Garage lighting often gets little attention. An incandescent bulb or two, maybe a fluorescent fixture and it’s considered finished. But a garage can have many uses and lighting is often poorly designed for most of them.
Even such a simple act as parking the car and walking into the house can be compromised by poor lighting design. Bumping into low shelves, tripping over toys and many other common garage accidents could be avoided with proper lighting.
Want to install a dimmer switch, replace incandescent bulbs with CFLs (Compact Fluorescent Lights) or LEDs, or perform many other home lighting projects? If so, it’s helpful to know a little bit about what drives them all: electricity.
Two of the most basic concepts needed are ‘voltage’ and ‘current’. Current moves down a wire, pushed by a certain voltage. Current is the quantity of electricity flowing, measured in amperes or amps (A). Voltage is the force with which it’s pushed down the wire, measured in volts (V).
