I got a nice metal 8x6 access box from McMaster for $17. It's just below the electrical panel, so it won't look out of place at all.

I think I found some good possibilities at mcmaster...thanks!!

I've already looked there. They don't have anything big enough...

I just finished my garage, and need an access box for the TV/internet cable(s) that feed through the wall. I've looked at Lowe's, Home Depot, electrical stores, and have even called DirecTV. They have smaller access boxes, but nothing big enough. This is what is on the outside of the house...

I think that the high bays have better light dispersion when mounted higher, but quite frankly I'm not running into any issues myself. The light is quite intense, which is great for the kind of work I do out there. They can be either chain mounted or direct mounted. It comes with a chain kit in...

It was almost 50 out yesterday, so I did a quick wash and snapped a few photos to check out the reflections of the new work: Same shot, but with the lights on, and a different exposure:
