doing custom lighting in garage

I was thinking of switching all my lights in the garage to these lights http://www.plasmaled.com/household_led_light_bulb.htm

I was thinking with all the costs in everything going up and me in my garage every night, might do some good?

These LED lights are very poor quality. They burn out quickly, and don't provide much light output (they are intense, but the light doesn't fill out).

In my garage, I have 6 light fixtures that are dual 4' T8 lamps with electronic ballasts. About 64 watts per fixture, and extremely bright. Still, 384 watts is a lot of juice, but it's very worth it because these fixtures have no shadows and very intense light output.
