How many lumens do I need to light a garage or workshop?

For general lighting, plan for roughly 50 lumens per square foot, so a 400-square-foot garage needs around 20,000 lumens. Add focused task lighting of 75 or more lumens per square foot wherever you do detailed work.

What is the difference between lumens and watts?

Lumens measure brightness (how much light you get). Watts measure energy use. With LEDs, a low-wattage bulb can be very bright, so shop by lumens, not watts.

What color temperature is best for a workspace?

Neutral to cool white, around 4000K, is ideal for garages, shops, and task work. It is bright and clear without the harsh blue of very high Kelvin daylight bulbs.

How many lumens is the MULE Mobile Workshop light?

The MULE Mobile Workshop has a built-in LED work light rated at 1,100 lumens and 4000K, and it adjusts up or down to aim light where you need it.

Are more lumens always better?

Not always. Too much light in a small space can cause glare and eye strain. Match the lumens to the size of the space and the task, and use aimable task lighting for close work.

Why does good lighting matter for getting work done?

Proper lighting reduces eye strain, helps you see detail, and lets you work accurately and safely, which means fewer mistakes and less rework.
