Lighting a two-car garage
Updated
Project steps
Measure the room
Measure the floor area and mark the parking spaces, workbench and garage-door travel on a sketch. A two-car label does not give the dimensions of your garage.
Choose light for each task
Plan general light for moving around and separate light for close work at the bench. Check the product page for any missing output or mounting measurement before deciding how many lights to use.
Check the installation
Check the power connection, mounting instructions and clearance around the moving garage door. Before wiring, turn off power at the breaker, follow local code and use a licensed electrician if unsure.
Parts to compare
Choose the parts that fit your measurements; this is a selection list, not a required quantity. For a needed number that is not published here, check the product page.
