Finally Finished - NEW garage lighting!

It was about time. Before I had only 2 four bulb fixtures over my detailing side of the garage and it was such a pain to work with. I couldnt see much and everything looks great under that light until your brought it out in the son and saw streaking etc. Now I should be good...

I originally picked out Duro Test bulbs but I was told they no longer make them so I landed on this setup instead.


4 8ft' 4 bulb fixtures + 1 4ft 4 bulb fixture all with 75 watt 96" T12 5,000K slimline fluorescents. At first the electricians installed 60watt bulbs and the garage was super well lit but I needed more and asked if they had anything whiter and brighter so they went and got the 75watts instead and re-installed them, now my garage is well lit and super bright.

I know you guys like pics...

This is what I was working with before, ony 2 fixtures with low watt bulbs and they had covers on them!




Now I have these, the idea was to have 8ft fixtures shining on all four sides of the car.
