Message	My garage has sorta high ceiling 12' on one side and 9' on the other. I ended up with 10 8ft high output T12 bulbs. It's bright enough when I work in the garage. Still have to use service light under the car obviously. I think I might want to paint the garage white so it's even brighter. You can never have enough light when working in the garage LOL!
