Garage lighting recs?
 

I'm wiring up my garage as part of my assessment to be self-certified.

I'm on the lookout for 2(or more) lights for my garage. Must be IP44
rated (or greater).
I currently have a 4 foot flourescent in there which is only just
adequate.

Looking through Screwfix/Toolstation, nothing springs out as suitable
for a garage - some bathroom lights look good, but a bit ott for garage
use.
Can anyone recommend a light that is suitable?

Thanks
Alan.

How about a couple of the IP rated fluorescent fittings?

Do the really need to be IP44, is your garage wet?

Yes, perfect, as in the other post, IP rated flourescents had evaded me.

Do the really need to be IP44, is your garage wet?

It isnt wet all the time, but does get damp - it has a corrugated
concrete/asbestos roof which is 40 years or so old, and has got a few
cracks in it in paces, so can get damp on the roof in places.
Being as this is for an assessment, I need to do it right (even though a
really old basic flourescent is in there at the moment), so I can
foresee that moisture may be a problem in the future, hence the water
resistance of IPx4 fittings.
