Show off your garage lighting with a description. So many lighting questions coming up all the time and what not. Everyone has a better idea than the next guy, so they think. Let's keep the debates down to a minimum.

^^^this is a work of art!
love how you have the garage door tracks hugging the ceiling,
and those lights are sleek!

Thanks. We were doing an interior demo and I just couldn't trash these lights and so I found a good home for them. I found out later that these fixtures are around $1100 to $1500 per 8 footer new. :thumbup:

Jim, are those plywood sections on you wall sound baffles?

If they are, how effective are they?

thanks

15 4 tube double ballast fixtures on 4 switches provides up to 180+ lumens sq ft
It is actually brighter than it looks due to camera compensation
