my garage has 2 double flourescent "fixtures".
both are about 4" from the ends of the garage, so that if I back in, or nose-in, I can get the lights right over the engine-bay.
I also have a small contractors light (200W, I think), that I tote around like most would use a drop-light. it can hang from the roof-beams, or set on the floor. the beam is big, and bright, so it will fill-in any gaps that theroof-lighting might leave.
of course, I have a little pen-light that is worth it's weight in gold, because no matter how many over/under lights you have, you almost ALWAYS need light where you can't get it.
it ain't much, and it's a mess in this picture because the Eclipse was in it for 1.5 yrs, but you get the idea.
This is where all the magic happens:

Covers = dead bug collectors.
If anthing, just get the shatter-resistant tubes, and call it a day.

Use some T5 fluorescent lights, that should brighten it up.
http://www.ultraluxlight.com/?gclid=CIPr3Yqkh54CFcgn2god10c-og
We installed six of the serpentine shaped lights in place of the regular 400 watt lights, and it was almost blinding one for one. They went back and took three down, and it's still brighter than the six 400 watt old lights.

Covers = dead bug collectors.
If anthing, just get the shatter-resistant tubes, and call it a day.
For the lights over my workbench, I bought clear tubes that slip over the bulbs, they have caps on the ends, so bugs won't be getting in there, and I doubt they'll keep the bulb from shattering, but at least they'll hold all the shards.
After having some mediocre setups in the past I did the electric in my new garage right (well, as good as I could). Subpanel out to the garage, 100A circuit for the big TIG (not pictured), lights and outlets on separate circuits, so when you're running a grinder or something, and pop a circuit, the lights don't go out, etc.
I wanted to get booth style lighting in the walls, but real booth lights are very expensive. Apparently they're "explosion proof" due to the fumes in a spray booth. I don't spray in the garage, but just wanted nice lighting on the sides of the car. It's nice being able to do brake/suspension work and not need a drop light that's always in the way.
Here's the garage just after it got dropped off. It's 12x40, with the last 10' separated to use as a tool room. It's nice to have the compressor out of the work area. After working in there for a few years, I wish I went for the 14' wide. an extra foot on each side would be nice.
I insulated with normal fiberglass insulation except where I was putting in the lights I used a product called "Reflectix" behind the lights. It's pretty much foil backed bubble wrap. I figured it would both insulate and reflect light.
After paneling:
You can see how well it lights up the side of whatever's in the garage.
I added diffusers over the lights. I don't think it helps the light quality at all, but it finishes it off, and once I slipped and kind of fell into the diffuser, cracking it, but it may have kept me from falling into the lights. The diffuser is much cheaper to replace, and isn't going to cut someone if thy fall into it.
This pic was just in the same folder. It's my "what not to do" shop safety poster. Unchained bottles, jumbled, loose hoses and cables, dirty workbench, but look how well the side of the Corvette is lit!
Along with the 4 in-wall lights, I have 6 fixtures in the ceiling, and 2 over the workbenches at the back of the garage. My advice is to install double the amount of lights you think you might need, you can always turn a few off. You pretty much can't have to much light, and the fixtures are cheap to both buy and run.

Corvette is my old '72 barn find. This is how I found it, in an actual barn.
4 speed, factory AC, nicely optioned.
Wound up selling it as a half done project. There's now a '65 Mustang fastback sitting in it's place.

I ordered two of these this morning...
Designers Edge Diamond Plate Pro Series Plus Shop Light
They are only four feet, but I think they will work just fine in my garage on either side of the car.
Speaking of recycling old florescent tubes, what is one supposed to do with them? I've had an eight footer sitting in the garage for over a year that I just don't know what to do with.
I know that the real threat of them is the mercury vapor gas or something that is released when they are broken. I'm thinking of putting it in a garbage bag and breaking it outside down wind from me or something. At least that way it would fit in the garbage can.

Oh yeah, I forgot to show this to you guys...
It is a vertical florescent worklight and costs $39.98. It says in the details that it is 63 inches tall. Looks like it could come in decently handy. I found it on the Lowes website.

Il UGGS Outlet regarda dans Nike Tn Requin Pas Cher le trou Nike Roshe Run creusé Nike Air Max Cheap par le prospecteur, günstige nike schuhe y retro jordans for cheap préleva quelques batées, Nike Air Women qu’il lava lui-même, et nike sneakers offrit coach factory outlet online sur-le-champ à Marcus O’Brien Pandora Outlet Store dix mille nike sportschuhe dollars, Cheap Air Max pour tous droits présents Ugg Pas Cher Femme et à venir.

Pour les UGG Boots Cheap cinq mille Reebok Outlet Store autres, il lui reconna?trait une demi-part Air Max 90 de Nike Polo Sale gains dans son entreprise de UGGS For Women jeu.
Marcus O’Brien refusa l’offre.

Cheap Toms Outlet Store Le reebok running shoes pharaon Cheap Michael Kors Tote Bag ne l’intéressait pas et, Nike Shox discount Sale au surplus, il ジョーダン スニーカー estimait christian louboutin outlet que son Cheap Real Jordans filon 23 IS BACK Store valait Nike Shoes Online plus Jordan Store de nike mercurial soccer cleats dix mille dollars.
Le second Canada goose dam événement zapatillas nike baratas important scarpe nike de la journée Nike Air Shoes se produisit dans l’après-midi, lorsque Siskiyou Pearly amarra son Abercrombie and fitch store bateau sur la Chaussure Nike Pas Cher rive du Jordan Sneakers For Sale Yukon, Air max levně devant Nike Kyrie Red Cow.

TOMS OUTLET Il Boost Yeezy Sale On Line amenait Chaussure Nike Air Max Pas Cher en plus, dans TOMS STORE son bateau, une demi-douzaine de tonneaux Nike Huarache Womens Cheap de whisky, tous nike sb stefan janoski adressés à Jim le Frisé.
Les hommes de Red Canada Goose Outlet Cow converse store quittèrent Adidas Yeezy Cheap leur Discount Ray Ban Sunglasses travail. Ils dégustèrent Vans Black Sneakers le Canada Goose Womens Coats whisky, à Soccer Boots Outlet nike un dollar Pandora Style Beads le verre, celui-ci Ugg boots Sale pesé sur Toms Factory Outlet les Michael Kors Clearance balances de Jim le Frisé, et ils discutèrent des nouvelles du journal.
Et tout Uggs For Cheap se serait admirablement Christian Louboutin Shoes Outlet passé, si Jim le Ugg Pas Cher En France Frisé n’avait con?u le projet Scarpe Nike Scontate diabolique de saouler Nike Air Sneakers Marcus Air max dam O’Brien, Michael Kors Outlet puis de profiter Pandora Store de son ébriété pour Canada Goose Outlet lui acheter Cheap Nike Huarache son filon.
Ce plan, Nike Online Store au début, marcha ugg factory outlet comme sur des roulettes. Il Nike Shox Cheap re?ut son exécution Scarpe Air Max dès le début Nike Air Pas Cher de la soirée et, Adidas Soccer Cleats Cheap à neuf New Nike Shoes heures Jordan Shoes For Cheap du nike shoes soir, Marcus O’Brien Discount TOMS chantait toms shoes outlet à tue-tête. nfl store Il fitflops sale uk s’accrochait à Nike Shoes Discount Marketplace Jim le Chaussure Air Max Frisé, en lui passant son Louboutin Wedding Shoes bras Moncler Sale autour du Mens Nike Air Max cou, et Pandora Store même il n’hésita point à entamer la Nike Air Max Goedkoop fatale Coach Bags On Sale chanson des petits oiseaux qui, Moncler Jackets Discount Marketplace un mois new pandora charms avant, avait cheap uggs for women co?té ADIDAS NMD SALE ON LINE la vie Negozi Pandora au pauvre Ferguson. Peu importait maintenant, puisque pandora beads l’homme Adidas Neo Discount Sale aux Nike Factory Outlet oreilles trop nike air délicates, qui avait Nike Air Max Sale tué par louboutin heels amour Doudoune Moncler Femme Pas Cher de l’art, était parti sur le Yeezy Black Yukon, qui Zapatillas Nike Air Max Baratas l’avait emporté à The official UGG la Nike Outlet vitesse de cinq Yeezy Men milles à l’heure. Il était certainement Jordan Shoes Air loin Coach Outlet Store Online à Moncler Outlet présent ugg clearance !
Mais la seconde partie de Moncler Outlet Online la Christian Louboutin Heels combinaison ne répondit point au succès de la première.

Il y avait des moments, sans doute, nike tn pas cher où O’Brien Cheap Air Max Trainers hésitait, et un tremblement s’emparait de lui, lorsqu’il se sentait UGG BOOTS FOR WOMEN sur le point TOMS For Sale de céder. Boutique Ugg Mais, Descuentos Nike quel ugg store que f?t le Nike Free Run 5.0 Womens trouble Nike joggesko de womens nike air max ses idées, il chaussure basket homme ne laissait Nike Air Damen point son Adidas Superstar cerveau battre la Nike Air Jordan 11 campagne botas de futbol plus Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 For Sale qu’il ne convenait.
