Pros/Cons

The following is a list of factors to consider when buying garage lights:

Lifespan:

The first factor to consider when buying garage lights is the lifespan. A long lifespan, in addition to brightness, serves as a benchmark for good garage lights. The lifespan, as we can tell from the reviews, tend to range from 30,000 to 80,000, both ends serving as the extreme.

Most models fall into the 50,000 hour lifespan, which is plenty of longevity for any light. However, if you want a longer lifespan from your light, there are options available to you (Neporal model).

Additionally, there are models with shorter lifespans for different reasons. The lowest lifespan on the list of 25,000 hours will still last plenty long for your use.

Lumens and Color Temperature:

The lumen specification and the color temperature are the next set of factors to consider when perusing the best garage lighting ideas out there. The lumen count determines the brightness of a bulb.

Higher lumen counts mean more brightness emanating from the bulb; so, higher lumen counts typically accompany the stronger lights on the market. The color temperature determines the type of light being given off.

A color temperature around 6,000K, for example, gives off bright white light, as opposed to daylight-type light that is present in lights with a count closer to 5,000K.

Illumination design:

The light unit design is the final factor to consider when buying garage lights. Many of the models we have reviewed employ adjustable, folding panels that distribute the light to the room.

However, there is also the corn cob style bulb, as well as normal bulb. Each bulb lights up the room differently.

For instance, the panel folding models are able to target their light more specifically by adjusting the lighting angle. The corn cob style light, however, lights incredibly well in a complete circle thanks the the LED lined bulb structure.

Also see our best led recessed lights, they are well suited to consecrate your apartment or home.

What does E26 or E27 mean regarding sockets?

E26 is the title of the standard light socket in the United States, whereas a smaller, candelabra socket is titled E12. So when a light product lists that it is E26 compatible, that means you will be able to use it in any standard socket.

The E26 sockets are considered to have medium bases, which is standard. E27 is the standard socket for Europe. It’s one millimeter larger in diameter than the E26. There are some models that claim to be compatible with both and there are models specifically made for E26 sockets.

What does the CRI specification tell me about the light?

CRI stands for Color Rendering Index. This index is a scale from zero to 100 that indicates how accurate the light source is in rendering colors being lit up. Therefore, the closer the number is to 100, the closer the light is to most accurately rendering the colors of what it lights up.

Most of the models here on the list are at 80 or above on this index, and thus, render very accurate colors with their bright garage lights.

What watt light bulb should I buy for my garage?

Although there are plenty of models available with low watt measures, we recommend buying a light bulb with a wattage of 60 or above. This will typically produce the best light as the lumen count from models with this type of wattage is usually around 6,000lm.
