That is a good question especially if you are planning to upgrade your garage/shop lighting. Which should be the best current lighting technology? What type of lights should you get? How many lumens?
How many watts? What color temperature? These are important questions you need to consider to make your garage or shop lights brighter and smarter.
Forget about using old traditional lighting technologies such us incandescent or fluorescent tubes, those types of lights are obsolete, especially because they can cause you to loose money with high electricity bills and maintenance costs. Old traditional types of lights just belong to the museum of past inventions, do not waste your time looking at those. The best option currently available in the market is LED sources of light. Upgrading your garage/shop lighting to LED is actually the best and smartest option in order to get brighter and advanced technology lighting. Why LED? Because nowadays LED fixtures have become very affordable, and if you consider that you will be saving four to five times in your electricity bills and in maintenance costs. Additionally with LED fixtures you can have more control of the light through dimming and motion sensing capabilities. Another important aspect that must be taken into consideration is if the LED fixtures come with an effective returning policy and warranty against quality issues, with Hypelite fixtures you get all those advantages, for example Hyperlite's Hero, Radar, Saturn and Will Series High Bay Lights come with a 5 year warranty against quality issues, and you can return the products within 30 days after purchase, if you kept them as well as new. For a garage or shop application we can recommend you many different high bay lights, for example if you are going to have open spaces the recommended type is UFO High Bay Lights (Hero, Tale, and Apollo Series). If you are going to have a shop filled with shelves and aisles we better recommend you Will Series Linear High Bay Lights due to rectangular light pattern more appropriate for a store and to have the light where it is more needed. If you want a more lower profile fixture look we can recommend you Vega Series Canopy LED Lights. If you are looking for spot lights you can use our Recessed Down Lights Dove and Halo Series.
