What are the different types of garage lighting?
Has your old garage light has packed it in? There are lots of different types to replace it with.
Here are the most common types of garage lights available:
LED lights: For those that don't know, LED stands for light-emitting diode. But what does an LED light actually do? Well, it produces an electrical current, which passes through a microchip to produce light. The biggest benefit of LED lights is that they're energy-efficient, which means more light at a lower cost. Win, win.
Shop lights: These can often be LED lights, but these are higher performance and have an industrial look.
Work light: A work light is a personal light that will help to brighten up an area. These can sometimes be so powerful that they will even light up a whole construction site. A portable option like this can be beneficial if you want to use it in multiple places, like the shed and garden.

Now that you know more about the different types of garage lights available, this should help you understand what fitting will work better in your space.
