A customer contacted Access Fixtures for a solution to his poor garage lighting.

Issue

His current T12 fixtures flickered and tended to run very hot when he spent an extended period in the garage.

He was looking for an energy-efficient option that would provide a maximum amount of lighting for his automotive work space.

For many people, the garage is an extended storage space, or an oubliette, where things are stashed away for the spiders and the dark.

For others, the garage is a beloved workspace where dirty jobs get done and vehicles are not stored but showcased.

In this case, the customer wanted a lighting solution to turn his 22ft x 33ft, 3 car garage into a showroom

that would highlight the work put into maintaining his vehicles.

Requirements

Automotive enthusiasts and tinkerers have a higher lighting requirement than the typical one-car storage space.

A typical Walmart is lit to 40-50 foot candles, while a Lexus service bay is lit to 80 foot candles.

Access Fixtures specialist, Stephanie Derby, suggested a solution of 3, LED low bay fixtures for his 3-car garage.

LED fixtures are more efficient than traditional fixtures and have a rated life of 100,00 hours.

At 60-foot candles, the customer now had a bright, energy-efficient workspace to store and maintain his cars.

Just finished a shine job on your brand new classic car? Performing a little at-home maintenance—but constantly find yourself fishing out the flashlight to see the details?
