Lighting Installation
When it comes to putting in garage lights, we know how much good, steady lighting matters in a space you use every day. At Refined ADU Builder & Garage Conversions, we bring top-notch lighting installation services that boost both safety and usefulness in your garage. Many of our customers are shocked at how much bigger and cleaner their garage looks with proper lighting - it's like getting extra space without moving a single wall.

Our skilled team makes sure your lights are put in the right way, giving you bright, power-saving options that keep working year after year without buzzing, flickering, or burning out. Unlike quick DIY fixes that leave dangerous wires exposed or lights that cast harsh shadows right where you need to see, our professional setups light every corner evenly. We test every fixture multiple times to ensure it won't fail when you need it most.
We understand garages aren't just for parking cars or storing holiday boxes anymore; they can be places to work on projects, enjoy hobbies, or even create extra living space for family and guests. The right lighting makes all these activities easier on your eyes and much more pleasant. Many people don't realize they've been straining their eyes for years until they experience properly lit work areas. We spend time creating custom lighting plans that match exactly what you do in your space, not one-size-fits-all solutions that waste electricity and money.
We bring years of hands-on know-how and careful attention to small details on every job, helping you get excellent results without the stress and mistakes that often come with lighting work. We also help you choose lighting that complements your specific activities - whether that's focused task lighting for a workbench, adjustable lighting for a home gym, or warm, welcoming lighting for an entertainment area. And we're careful to place switches and controls where they make sense for how you move through the space, so you're never fumbling in the dark.
Designing an Effective Garage Lighting Plan
We focus on creating lighting that fits your garage’s unique needs. This means planning the placement and type of lights to make your space brighter, safer, and more useful.
Personalized Lighting Layouts
We start by studying the size and shape of your garage. We consider where you park, store items, and work. This helps us decide how many lights you need and where to place them for the best coverage.
We design lighting to avoid shadows and dark spots. For example, overhead LED fixtures are often placed in rows across the ceiling. We may also add wall-mounted lights to brighten corners or work areas.
Our layouts aim to give you clear visibility everywhere. This reduces accidents and makes daily tasks easier, whether it’s parking or finding stored tools.
Task and Ambient Lighting Techniques
We use task lighting to focus light where detailed work happens. This might include bright, adjustable lights over workbenches or hobby areas. These lights help improve precision and reduce eye strain.
For general illumination, we install ambient lighting. This provides soft, even light that fills the whole garage. Often this is done with flush mount ceiling fixtures or recessed lights.
We balance task and ambient lighting so the garage is never too dim or too harsh. This creates a comfortable space for any activity inside the garage.
Integration With Garage Conversions
When we convert garages into living or workspaces, we adapt lighting to fit the new use. We add more varied lighting options like dimmers or color temperature controls.
Our team also plans for lighting in new walls or ceilings added during the conversion. This ensures wiring is neat and meets code requirements.
Lighting must match the function of the new room, such as bright light for an office or cozy light for a guest room. We coordinate with other parts of the conversion to make lighting look natural and work well.
Advanced Lighting Features and Technologies
We focus on practical features that improve how your garage lights work. Our solutions include systems that adjust on their own, react to movement, and allow easy control from anywhere.
Smart Lighting Systems
We install lighting that connects to your smartphone or home network. These systems let you adjust brightness, color, and schedules remotely.
Smart lights can save energy by dimming or turning off when not needed. They often work with virtual assistants like Alexa or Google Assistant, making voice control easy.
You can create scenes for different tasks, such as bright light for working or soft light for parking. This flexibility makes your garage more functional and comfortable.
Motion Sensor Options
Motion sensors automatically turn lights on when someone enters the garage. We use sensors that detect movement quickly and accurately to prevent lights from staying on.
This feature improves safety by lighting your path and helps save electricity. You can set time delays so lights turn off after you leave.
We offer different sensor types, including those sensitive to body heat or sound, tailored to your garage’s size and use.
Remote Control and Automation
Our lighting systems allow remote control through apps or wireless remotes. This means you can switch lights on or off without being in the garage.
Automation features can link garage lights to doors or other smart home devices. For example, lights can turn on when the garage door opens.
You can program schedules to match your routine, ensuring your garage is well-lit only when needed. This reduces energy waste and increases convenience.
