Garage lighting suggestions

[chacho44]

Looking into new lighting for my 2 1/2 car garage. Currently have 6 4foot florescent lights but looking into some new brighter led bulbs or maybe replacing the whole fixtures. Any suggestions? I swear there was a post a while back about led bulbs. Garage pics, lighting links, or
tips on what to buy. Thanks MM

I switched my florescent lights over to LED bulbs, it made a big difference. Bought them at Lowe's, I got the ones that worked with or without ballasts and cut my ballasts out.

These go on sale every so often for like $17 I think. I bought one awhile back for my basement workshop space and it's super bright.

I was just going to copy/paste the harbor freight link... They work pretty good.

Before the LED lights were affordable I bought 6 high output florescent fixtures (8' dual bulb commercial grade). Its more than l needed but it's bright to say the least

I ordered these. Was a little hesitant because of how cheap they are. But i have had them installed for about a year now. They work awesome and are super bright!!! This is a six pack, but i bought and did an 8 pack. there is also a 12 pack that would be perfect size in my opinion for a 2 1/2 car garage.

Stupid question. 6 years ago when I bought my house I upgraded all the lights in my garage to (at that time) to the super bright T5's. It is still crazy bright in my garage, but can I just pop the energy sucking T5 bulbs out and pop on new LED bulbs in the current T5 fixtures or do I have to replace the whole fixture? Thanks

Usually you can just swap them out and bypass the ballast inside the fixture, some bulbs don’t even require removing the ballast.

I ordered T5 led NON ballasted bulbs from ebay a couple years ago since half my ballasts were bad and they've been great.
