Pretty excited. One of my customers works for a company that installs industrial lighting in factories and places that need to meet federal regulations. He got a hold of 2 4 ft tubes that are directional and said will give me 4-5 times more light than the LED's I have now in my garage. Will come with mounting plate etc and will mount flush to my ceiling. So, in a nutshell, I will have industrial lighting in my garage/detail shop. I'll post up some pictures once I get them up. They are super high quality and have a 10 year warranty.

You can never have enough light.

Neat! Adding three 8' high output fluorescent fixtures was the first upgrade I made to my garage. Looking forward to the before & after photos.
 
I subcribe and will follow up with this thread. 😊

My apologies. I forgot to update this thread. Previously I had 2 single LED 18 watt bulbs which were fairly bright. My garage/detail shop is 24x24. The new 4 ft tubes are 2 to 3 times brighter than what I had. You can see any and all imperfections in the paint on vehicles. They are directional so I have them turned to the middle of the shop where I detail. Very very happy! What a difference. I'm making custom covers for the boxes so don't mind that.

My ceiling is covered in fishing rods. I wouldn't have room to put more lights with our taking down some of the rod racks & I can't do that. I would love to have new lighting.
 
I am in the process of redoing my garage and putting up some 70 watt LED's. Here are a couple shots of how they look and one of before. None of the pictures show how bright it actually is in there now.

Wow! Those four lights are nice and bright!! Love the walls too.. You and your son did a great job.. Teamwork makes the dreamwork. I take it you did the lighting first, then the walls, then next is the floor. Good job!
 
Yes those lights are bright, each one has about the same output as a 4 tube florescent. The walls were defiantly 1st of which my son did pretty much everything except the 1st coat of paint and half the 2nd. The lighting isn't done yet even tho it is working I still have more wiring to finish up but is a little delayed since I have fallen off the ladder twice now and need a little recoup time, you could say I am plain clumsy.

For the floor I just don't know what I am going to use to patch with to get it nice and smooth before the epoxy coating. That just seems strange to me since I have worked 35 years in concrete construction it's just that I have been out of it for almost 15 years now.
