Garage Fixtures & Motion Floods - Best Driveway Picks
Have you ever pulled into a parking garage with a high ceiling and it was still too dark? This is most likely because there is not enough natural light in that area.
Poor lighting or inconsistent lighting leads to dark spots. Dark spots decrease visibility and safety around homes, hospitals, and parking garages.
Garage lights and motion-sensor flood lights prevent dark spots in closed off spaces, such as garages. These and other types of lighting see common use in, and around, garages and driveways. Other garage fixtures include shop lights, high bays, work lights, and vaportight fixtures.
In this blog, we discuss the benefits of driveway lights and the best ones to choose from. Whether you're wiring a new garage or upgrading one, our top-rated LED motion floods and garage lights are available at Winter prices through January 31st!
Why use Garage fixtures and Motion Flood lights?
Garage Fixtures
Garage light fixtures are an essential part of garages and warehouses. LED garage lighting is great for providing adequate amounts of lighting to these spaces. Increased visibility helps to reduce the risk of accidents in the area. Adequate lighting improves visibility, which increases efficiency and safety.
Many garage lighting options, such as ufo high bays and floodlights use weather-resistant materials. Weather-resistant (WR) materials withstand moisture, temperature changes, and other physical impacts.
ILP Lighting’s 58W UFO Parking Garage Fixture keeps parking garages and other areas well-lit during the nighttime. It comes with a 14W LED Battery Backup and provides uniform, glare-free lighting. Additionally, ILP's UFO high bay narrow beam spread offers powerful, focused lighting in garage workspaces.

Motion Floods
Motion floods are a type of floodlight that turns on when it detects motion. Sensors on the floodlight detect movement and automatically turn the lights on. Motion floods can mount on walls or poles and are typically found in driveways and parking lots.
Motion floods offer many adjustable features, like sensitivity and light levels. These varying features give the resident many options to fit any preference. Motion floods are great for providing security in areas with a lot of activity.
