- Ceiling height ≤2.7m (standard home ceiling): stick to 30–40W

- Ceiling higher than 3.6m: choose 50–60W
Bonus tip
Many new 4ft wraparounds have selectable wattage (30/40/50W) on a dip switch. This is the most flexible option, you can adjust brightness after installation.
1.Room type (garage/office/store etc.)
Let’s simplify the recommendation for home:
- Hallway / Laundry / Pantry → 30W
- Garage / Basement / Kitchen (most common pick) → 40W
- Hobby workshop / Large basement → 50W
If you can get the 30/40/50W switchable model, it’s ideal. You can dial brightness up or down later without changing lights.
2.Ceiling height & room approximate size (length × width)
Extra advice
- Ceiling under 2.7m (regular home height): 40W is perfectly bright for daily use, vehicle maintenance, cooking.
- If you have a dedicated workbench and ceiling above 2.7m, upgrade to 50W.
- Prioritize the 30/40/50W tunable wattage version if available; super flexible.
Quick color temperature suggestion:
- 4000K (neutral white) → best for garage/kitchen, true color visibility
- Avoid 3000K warm yellow for work areas

Target brightness for garage/work area: 100–150 lux
Simple formula
Room area (㎡) = length × width
1 fixture covers roughly 12–15 ㎡ for comfortable working light
Quick reference
- ≤12㎡ → 1 light
- 12–25㎡ → 2 lights
- 25–38㎡ → 3 lights
- 38–50㎡ → 4 lights
If ceiling higher than 2.7m, add +1 fixture.
