Lighting Options

[burnurass]

I really need to setup lighting in my garage. All i'm using right now is the Garage Opener light (2bulbs)....lol.

What is the optimal placement setup for lighting? Florescent is probably what I'm going to get.

Pics of lighting setup would be nice too

Thanks!

I know I run a 4 foot long fluorescent bulb setup (the dual bulb lamp). I have it hanging from the ceiling above the headlights of the vehicle, so when the hood is up, you have light on the engine. I also have a drop light that I use for the hard to see areas.

definitely 48" fluorescent light fixtures, go to a hardware store. theyre $10-$20 per fixture, a couple bucks a bulb, and theyre cheap and efficient to operate. they have hanging kits and everything

I picked up 4- 48" dual light kits at Home Depot over the weekend. They are all-weather ballasts...guaranteed to fire down to 0 degrees. They were $20 each, and came with all hanging hardware. I had to buy the bulbs seperately. I got a 10 pack of bulbs. I got all 4 of them hung, and I'm thinking of maybe going back for 2 more. With all 4 turned on, it's almost like daytime inside the garage now.

I went with 3 8' footers for my garage. Its not really a big garage, but the light output you get from an 8' footer is alot better then the 4 footers

Does any one have pics?

You can install the roof lights inside the car on the top of the seats, so one can easily on/off the individual lights with LED type lighting.
