Consultation on repairing the garage.

[Daniel-J]

I ran out of garage repairs, but I didn't have enough for normal lighting. In the end, I have the perfect garage to rest and repair my equipment, but it looks like a horror movie. But it's a good place to sleep.

The workers left one light bulb on the ceiling after the repair. I have money for lighting, but I don't know how long the light bulbs will last, will it be bright or will it be enough? Has anyone ever had a problem like that or bought one?

Of course, I have found several sites where you can buy this equipment, https://thelightingoutlet.com.au/collections/garage-lighting, https://wisepick.org/best-garage-lighting/ but I am not used to believing them or advertising, so I want to hear your opinion.

Flush mount LED strips for the win!

My garage is 1,100sf and being remodeled. It suffers from significant square footage with a low ceiling (just over 8’). There are 1’ x 4’ LED strips available in a variety of heat ranges that are perfect for your situation.

Here are couple of pics of mine under construction like the rest of the house. I can’t raise the roof as it is under the kitchen.

I used LED lights from HD in my garage. There are only 3 and they light up really nice. Definitely could add more if I needed and increase light output.

Are you asking for advice on how to brighten up your garage?

What's your budget? I've gone through this and can give you some low end and high end solutions.

If you had a picture of your garage now, it'd help to give you more applicable thoughts

OP not sure if you get these in Denmark but I put two of them in my garage and it's like the surface of the sun now.

I went with these for general use:

And one set of these for when I'm working in the garage:

If I were living in this house longer, I would have bought a second set since it's a three stall garage. They're easy to install, either with screws or double-sided industrial hook and loop (they're light).

In full daylight:

At night (you can see six of them on the ceiling):

With the doors closed:

Lol I had the opportunity to buy some land and build a house. The garage was my only input and the wife got the rest of the house haha I made sure it was big enough for two crew cab trucks and room to move around. The rest of my crap goes in a smaller garage in the basement. I’ve had a cluttered garage and wasn’t going to have that again if I could help it.

Thats awesome man, I love my house but the garage lets me down... it's small and I have to stay on top of things so my wife doesn't turn it into a storage unit

That’s the way our first house was haha She would only clean it out if there were bad storms coming because she didn’t want my truck getting hail damage or anything. Afterwards....back out in the cold haha
