upgrading lights in garage

[steveo2155]

I have a 25x26 garage that I would like to upgrade the lights in. It has 4 single bulb standard light fixtures in it. any recommendations for upgrading these? Debating between the screw in led 3 panel lights with the adjustable lights or wired in replacements. anyone have any input on the screw in replacements?

What kind of work are you wanting to do in there. I would not suggest the screw in LED 3 panel lights. Check out the first two threads in the lighting and electrical section

Some 4' fixtures with LED tubes would be easy to put up over the existing boxes. Easy to replace the tubes when they eventually go out too.

The 3 panel lights are awful. Get something linear.

why are the 3 panel lights so bad? also if I go with 4 of the 4 ft led light fixtures flush mount wired in, any specific recommendations?

I went with these and am happy with them. They had a Garage Journal discount when I ordered.

Well, they're bright, cheap and easy to screw in. But they are amazingly harsh and contrasty and make really dark shadows. You have to tilt them up to aim them where you want the light to go. When you tilt them up, they blast you in the eyeballs all the time.
Probably the dumbest design in the lighting industry in 50 years.

Remember that most home owners want bright, not right.
Great marketing design with good user feedback, as most users just want it bright.
