What Size LED Batten Should I Buy For My Garage?

Choosing the right LED batten size for your garage depends on several factors, including:

Garage Size (Length × Width × Height)

Desired Brightness (Lumens per square meter/foot)

Number of Fittings

Ceiling Height

Color Temperature (Cool White vs. Warm White)

General Recommendations:

1. For a Single-Car Garage (Approx. 3m × 6m / 10ft × 20ft)

1x 60W (5000-6000 lumens) LED batten (4ft/5ft/6ft)

OR 2x 36W (3000-4000 lumens) LED battens for better coverage

2. For a Double-Car Garage (Approx. 6m × 6m / 20ft × 20ft)

2x 60W (5000-6000 lumens) LED battens (5ft/6ft)

OR 4x 36W (3000-4000 lumens) LED battens for even lighting

3. For a Workshop or High-Brightness Needs

Higher lumen output (7000+ lumens)

5000K (Cool White) for better visibility

Key Considerations:

✔ Lumens (Brightness):

Garage (General Use): 100-200 lumens per sq. ft

Workshop/Detailed Work: 200-300 lumens per sq. ft

✔ Color Temperature:

4000K-5000K (Cool White/Daylight) – Best for visibility

3000K (Warm White) – Softer, less ideal for workspaces

✔ Ceiling Height:

Standard (8-10ft): Standard LED battens (4ft-6ft) work well.

High Ceilings (10ft+): Consider high-bay LED lights instead.

Best LED Batten Sizes:

Final Recommendation:

Single Garage: 1x 60W (5ft/6ft) or 2x 36W (4ft)

Double Garage: 2x 60W (6ft) or 4x 36W (4ft)

Workshop: High-lumen (7000+), 5000K, multiple battens
