From Hobby Spots to Workshops, our top 8 LED design tips

From Hobby Spots to Workshops, our top 8 LED design tips
  • Plan your lighting layout: Assess your garage and hobby area to determine the optimal locations for lighting fixtures. Consider areas where you need focused task lighting and areas where you need general ambient lighting. 
  • Use bright and efficient LED bulbs: Select LED bulbs with high lumens output to ensure sufficient brightness for your activities. Look for bulbs with a color temperature between 4000K and 5000K for a cool white light that promotes focus and visibility.
  • Install overhead and task lighting: Combine overhead lighting fixtures, such as LED shop lights or flush-mount LED panels, to provide general illumination. Add task lighting in specific areas where you need extra brightness, such as over workbenches or crafting stations. Select LEDs like our reduced eye strain bulbs that are instant on and glare and flicker-free. 
  • Consider motion sensor lights: To save energy and provide convenience, consider installing LED lights with motion sensors. They will automatically turn on when you enter the garage or hobby area and turn off when no motion is detected.
  • Use adjustable fixtures: Opt for LED lighting fixtures that offer adjustability, such as track lighting or adjustable LED spotlights or downlights. This allows you to direct light exactly where you need it, enhancing visibility and reducing shadows.
  • Optimize lighting angles: Position your lighting fixtures to minimize shadows and ensure even illumination across your workspace. Experiment with different angles and heights to find the most effective lighting setup.
  • Use dimmers and smart controls: Install dimmable LED bulbs or smart lighting systems that allow you to adjust the brightness level according to your needs. This can be useful for creating different lighting atmospheres or reducing glare during certain tasks.
  • Maintain a clean and organized lighting environment: Regularly clean your LED fixtures and ensure they are free from dust and debris. Keep your garage and hobby area well-organized, ensuring that lighting is not obstructed by objects or clutter.

    • By implementing these strategies with LEDVANCE and SYLVANIA long-lasting bulbs, you can maximize the benefits of LED lighting in your garage and hobby place, creating a well-lit and functional space for your projects and activities while reducing energy costs with LEDs.
