garage lighting

[ibal]

I built a 31x36 garage with 12' ceilings. I would like recessed lighting, or at least low profile ceiling mounted lights that are LED. Normal 4' LED lights do not light enough if the ceiling is higher than 8'. what lighten fixtures should i be looking at?
I like BRIGHTINWD 100 Watt Warm White LED High Bay UFO Lights 10000 Lumen, but i do not want to have them hanging from the ceiling. I want something to mount to the ceiling.

ibal,

Welcome to Garage Journal! I've got an Aunt that lives in Fairbank...

Here's how I did my 32' x 26' garage:

I used 9 4-ft LED shop lights and get a TREMENDOUS amount of light in my 13-ft ceiling garage. I screwed mine directly to the truss bottom chords, so they don't dangle at all.

Hope this helps.

Thanks BlueBomer, But why did you not just hard wire your lights in, instead of using an outlet?
I will have to check out what the lumens are on the 4' LED lights that i use at my shop. Because they do not put out enough light, if the lights are higher than 8' from the floor.

Small world. So your aunt lives in Fairbanks. I have been here for 30 years and own Fairbanks Fur Tannery.

Ooops--my aunt lives in Anchorage, not Fairbanks. Stupid lower-48er mistake...:-|

The lights I ordered were not designed to be hard-wired. I'd have still had a cord coming out the end of the light and into an outlet cover of some kind. I guess I could have saved the cost of an outlet, but they were cheap.
