EFFICIENT LED GARAGE DOOR LIGHTING
MAXIMUM BRIGHTNESS FOR SAFE DRIVEWAYS
Garage door lighting is an important aspect of a building's security. This applies to both private homes and commercial properties. The right exterior lighting can prevent accidents or deter burglars. In addition, well-planned garage door lighting creates a pleasant ambience and enhances the property.
In the past, garage door lighting often consisted of light bulbs or halogen lamps. However, these light sources consume a lot of energy and have a negative impact on the environment. Modern LED garage door lighting, on the other hand, is energy-saving, environmentally friendly and long-lasting. However, the right brightness, colour temperature and positioning of the garage door lighting on the outside of the garage are important. In this guide, we will tell you what you should bear in mind when planning and how you can use LED garage door lighting to increase safety and set special lighting accents at the same time.
GARAGE DOOR EXTERIOR LIGHTING: LIGHTING ACCENTS FOR SAFETY AND AESTHETICS
Every type of garage door is suitable for garage door lighting with LEDs. Whether sectional door, roller door, up-and-over door or swing door - you can fit the LED lamps either at the top or side of the garage door. With the right lighting, side doors also have an aesthetic appearance and can be entered safely.
Well-placed lighting ensures brightness throughout the area without dazzling drivers or the occupants of the house. To achieve this, it is important to install the garage door lighting LEDs at the right height and in an optimal position. If you want to emphasise certain plants, an architectural feature or special decorative elements, you can use the garage door lighting to create targeted lighting accents.
LED GARAGE DOOR LIGHTING: FOCUS ON ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY LIGHTING SOLUTIONS
Compared to conventional garage lighting, garage door lighting with LEDs is characterised by its longevity and energy efficiency. LED garage door lighting does not contain any mercury or other harmful substances that are found in many conventional garage lighting lamps. The power consumption of LED garage door lighting is low, so the lamps can be switched on at dusk.
Another important aspect of LED garage door lighting is the light colour. As a rule, outdoor garage door lighting is available with cool white or warm white light. The colour temperature often depends on the use of the garage: In the commercial sector, the cool white colour is increasingly used, while private individuals tend to opt for the warm white or daylight white variants.
GARAGE DOOR LIGHTING: TIPS FOR OPTIMUM ILLUMINATION OF YOUR DRIVEWAY
We have put together some tips on how to optimise the lighting in, in front of and next to your garage:
- Ceiling lighting in the garage provides bright light when opening and closing.
- The garage door lighting for outside should be installed above or next to the garage door.
- To avoid tripping hazards, you can equip the path between the garage and house with floor lights, which are also available as LED lamps.
- By using motion sensors, you can save energy and increase the security of your property at the same time.
- Control the garage door lighting with a hand-held transmitter or opt for a solution that can be integrated into your smart home. This allows you to plan and control your garage door lighting with LEDs quickly and easily via an app.
