Real task visibility
Light under cabinets removes the shadow your own body casts over the bench.

LED accent and task lighting
Under-cabinet task light, cove glow, display lighting and color accents that make a finished garage feel like a showroom.
- Walls & Light

- Free estimate
Task lighting puts a clear, shadow-free beam exactly where you work: the bench top, the tool wall, the inside of a cabinet. Accent lighting adds the layer of mood: glowing strips above cabinets, light along the ceiling edge, a wash across the wall behind a car on display.
Together they take a bright, functional garage and give it atmosphere. Controls matter, so we plan switches or a controller that lets you move between a bright work mode and a softer evening mode.
You may need this if
- The bench is always in your own shadow
- You want a display or lounge feel
- You want to highlight a car, collection or wall
- Interior cabinet space is dark
From plan to finished.
The steps for led accent & task lighting, in the order they happen.
- 01
Plan the layers
Task, general and accent lighting are separated so each can be controlled.
- 02
Pick the fixtures
Strips, bars and cove lights are selected for brightness, color and moisture rating.
- 03
Install and conceal
Fixtures are mounted and wiring is hidden along cabinets, ceiling edges and tracks.
- 04
Program scenes
Dimmers or controllers set work, display and evening modes.
What you get.
Showroom mood
Accent lighting makes finishes, cars and displays stand out.
Flexible scenes
Bright when you work, soft when you relax.
Efficient and cool-running

Is it right for your garage?
A good fit when
- Showpiece and car garages
- Workshops that need task light
- Lounge garages
Worth knowing
- Very bold accents can be distracting, so we recommend testing in the space.
- Strip lighting needs a clean mounting surface and planned power supplies.
Good questions about led accent & task lighting.
Will color lighting look gimmicky?
Used with restraint it looks premium. We usually keep work light white and use color only as a subtle accent.
Can I control it from my phone?
Many controllers support app control, and we can plan this where it makes sense.
Is it safe in a garage?
We specify fixtures and power supplies suited to garages, and wiring changes are done by qualified electricians.
