Done installing my new lights. Here are my before/after photos. I went from 2 incandescent light bulbs with CFL 6500K bulbs in them 75W equivalent to 6 of the 8ft tandem t8 fixtures with 5,000K bulbs. Love the light output of these and now I have plenty of light to fill my 21x28 3 car garage...

The fixture uses QTY four 4 ft bulbs, not the long 8ft bulbs. This is what i'm installing http://www.homedepot.com/p/Lithonia-Lighting-Tandem-4-Light-Flush-Mount-Ceiling-Electronic-Fluorescent-White-Strip-Light-TC-2-32-120-1-4-GESB/100192753#.UYKc8so9lSE

I'm installing 6 t8 fixtures today in my 21x28 garage. Going to remove the 2 existing incandescent bulbs and put these in place of those. They are the 96" 8ft strip lights from home depot. I also went with the 5,000k 2,850lumen t8 bulbs for light output.

So the lumen output is 4,000 for this LED fixture, whats the average lumen output of the equivalent T8 system? I would prefer LED as I have switched most of my light bulbs in our house to LED from CFL and all my flash lights are LED including all the offroad lights on my Jeep are LED light bars...

Why do you feel the leading edge of price falls is within a few months? Is there something in the market giving signs?

So did you end up buying the LED or going with the T8 fixture?

How much was this LED lighting? I'm doing my garage lighting soon and looking at LED lights as well. Just curious the cost of this and what the part number was from home depot?

Thanks I like to keep it simple and everything out of sight. The cabinets are a nice piece and allow me to put everything behind closed doors. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

Here is a link to the product. It's True Lock + Premium Rib Drain Garage Tile from a Garage Flooring LLC which is a vendor on this forum. Contact Justin for pricing and forum discounts. I just changed the diff fluid in my Jeep today and got nasty smelly thick diff fluid on the tile and it...

Thanks!

Hello all, i'm a fairly new member and just finished a big chunk of my garage and thought I would share it with you all. I'm located in sunny Arizona and own a 3 car garage. We have a large craigslist scene here in AZ and I got lucky and scored around 1,000 sq ft of used True Lock Plus Premium...

A spy shot of my new workbench that just got installed. Can't wait to finish the tile trim, clean the garage and then get some good photos to post up. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
