WHY BESPOKE LIGHTING IS THE PERFECT CHOICE WHEN TRANSFORMING YOUR LUXURY CAR GARAGE

Bespoke lighting is a crucial design element of any space, including luxury car garages. With the rise of bespoke lighting solutions over recent years, aesthetic and practical choices have been at the forefront of bespoke lighting design and manufacture to ensure a space looks appealing but also functions effectively.

Choosing bespoke lighting solutions – which can range from products including LED strip lights to recessed lightboxes – has become common when transforming luxury car garages, either in a residential home or as part of a retail car dealer upgrade. Luxury cars are often seen as a work of art, so owners and sellers want to show their beauty off and show off the space they are kept in. Lighting plays a critical role in this.

The team at No Grey Area are experts in the design, manufacture and installation of bespoke lighting solutions, like LED lighting solutions, and can support your projects by combining lighting trends with interior design trends.

How does bespoke lighting transform a luxury car garage?

A luxury car garage can be a museum-like aspect of a residential home where individuals store and show off their luxury cars, or they can be a retail luxury car dealership store with the main purpose of selling high-end car brands, like Porsche and Ferrari, to clients.

Bespoke lighting can be used in luxury car garages to enhance aesthetics, functionality and emotional aspect for owners and buyers alike. Selecting the right type of lighting can help showcase the cars like art pieces, create a luxurious ambience and enhance functionality and safety when around these cars. Great lighting can add extra polish and a sense of professionalism for commercial dealers, increasing buyer confidence.

With several lighting options to choose from at No Grey Area, there are endless possibilities for your luxury car garage. However, despite the range of bespoke lighting choices, LED lighting is an extremely common choice when looking to transform a luxury car garage.

Why is LED lighting used in a luxury car garage?

LED lighting is a popular choice when transforming a luxury car garage because it delivers the perfect combination of performance, aesthetics, efficiency and the ability for control.

Not only can standard LED lights bring new life to your luxury car garage, but you could implement motion sensor LEDs as integrated light fixtures or LED strip lights for added effect or consider track lighting to highlight newer arrivals and create more visual interest. Never underestimate the power of colours in commercial spaces either; colour changing LED lighting can bring variety to your car garage if done correctly.

If your luxury car garage is part of your residential home, you may choose to combine lighting with stretch ceiling for acoustic benefits and enhance the showroom aesthetics of your space, since stretch ceilings offer a smooth, uniform surface that can be matte, satin or glossy.

Otherwise, if your luxury car garage is used for commercial purposes, like selling luxury cars, you may consider using LED strip lights to enhance your business. During the planning phase of your luxury car garage transformation, it is important to know how bright your space should be by considering the recommended lumens and lux for certain spaces in different settings.

What are the benefits of using LED lighting to enhance a luxury car garage?

There are numerous benefits of using LED lighting during the transformation of your luxury car garage to enhance the space. From energy efficient alternatives to the endless customisation possibilities, using LED lighting can transform either a residential or commercial luxury car garage, no matter its purpose.

Energy Efficiency

LED lighting offers major energy efficiency benefits. Not only do they reduce your carbon footprint, which could be a factor of commercial luxury car garage brands’ wider sustainability plan, but they have a long lifespan which reduces waste. Due to LED lighting having a lower rate of energy consumption, they can reduce your energy costs and emit low heat to directly save energy but reduce cooling loads in climate-controlled spaces, like a luxury car garage.

Advanced and Innovative Technology

The smart control capabilities of LED lighting add a new dimension to bespoke lighting design.

LED lighting can be easily integrated with dimmers, sensors and automation systems – like voice assistants or controllable apps – which can reduce energy use further. You can connect LEDs to systems like Alexa or Google Home to allow you to adjust brightness and colour remotely, or systems can be set so that lights turn on and off automatically based on the time of day, occupancy or daylight levels.

Customisation

LED lighting can be customisable to fit the aesthetic of your luxury car garage space or to change colours on a timer setting. For example, you could use warmer tones to create a cosy and ambient atmosphere or use cooler tones for task lighting, all through the power of LED lighting.

The versatility of LED lights means you can create sleek and modern aesthetics whilst framing different aspects of the vehicle. LEDs can enhance body lines and silhouette, paintwork and finish, wheels and tyres and badges, logos and other unique features.

Ultimately, using LED lighting, like LED strip lights recessed into floor edges or small, focused uplights, can enhance the overall aesthetic of your luxury car garage aside from the car, like polished floors, custom cabins and premium finishes.

What alternative types of bespoke lighting are suitable for luxury car garages?

Whilst LED lights are an incredibly popular option when transforming luxury car garages, other bespoke lighting options can be used to enhance your space. These include:

• Fluorescent lights: these are an energy-efficient option that offer bright and even lighting. They are well suited for larger areas due to their wide coverage capabilities, but they may not perform optimally in extremely cold temperatures and they can flicker as they age.
• Incandescent lights: these are a less common choice, but they provide a warm glow and may be appealing for certain decorative lighting needs in luxury car garages, regardless of if they are in a residential or commercial setting. However, compared to LED and fluorescent options, incandescent lights are less energy efficient and have a shorter lifespan.
• Recessed lightboxes: in a luxury garage, recessed lightboxes function as a modern lighting frame that both illuminates and elevates the cars beneath them. They can form a spotlight effect, floating ceiling effect or a mirroring effect to present cars in different ways.

At No Grey Area, our lighting range is broad and varied, and since residential lighting trends can be designed to be authentic based on a certain space, we can support all types of projects. Regardless of the type of lighting you require, we can design, manufacture and install a range of lighting features into your luxury car garage, including linear systems and ring pendants and acoustics.

What should be avoided when using bespoke lighting to transform a luxury car garage?

It is important that when you select bespoke lighting as part of your luxury car garage transformation that you are sure to avoid pitfalls with your lighting choices to ensure maximum performance.

Avoiding improper placement, refraining from using low-quality LED lighting and not considering the needs of the car are all essential factors to consider when transforming your luxury car garage. By implementing the right lighting in the right places, you have the opportunity to change your luxury car garage space and frame your luxury cars in a way that highlights their best features.
