[QUOTE="LSwat, post: 16549221, member: 90532"] I just did this dance in my garage, for me it came down to 2 options...... 1. The paddle LED lights that screw into standard light fixtures like a few folks have posted..... 2. The 4' or 8' tube style fixtures that go in overhead..... If you have the option to go with 1. (you need access into the ceiling above, like if you have an attic) that is the route I wish I could have gone, drill a few holes, put in a fixture/pull some wire, not really a big deal, it's cheap, and the lightning is great. 4 of these evenly spaced out would provide great light in a 2 car garage. You also can come off your garage door opener with one (less wiring to run) Option 2 is what I had to end up doing, little more expensive from what I was seeing, and definitely more of a PITA to measure out so it looks professional.....I would recommend the LED over the other style bulbs just because they operate at any temp (not sure how cold it gets by you). I ended up going with 6 of the 4' cheap LED style setups off amazon....it's a whole fixture, so once its burnt out, it all needs to be replaced...but they were less than 20$ each.... regardless of route you go, you can't go wrong as long as you're adding more lightning. If you do go with option 2....there's a very small difference between the 5k and 6k light temperature , i'd avoid anything under 5k personally. [/QUOTE]
