How to Install Hexagon Lights That Actually Look Good and Last

You know that moment when you flick on the lights in your garage or gaming room and everything just feels... flat? Harsh shadows, dull brightness, or worse — the old buzzing fluoro. If you’re putting effort into your space, lighting deserves some love too. That’s where hexagon lights come in.

Not only do they look the part, but with the right setup, they’ll last ages and actually light your space properly. The best part? Installing them’s easier than you might think.

Why Hexagon Lights?

Let’s start with the obvious — they just look clean. Whether it’s a garage, home gym, gaming room, or studio, hexagon lights give your space a modern edge. But it’s not just for show. The shape lets you spread light evenly, cutting down on dark spots and glare.

At HexSpace, we’re car and garage lovers ourselves, so we built hexagon lights that we’d actually want in our own homes — strong frames, proper LED brightness, and modular layouts that suit real-life spaces.

What You’ll Need

Before you get started, here’s what you’ll want on hand:

A ladder or step stool (depending on your ceiling height)

A power drill and screws (for ceiling or wall mounting)

Measuring tape or laser level (to line everything up neatly)

The hexagon light kit (we include all connectors and wiring)

Access to a standard power outlet or wired connection

Don’t worry — you don’t need to be a sparkie. Just a bit of common sense and a steady hand.

Step-by-Step: Installing Hexagon Ceiling Lights

1. Plan Your Layout

Start by figuring out where you want the lights to go. Centre of the ceiling? Across a feature wall? You can go big with a full panel setup or just run a couple for accent lighting. Sketch it out or lay the panels on the floor first — that way you’re not second-guessing things mid-drill.

2. Mount the Frame

Use a level to mark where the frames will go. Drill pilot holes, then use screws to mount the panels. If you’re mounting into timber or a stud, great — otherwise, grab some wall plugs for extra hold.

3. Connect the Panels

HexSpace lights use a plug-and-play system, so once your frames are mounted, all you’ve got to do is link them together using the connectors provided. It’s dead simple — no special wiring tricks.

4. Plug It In

The kit comes with a power supply that connects straight to a standard outlet. If you want a cleaner finish, you can hardwire it (just get a licensed sparky for that bit). Otherwise, plug it in, flick the switch, and boom — done.

5. Fine-Tune the Vibe

If you’ve gone with RGB options, you can switch colours with a remote or app (depending on your model). Play around with brightness levels and colours until the vibe feels right.

Where These Lights Really Shine

They’re not just for garages — although we’ll be honest, that’s where we started. Here’s where Aussies are using their HexSpace setups:

Gaming Rooms: Build a proper backdrop for streaming or just make your space look better than your mate’s.

Workshops and Garages: Perfect light for detailing, tuning, or just showing off your ride.

Home Gyms: Bright enough to keep your motivation up, cool enough to make you want to actually use the space.

Studios and Barbershops: They give that polished, professional look without costing a fortune.

Aussie-Made and Backed by People Who Actually Care

We built HexSpace because we were sick of flimsy, overpriced gear that didn’t last. Our hexagon lights are made tough, ship locally, and we stand behind them. No mystery parts, no ridiculous wait times — just solid lighting that works.

We’re car lovers, DIYers, and garage nerds who wanted to make gear that felt worth the money. And if you ever get stuck, you’re not dealing with some offshore help desk. You’re talking to a real person who actually uses the stuff too.

Final Thoughts

Installing hexagon lights isn’t just about looks — it’s about building a space that works for you. Whether you’re turning a dull garage into a slick workspace or giving your gaming room a bit of flair, the right lighting makes a massive difference.
