Hate flourescents? :rolleyes: OK! See them flicker hey Superboy?
Anyway, the import stores all have halegon "shop lights" that have little 3" long bulbs of high wattage at each end of a 4ft fixture tube. They don't flicker in cold and are pretty bright. I have more to put up someday. My whole garage interior is painted white and I mean Glossy too for easier cleaning, like if I do that!
I have various switches so all lights aren't on unless I want them to be. AND, good idea to have some seperate lite/outlet circuits in case you "blow" a breaker and won't be left in complete darkness. I have high wide windows too, so to let light in and still be higher to have walls to use for things. Kinda like a basement window, just bigger. I like the skylight idea above, and like the fiberglass panels seen on some barn roofs to let in light. Can't insulate with the panels though. White paint made biggest easiest difference in mine. I also like the flourescents on the high wall idea. Your hoods, and garage door and other stuff blocks the overhead lites all the time. Might have to try that one. I also use halogen light on cord and small stand for under trucks and tight spots. Import places have those in single or double on high stands too. Gotta get some of those too someday. Storage is problem when not using on that kinda stuff.
HD bulbs are just bulbs rated at 130 volts and you run on 120 volts, don't get full wattage out of them yet they burn easy as too low of power to them. Plus they have heavier glass too.
