New here, obviously, and I spent a couple three hours reading threads on lighting. I had recently purchased a eight or nine T-12 strips for my basement
and I was going to do the same for the garage until I found you guys.
I hate you.
What was going to cost me about $50 ($10 each for five, two bulb 4' strips) just cost me nearly 10 times that!
It's a two car garage with about a 10 foot ceiling.
I went with four T-5 strips (MADE IN USA): http://www.warehouse-lighting.com/item/107861/4-Foot-T5HO-Industrial-Strip-Light-Fixture.aspx. It's a 4' two bulb T-5 strip. And I purchased a small case (25 bulbs) for another $100. I'll use the bulbs as I replace some of the T-12 units in my basement.
Thanks. I think!
