i have a standard 3 car garage, it came with a 3 light sockets, i replaced 2 of them with dual t8 light assemblies and left the third alone, i think i need to add probably 3 more light assemblies to brighten up the garage, im wondering if i need to change anything with the electrical or if i can daisy chain the lights, the garage breakers are split between 2 circuits for each garage door opener, any input would help, great with electrical just havnt done any house wiring, also wondering if there is a better alternative to the t8s that will be brighter and wont cost alot more because it seems like alot of those bulbs burn out during the winter cuz its cold in colorado

You need to verify whats on each circuit before putting in more lights. Usually lights and receptacles are on separate circuits. You will probably find that you can add the lights but it's best to check the loads to make sure you don't too much on one circuit. Post the size of the circuits and what's on them.
