All of the lighting in my garage is now LED. Years ago I remodeled my garage and installed six 6" recessed lights in the field of my garage, with four 4" recessed lights over my workbench. About a year ago I switched out the incandescent bulbs for cool white LED flood bulbs and significantly reduced the power consumption while vastly improving the lighting.

Doug, you should come by in the evening sometime to check it out. At full brightness I have great, white working light throughout the garage.

Recessed lights are great. The LED bulbs available now provide a bright, white light which is perfect for a shop or garage. The ones I bought were available at the local ACE Hardware, and were about $30 each bulb.

Incidentally, light fixtures with an integrated LED light are junk. I installed one in a bathroom and then removed it after about a week. Worse than a fluorescent for blinking and flickering. I replaced it with a recessed light fixture and an LED bulb similar to what I have done in the garage. Don't buy an "LED Fixture"---pure junk.
