Garage Lighting Layout Guide (6500K): Lumens per m²

Tylex Designs

Why 6500K for garages

Crisp, daylight-like visibility for detailing, filming and fine work.

Lumens per m² targets

Storage 200–300; wrenching 400–600; detailing/content 700–1000+. Increase output for higher ceilings.

Pattern selection

Hex 14 for single bays, Hex 15 or PRO for larger areas; avoid shadows over the hood/roof line.

Mounting & wiring

Flush for low ceilings; suspension for 3 m+. Plug-and-play cable or hardwire—both are clean options.

FAQ

  • Will LEDs flicker on camera? Quality drivers minimize visible flicker.

  • How high can I mount hex lights? Up to ~3.5 m with the right kit and spacing.

  • Do I need a dimmer? Optional; many prefer fixed 6500K brightness for work.
