I have a two car garage that the previous homeowner had built. The rafters are tapered to match the roof line. Previous owner installed 8 standard 4' florescent light fixtures by laying them on top of the rafters . So at some point in time in the spring I plan on redoing this mess. I don't ever plan on doing bodywork so my lighting needs fall into the general category. Would you guys stay with the flor. or something else ? Any advantage to going to the T6 ( I think ? ) type vs. the 4' two pin style ? My ceilings are quite high so I plan on lowering whatever fixtures I go with. What is considered a good height from the floor for lights ? I have roll up garage doors so they are not in the way. Yes energy consumption is part of the equation but good lighting is the main goal. I will say the current lighting is not bad and I think would be better just by lowering the fixtures by 4-5 feet. Any advice is appreciated.
