I have a double garage that came with 6 PAR20 50W halogens...not bright enough. When I add in the two incandescents on the door opener, it's *just* bright enough.
Recessed pot lighting looks nice, but it's not really bright enough to be functional unless you have a ton, which is extremely wasteful. I hate the thought of several hundred watts of power being flicked on by a single switch.
If I could do it from scratch, I would definitely load up on fluorescent tubes . Bright, power friendly, and for best for car enthusiasts, as fluorescents will show paint defects very readily, so you can properly detail a car.
THE IMPORTANT THINGS IN LIFE:
N/A, 8000RPM REDLINE, CLOSE RATIO MANUAL, RWD, LSD
AE86, S2000, E46M3
Scratch that...fat, boost, AWD, DSG
