Dear forum members,

I am new here and hope I am posting in the right forum.

I am planning a new (concreted) garage and would like to create the best and most elegant garage possible. I am envisioning a dark poured asphalt, painted walls, and especially a (possibly recessed into the concrete ceiling) large but still energy-efficient ceiling lighting. My example – which always makes everyone laugh when I mention it – is the Batman garage from The Dark Knight.

Of course, this is certainly a bit of a plaything and I am not a lighting technician.
My specific questions are:

a.) Is there an affordable and cost-effective way to implement something like this? After all, I am talking about a garage measuring 5 x 5.50 m.
b.) Would such lighting be implemented as a "suspended ceiling" or somehow directly embedded in the concrete ceiling?
c.) Are there clever solutions/ideas here to implement something like this without relying on square LED lights (which I have found on Amazon or other sites, for example)?

Thank you very much for the help and information.

Best regards,
mathi_reg

If you had been hanging around here longer, you would also know: Garage prices are currently already at a pretty shameless level even for crappy standard garages, and you could also have read some posts about recessed ceiling spots (along with transformer housings and so on). Your garage could easily become as expensive as the Batmobile itself. What exactly is your equivalent value for this effort, apart from being a god to the neighbor boys? And what kind of DIY work would you be capable of? If you actually implement this crazy idea: I would also install sensors that use brightness control of the light fields to show you when the car is perfectly parked.

The Batmobile does not fit into this short garage at all; you always have to leave the gate open and therefore do not need any lighting...

Then at least install UV lamps, then the friends can come for group tanning

Hello mathi_reg

Build the garage 20cm higher. On the garage ceiling, you should attach LED light strips in the desired color. Then suspend the ceiling. 15cm and use acrylic glass as the ceiling material. That in white transparent. Then you have the effect. It's actually quite easy. You can do it yourself with a bit of skillful hands and little knowledge. Then it won't be expensive.

And it should be cheaper and more replaceable, take LED tubes instead of LED light strips. Or simply fluorescent tubes, which will be even cheaper than LED.
