Not Ranked
I checked my gallery and I know I deleted most all pics of my garage so I do not have any to show you. But in essence, I use about 4 double bulb flourescent flush mount unit (the new style with the thin bulbs and no hum) per bay in the middle right about where the corners of a large car would be, and incadescent cans over the work bench. I have not had a single complaint other than I would maybe run a flourescent over the work bench for more even light. The flourescents over my lift bay are easily 20 feet plus in the air, and do the job quite nicely. Skylights are good for daytime lighting, but here in the south the UV will quickly fade an interior and deteriorate plastic so if you do them, get some shades for them. I am actually going to put a shade on the one ground floor window to lessen UV infiltration and for privacy/security. You can get a kind that you use a pole with a hook on it to grab a ring on the end of the cord to raise and lower--I have them in my house. Good luck with your project and feel free to reach me via PM or do a search on some of the other garage builds for ideas.
