Hi guys...what kind of lighting best shows off your ride in your garage? Fluroscent (white light) or incandescent bults or spotlights of what combination? Assuming there isnt any natural light coming in (basement car park)
My personal taste is to have lights that have a color temperature range of 3000 to 3500 kelvin (photoflood for example). If I'm not mistaken, this color temp range is a little "whiter" than the tipical incandescent and halogen lights but not as "white" as the typical, cool-white fluorescent lighting. Something that's slightly "whiter" than the Halogen will show the colors of the cars the best, in my opinion.
this is very useful info. I am just about to start fitting out my garage. I posted under Non-model specific for ideas
I've got fluorescent lights in my garage and love them because they "fill" the space with light. I've tried incandescent lights and while dramatic (if that's what you want), they don't provide the fill I wanted. You can get different "color" fluorescent bulbs which throw a bluer or whiter light depending on your preference. Frank
thanks guys. Yes, I have heard that something inbetween halogen and flourescent looks best. I have seen the white xenon like lamps that car detail shops use. While it does light up the entire area, it doesnt show up the color of the car nicely. So a bit of halogen may be needed to add depth to the paintwork
Oh snap! I think we use a ton of your stuff on our development projects. Might need to have an F40 on the consumer end too...
Here are my signs that stay on all the time. Great night lights! Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
