Hello everyone,

we have a detached double garage that is still in the shell construction phase. The flat roof (solid concrete) overhangs about 30cm on two sides. Once the depth of 8m and once the width of 6m (front side). During the shell construction, I had planned a groove here (about 2.5cm wide and 1.5cm deep) to lay a cable or LED strip, see sketch. Also, at two corners there is an empty box with empty conduit as a supply line from the sub-distributor.



What kind of exterior lighting would you recommend here? Would an LED light strip even make sense or would you hardly notice it because the facade hardly gets any light? The entire facade as well as the roof overhang have not yet been plastered, which is why I am still thinking about the lighting.

All the technology has not yet been planned, as my electrician is still on vacation. However, I would already like to make a few considerations in advance. The double garage is about 26m from the main house (main distributor). The garage should get its own sub-distributor + possibly a wallbox + possibly 2 decentralized fans (whether with or without heat recovery is still to be decided) + electric garage door + about 4-5 sockets + lighting. Therefore, the cross-section of the supply cable will certainly be important here, or possibly even better to choose a slightly larger cross-section. The electrician would have to say or calculate. But which direction would the cross-section tend to go? 10mm², 16mm² or more

What do you need the lighting for? Do you have some kind of paved courtyard where you want to work in winter? Or do you just want to show the whole neighborhood what a great garage you have?

If I had one, I wouldn’t sit there, no. Maybe if I were a tinkerer, but then I would need a completely different lighting than if not. But maybe the OP has a completely different hobby and paints 2x3m canvases with acrylic there? What I do not endorse are light pollution crimes just for the sake of appearance or self-presentation, preferably all night long... We now live in times where you really have to think twice whether it’s really necessary.

if you want to see how wavy finished plaster is, illuminate it from above or the side. The garage is not the Cologne Cathedral, so don’t do that, the insects will thank you.
