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?

I bought a TON of the 4 foot, two bulb plug in fluorescent fixtures from Home Depot, the ones that use the smaller diameter modern bulbs. I always wait for a sale, I think they are $11 bucks or so....cheapest one in the store.
It came down to cost for me, I needed a lot of lighting and I can keep buying them till I am happy.....I also bought two cases of bulbs. Works perfect, it's nice and bright and it actually works OK in 20 degree weather. This one http://www.homedepot.com/p/Lithonia-Lighti...LIGHT/203081577 Rich |
