How high is the ceiling?
Will you be doing a lot of mechanical work in there or mostly just for storage? What’s your budget?
If you have a workbench and fixed in place machines you don't have to light the entire space super bright.
My garage is only 1/3 as big and I have 2 lighting circuits so I don’t have to have all the lights on at the same time. Personally, I like that better than using dimmers.
