When storing tools, there are many considerations to make in regards to the way they are kept. Security, temperature, accessibility are all factors that need to be taken into account.

When considering the accessibility and ease of acquiring the tools, one of the major facets that will make for effective tool storage will be the lighting of the tools and the tool storage areas.

There are many ways you can light these areas. Listed bellow are some methods which can be used.

Strip lighting

Utilising large strip lights in the room the tools are kept in will not only illuminate the room, but with the large size of the lights, eliminate unnecessary shadows which may block visibility in work areas.

Spot lighting

Spot lighting is effective as there are many sizes and models of lights, all of which can be used specifically for varying requirements. For example, small, mobile spot lights can be useful for lighting enclosed storage areas.
