As you’ve probably guessed by now, that place is a man cave. There are many forms of them, it’s where you want to watch the most important game for the current MLB and NFL seasons (Go Baltimore Orioles and Ravens!) or Netflix and chill out in your most private place.

The landscape for these rooms is always changing but an aspect that for sure will always remain the same is their purpose. That room is for escaping daily life. Something that Let’s be REAL, you can’t avoid.

But one thing that you CAN avoid is improper lighting for your sanctuary as some of us called it. In this entry, we are gonna show you 5 light ideas that will add a special touch to your man cave.

Man Cave LED Lighting

Need to find the coolest light ideas for your man cave? Look no further!

Just because it is called a man cave does not mean it should be lit like dark and dingy space. We found that without decent enough lighting we could barely enjoy my own man cave as it is.

So, I knew I needed to do something unique to my man cave light features.

There are so many types of lighting types out there, it can get overwhelming. That’s why we wanted to share the most useful and unique methods we’ve discovered.

 

Track Lights for Man Caves

For starters, there is no way to lose with this classic. Tracking lights are your best friend in any type of man cave. You can use it to set the mood on your private minibar, to showcase sports apparel or posters (Remember those Raven Flags that were accumulating dust in boxes, well… you can showcase it in here).

Track lighting flexibility is king, they can also be used for your gaming room, home theater, your retro arcade, cigar room, whatever you can come up with. However, the biggest drawback they have is installation, but don’t worry there are several guides that follow you step by step in all the process.

For track lighting our recommendation is these Westgate track lights, these low wattage lights (10w) give you neutral lighting, not that strong, perfect when paired with colored bulbs, making it easier to adjust and properly highlight your standouts.

Strip Lighting

Get your head out of the gutter with strip lights from Lightingandsupplies.com!

Lots of people wonder why these lights have increased so much in popularity, but with the advances in modern lighting in houses, it’s natural to distance from LED downlights and classic bulbs and give priority to more nuance and hidden lighting that gives more freedom in your scenery.

That’s why strip lights have become one of the top choices for lighting options for all kinds of spaces. Naturally, with that in mind, including them in your man cave is a no-brainer.

Backlighting for your TV, Lounge lighting for your minibar, Game station lighting for your all-night session. Use Strip lights. With proper installation and tools, you can make them disappear and people coming into your room will question Where those lights come from?

As there’s too much that goes into strip lights, for this article we recommend these simple do-it-all RGB ones, they give you a plethora of color ranges to choose from and aren’t that hard to install.

But beware, always keep in mind, how much cable length do I need? and where do you plan to use it? How do I troubleshoot my LED Strip Lights? Answering those questions will do wonders not only for your budget.

BAR LED SIGNS

There’s no better way to welcome your man cave than a classic big and shiny neon BAR sign. Practically transports you and works as an instant mood changer, believe me, after a long week of work that tiny detail could make your man cave experience that much better.

Neon Bar Signs also are very bright so they can light up your bar almost alone (or your home theater) giving it a practical use that would benefit your lighting making your work easier.

In this article, we recommend this Vintage Bar Sign, this double-sided sign will make your entrance feel like an old tavern or a retro decor for your museum space.

This LED sign It’s very practical and doesn’t consume much wattage, also installation is very simple and comes with replacing bulbs, so you can forget about their possible issues burning out.

Lamps for the Cave

A decor tradition for any house still very relevant to your sanctuary, lamps come in all forms of shapes and are great for creating unique spaces or resembling known ones. How you can imagine a home bar without one of these or a pool bar without one of these

If your cove is going to be a thematic one, like for example a Sports Bar, then fan lamps not only will lighten up your space but fit perfectly with your decor. For example, this Sports Night Light will work amazing as a startup to highlight your sports apparel and memorabilia or give you a subtle late-night sports show feel.

But Lamps are not only for sports, there’s a huge variety in custom Lamps, even steampunk ones. So you can be sure you can find a Lamp that suits any dream place you want and if you’re very much into Baltimore Ravens this is a perfect addition.

Torch and Projectors
