Workhorse

Lighting

Garages are often overlooked and

underlit. Don’t settle for the prison-

cell look of a bare-bulb fi xture.

Amp up the lighting to make your

garage more functional and inviting.

WORK SAFER Outfi t

workbenches and cabinets with

under-mount fi xtures. Don’t want a

permanent solution? Try a fl exible

clamp-on light or an LED tape light

or light sheet that you can cut to

fi t almost any space and mount

using adhesive.

GO BIGSwap single-bulb

overhead fi xtures for 4- or 8-foot

fl uorescents, which provide more

and brighter light.

LIVE SMARTWhen your hands

are busy carrying groceries, it’s

easy to forget to turn off the garage

lights. Smart bulbs with integrated

motion sensors solve the problem.

They light up when they detect

movement, then automatically turn

off after 60 seconds.

HAVE FUNIf you frequently

work in your garage, make it a

space where you actually want to

spend time. Consider a shop light

that includes Bluetooth wireless

speakers so you can listen to your

favorite music while fi xing the lawn

mower, changing the car’s oil, or

refi nishing a table.
