The amount of light from a light is reduced by the square of the distance. With your ceiling height, this becomes a problem. Use a T8 Tube fluorescent light similar to what Griot's has (www.griotsgarage.com). Also the amount of light you need is dependent on your age also. What you could see when you were 20 (50W) will require 150W at the age of 60. I didn't buy the Griot's lights but found similar lights from a commercial lighting distributor. I have a 13' ceiling height in one bay and 10' ceiling height in the other two. I added more lights to the 13' to counter the issue of distance. I do not have any problems with enough light at the age of 62 with these types of lights.
