[bizkit10]

Do you guys buy from the big box stores, or?

Thanks

I always get mine from Lowes.

Travis which one of there's would you recommend? Never bought lighting before and I'm building my own additon to my existing 30x40. My addition will be 25x40. Any and all help on lighting will be greatly appreciated!

That's all fine and dandy but it's hard to find all made in the USA. So many of the parts and pieces are made overseas and may be assembled in the USA. With that said I personally like Metalux and Lithonia brand. Lowes sells a lot of the Utilitech brand junk.... oh I meant stuff.

I am very happy with the Metalux 8ft. 4 lamp T8 fixtures I bought at Lowes...no radio noise from them at all.Good price also with a 10% off coupon

Anyone ever use the 'cloud' lights in a garage? It's mainly for car storage so I'm not extremely worried about light output. I'll have 4 qty. of 4' x 4 bulb in a 24' x 26'.
I figure they'd be pretty easy to keep clean - an occasional wipe of the cover, but no getting in and cleaning individual bulbs or anything.

I think this is the best bang for the buck. Good price and they have a Sylvania ballast, which seems to be pretty reliable.
