Hello everyone,
I’ve attached a section of the garage including the workshop area.
For lighting, the original plan was to use the seven large yellow rectangles shown. These were intended to be LED panels, possibly 40x40cm (16x16 inches), but I hadn’t finalized the size yet.
I have now marked the garage door and the attic hatch in orange. The number 20 (20cm / 8 inches) next to the garage door indicates that when the door is open, it only extends to the first orange line, and 20cm (8 inches) further is the profile frame of the guide rails. The motor is located directly beneath the central panel. That means this middle light doesn’t really make sense anymore. I’m wondering whether to simply remove it and keep the rest as planned, or if I should rethink the entire layout.
For example, I’ve noticed that in the workshop area where the workbench is supposed to go (top left on the plan in front of the window), I might need more light.
The room could also be used for a birthday party in winter, so the lighting shouldn’t be just a bit of dim, insufficient light.
How have you solved this?

I have excluded the area for the open garage door.
In what situation is the garage door open and the light on?
Perhaps only at the moment when you are driving in?

Without labeling LED as a buzzword... I wouldn’t use any LEDs at all... ahem...
They’re not on all the time, they’re not the best... why not simply try halogen? 🙂
It’s not that I don’t have LEDs, but halogen is just more comfortable for work lighting. Why should light from halogen lamps be more comfortable?

LED produces a bluish light (excluding colored effect lights, as this is about primary or work lighting), even if this is not always consciously noticed. Just try searching online for LED versus halogen.

LED light has a bluish tint (excluding colored effect lights, since we’re talking about main or task lighting here), even if it’s not immediately noticeable. Just try googling: LED or halogen. I agree that there are also poor-quality LED bulbs on the market, but otherwise I mostly hear a lot of misleading information. Not everything you read on the internet is accurate...

LED is not an all-round solution, nor is it suitable as task lighting.
It is an accent light that offers the advantages of not heating up and having low power consumption.

It’s an accent light that has the advantage of not heating up and consuming little energy. I’m not sure what leads you to this opinion, but with proper light bulbs or fixtures there’s nothing to worry about. There are already very high-quality models available from around 10 EUR for various sockets...
