Re-doing the ceiling and lighting in my 500 sq. ft. garage (actually it's a carriage house). When I did the lighting almost 20 years ago, I put up 4 incandescent lights, switched at the door, then wired up ceiling outlets, on a separate switch, for 9 four-foot fluorescent light fixtures. Back then, the thought was the incandescents come on immediately in cold weather vs. the fluorescents, and I switched them separately thinking there might be times where I was just ducking in to grab a tool and there wouldn't be a need to fire up all the lights for a 15 second trip in.
In practice, of course, I almost always just reach over and hit both switches.
I've replaced a few of the fluorescent fixtures with LED fixtures over the past few years, and will be using LED rather than fluorescent in the new lighting plan. Given their instant-on capabilities and low power draw, I'm thinking just leaving out the incandescent fixtures in this version. Any reasons not to that perhaps I'm missing?
