What to check before you buy hexagon LED garage lights in Australia. Stock, compliance, what is in the box, layout, spare parts, brightness and build.
Hexagon garage lights turn the whole ceiling into the light. The best kits for an Australian garage have five things in common:
- In stock in Australia, ready to ship
- Made for Australian power: RCM marked, on an earthed 3-pin plug
- Everything in the box, suspension cables included
- A layout sized to your ceiling, around the roller door motor
- Spare parts on hand
ULTRABEAM by Sleek Space is stocked in Melbourne and ticks all five.
What a hexagon garage light is
It is a ceiling light made from LED tubes and angled connectors. The tubes click into the connectors to form a grid, most often a honeycomb of hexagons.
One light in the middle of a garage throws one hard shadow. A grid lights the same spot from many directions at once. The light reads even from corner to corner.
Eight things to check before you buy
1. It is in stock in Australia
Ask where the kit ships from and when. Made to order usually means it ships from overseas after you pay. ULTRABEAM is stocked in Melbourne and ships from Melbourne.
2. Everything is in the box
An ULTRABEAM kit arrives with:
- LED tubes and connectors
- Suspension cables
- Mounting hardware
- The power cord
There is nothing extra to order and there are no surprises.
3. The layout fits your ceiling
Garage ceilings have things in the way. A roller door motor, a rail or a beam. Use one of our designs or bring your own. We help you design a layout sized to your ceiling and around what is in the way.
4. Spare parts are on hand
Replacement tubes, connectors and the power cord are stocked individually. Your light can also grow later. Extend it, add a lit border or change the shape.
5. It is certified for Australia
Look for the RCM mark and an earthed 3-pin Australian plug. ULTRABEAM is RCM marked and EMC tested to AS/NZS standards.
It plugs into a standard power point, so there is no hardwiring. Want it wired to a wall switch for good? That part is a job for a licensed electrician.
6. Brightness and true colour
Compare kits on total lumens and total watts. Every ULTRABEAM kit lists both on its page. The Hex Classic 5-Grid wide kit puts out 17,000 lumens across a span 2.4 metres wide.
The light is daylight white at 6500K with a CRI of 85. Paint, timber and tools show as they really are.
7. It is built to last
ULTRABEAM has an aircraft-grade aluminium frame and a sealed lens. It uses 50,000 hour LEDs and carries a 5-year warranty.
8. It goes up in an afternoon
Lay the kit out on the floor and click it together. Plug it in and test it. Then lift it, mount it and plug it in for good. Bring a second pair of hands for the ceiling lift.
You need a drill, a screwdriver and a ladder. The light mounts flush to the ceiling or drops on the suspension cables. It works on plasterboard, concrete, timber and steel.
Which size do you need?
Measure the clear ceiling between the garage door rails. Then choose the kit whose footprint fits inside it.
| ULTRABEAM kit | Footprint |
|---|---|
| Hex Classic 3-Grid | 1.7 m x 1.7 m |
| Hex Classic 5-Grid wide | 2.4 m x 1.7 m |
| Hex Classic 8-Grid | 2.4 m x 2.5 m |
| Hex Classic 14-Grid | 2.4 m x 4.1 m |
| Hex Classic 18-Grid | 3.8 m x 3.3 m |

Hexagon is one shape of many
The hexagon is the classic look. The same tubes and connectors also make rectangles, diamonds, cubes and chevrons. ULTRABEAM is one system and the shape is your choice.
Who it suits
- Show garages. The whole ceiling becomes the light and the car becomes the feature.
- Workshops. Bright, even light across the bench with no dark corners.
- Detailing bays. Daylight white at CRI 85. See your paint as it really is.
- Home gyms. A clean, bright room you want to train in.
