Lighting help needed...need ideas

[Distinctive-Garages.com]

Looking for garage lighting ideas. I'm leaning toward these from Westinghouse...cheap and seem to meet my requirenment to be different, ,good looking, and still very bright, I hope, but all they tell me is that it runs two bright Xenon bulbs. Has anyone seen them in use?

If you're using something different and unique for lighting, please show me!

I have service for two light fixtures currently without adding anything. What would you recommend for a two car garage that will be mostly a show space with lite work? Show me what you've got.

Thanks in advance.

The link didn't work for me.

I'm interested in the answer to your question as I am in the same boat as you: 2-car, service for 2 lights, need more...

You say two car, but what kind of dimensions? how high is the ceiling, kind of doors... will they interfere with lighting above them?, finish on the walls (bright and reflective, or unfinished or dull and dark?)

You said Westinghouse and Xenon and two bulbs, is this it?

Personally, I suspect you will be happier with some T8 fluorescent lights with good quality daylight bulbs in them.

Yes, that is it. My garage is 26 x 26 with 10' ceilings. I have a spot over each car that I thought these MIGHT be good and provide good light in a different and good looking package. But, I'd hate to buy and have the light be inferior to that from new, or even my current, flourescent fixtures.
