Garage Lightening???

You want lightening in your garage?  Kinky!

CRASH!

The lighting in your garage is as important as that in any other room of your house, so select it carefully. The following tips will help you make the best choices:

· Observe your garage at different times of the day.
· Find the dark spots in the room.
· Overhead lighting is preferrable.
· Use natural light as much as possible.
· If you use the garage as a work space, consider task lighting.

Lighting from incandescent bulbs is more than sufficient if your garage is only used to house your cars and store infrequently used items. Incandescents come on immediately, use very little energy with infrequent use, and will not flicker like some cheap fluorescents no matter how cold the temperature.
However, if you have set up your garage as a workshop or other kind of activity center, high-quality fluorescents are your best bet. Fixtures with T8 tubes (T stands for “tubular” and the number refers to how many eighths of an inch are in the diameter—in the case of a T8,1 inch) and have electronic ballasts are worth the extra expense over a standard fixture that holds T12 bulbs and has magnetic ballasts

Choosing the proper lighting for a room involves taking the time to determine your needs. By truly assessing your needs before making any purchases, you will be able to determine what you need while you are at a lighting store. Otherwise, you may choose lighting that ends up being inefficient and find yourself needing to make one or more returns.
Allow as much natural light into the garage as possible. Garages are notoriously dark and often cold, so this is an important step if you have a garage with windows.
Task lighting is important in garages. Consider where you perform different tasks in the room and be sure there is bright light over those areas.
