Thanks Sterobian. The T-5's are much brighter but also much costlier ( I know, you get what you pay for) but it's substantial. Most of the research I've done indicate most people get by with the T8's and it's a big improvement over the old T12's for sure. Nevertheless, I'll think about going...

Building a new 36' X 40' X 12'6" H 3 bay garage for car collection. I'm thinking about having 4 - 4 light florescent T-8 fixtures along each side of the middle bay to light both sides of the car in the middle and 4 - 2 light fixtures on the wall sides to light the walls and the sides of the...

I will probably use 30' of the length for my car collection and the remaining 10' for general...

I'm in the process of building a 36X40 3 bay garage for my growing car collection. I want the option to add car lifts to double the capacity in the future should I lose my mind and buy more cars. What kind of lighting for the auto hobbyist should I buy? I am not a mechanic by any means and would...
