Custom Hexagon Garage Lighting Installation in St. George, UT
Haven Home Solutions provides custom electrical and lighting installations throughout St. George, helping homeowners create spaces that are not only functional but built for how they actually live and work. This case study highlights a large-scale hexagon-grid lighting installation in a detached RV garage and gym, designed to deliver bright, high-quality lighting for everyday use and content creation.
The Problem: A Space That Needed More Than Basic Lighting
This wasn’t your average garage setup.
The homeowner had a large detached RV garage, about 1,800 square feet with tall, 16-foot ceilings. The front portion held a car and a boat, while the back had been turned into a home gym.
Plenty of space. Just not the right lighting.
As a content creator, he needed more than a couple of bright bulbs overhead. Lighting plays a big role in how everything looks on camera: shadows, clarity and even the overall feel of the space. What was there before just wasn’t going to get it done.
So instead of trying to work around it, he decided to upgrade it completely with hexagon-grid lighting.
The Challenge: Design, Power, and Precision
Hex lighting looks clean when it’s done right. When it’s not, it stands out immediately.
This project required more than just mounting fixtures. It involved careful planning, electrical upgrades, and exact alignment across a large, open space.
We installed four separate hexagon lighting clusters, each designed to operate independently. Two of those sections were positioned beneath garage doors, which made the layout even more critical. There’s no room for guesswork when everything is this visible.
We spent a full day mapping out placement to ensure:
- Even light distribution across both the garage and gym areas.
- Clean, symmetrical alignment.
- A layout that looked intentional from every angle.
Because once these lights are on, they become the focal point of the entire space.
The Electrical Side: Powering a High-Load Lighting System
These aren’t standard light fixtures you pick up at a hardware store.
Each hex lighting cluster draws a significant electrical load, far more than a typical residential lighting circuit is designed to handle. To ensure the system's safety, we installed two new dedicated 20-amp circuits, providing each section with a reliable, code-compliant power source.
Then came the control system.
The homeowner already had a lighting control setup in place and wanted everything integrated. The challenge? The existing controllers couldn’t handle the load from the new fixtures.
So we adapted.
By incorporating additional relays inside the existing control enclosure, we were able to:
- Maintain full compatibility with the current system.
- Allow each lighting cluster to be controlled independently.
- Prevent overload and protect the controller from damage.
It’s the kind of behind-the-scenes work that most people never see, but it’s what keeps everything running smoothly.
The Installation: Working Through Tight Access Without Cutting Corners
Running new circuits in this space wasn’t straightforward.
Access to the attic above the garage was originally blocked. To reach it, we carefully cut through the roof sheeting between different roof pitches and navigated tight attic spaces to get where we needed to go.
All of that was done while keeping the finished space intact. No unnecessary drywall cuts. No visible wiring. Everything stayed clean and concealed.
The full project took five days to complete.
The Result: A Space That Performs and Stands Out
The transformation is immediate when you walk in.
The lighting is bright, even, and sharp, exactly what’s needed for filming content, working on projects, or training in the gym. Each section can be controlled independently, giving the homeowner flexibility depending on how the space is being used.
And visually? It’s hard to miss.
The hex grid layout draws attention the moment you step inside, creating a space that feels both functional and high-end. The homeowner was thrilled with the final result and has already asked us to design lighting to highlight a mural in the gym.
