Rewiring Garage Lights

My current main panel for my house (located in the garage) is maxed out and I want to put new lights up in my garage. I plan on running a new dedicated 20 amp circuit for the lights. When we bought our house there was another main panel outside. This is another 200 amp panel with its own meter. It's used to run the pump and light for our in-ground pool, a/c unit and thats it. I would like to put the garage light circuit in this panel and would like to know the best way to pass the wires through from the outside to the inside. It will be run through conduit. I am planning to run through the wall using LB conduit bodies. Is this good or is there another option?

Thanks fro the help

Off topic, but is your current panel really maxed out insofar as maybe you could use a double breaker? (if the panel allows it yadda yadda)

Is it logistically better like a shorter distance to use the pool subpanel?

The main panel is maxed out in that it actually has multiple double breaker(not my doing.) I plan on updating the main panel next summer, so I need a solution till then. The outside panel meter is directly next to the meter that services the indoor panel and the panel is adjacent to it, so the distance is the same either way.
