Folks,

I'm building a 24' wide by 28' deep garage/workshop. Looking for recommendations on what kind of general purpose overhead lighting I should go with and how to space the lights. The ceiling is 10' 6".

I'm primarily interested in workspace lighting quality as opposed to decor...

I'm currently considering using 4 X 8' high output, 2 bulb (T12 - 110W) fluorescent strips. Not sure how I should orient them (parallel to the the cars or perpendicular). I also don't know if four will be sufficient. I need cold start ballasts as well.

I appreciate your recommendations/input.
