Any ideas out there for inexpensive lighting options for a garage? Leds are really starting to be a great option as they have gotten cheaper but they can be pricey anyone found the magic bullet?

T8 32 watt fixtures from home depot. Works great on the Porsche side of the garage even when it's below freezing. Other florescent fixtures will flicker and give off little to no light.
If you need help wiring them up let me know. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...7&hl=lights Attached image(s)

I need to move some lighting around and add some so I can build the best headers and oil tanks possible.. I guess my eyes are getting old |
