, or using it as a workshop.
