Garage
I have considered a white ceiling or reflectors. However the T-8 fluorescents do a good job lighting my garage as is.

What I want to do is add more fixtures over my work bench area. I tried, as you see in my pic above, to install LED flood lights. Turns out the LED flood lights are not as bright or efficient as the T-8s I have in the rest of my garage, even though they are directional flood lights. I was very disappointed.

I have searched and so far have not found a better alternative to the 4' T-8 fluorescent fixtures. I am not looking for hanging corded "shop lights", but hardwired ceiling lights.

I was hoping you all would steer me to an LED fixture that is cost effective and would complement the T-8s I already have installed.
