Help with Garage Lighting

The lighting in my garage is poor. Below is a sketch (sorry it's so poor) of my garage. It's 34' long by 20' wide. Currently there are 3 fixtures in the garage, but I can only use 2 of them because the garage door opener is right below the third. The current lighting is shown in BLACK. I basically have one 75 watt bulb in each fixture. I do most of my work around where the car is close to the door, so I am pondering putting in two 4' florescent light fixtures (shown in blue). Each fixture will hold two T12 or T8 bulbs. The ceilings are low (6'10") so I won't get huge amount of flood effect from the lights. Do you think that will be enough to light up the front area of the garage?
