We learned by experience that the wall and ceiling color have a lot to do with how well you can light up a garage or any building. When we bought our summer house the inside of the garage was a real dark color, the lights just died. We painted it white and presto the same lights did twice as much good. Anyhow to your question on what kind of lights to use. The garage I just spoke of has common incandesants and my woodshop with 9 ft. ceilings has twelve of the "Curly Fry" flourescents (75's???) in an 18X46 room and do real good. In the storage part of the shed the ceiling is 16ft. and the little "Curly's" just don't do it so I used common 200W clear bulbs and the are not perfect but adequate. Frank.
