The garage thread

What about the garage? I would like your advice on the working area.

What is the best lightening? Fluorescent light seems to most used but is it the best "bang for buck"?

What do you use to store your product? Does a mechanic tool box have any use? Which material for cabinets?

Are ceiling fans and dehumidifiers useful?

Should the floor stay bare on the cement?

How did you placed/arranged your garage for efficiency?

I like daybrights myself. I have 18 bulbs total in my garage,looks like a NASA landing strip at night with door open. LOL but not overly bright to work in. I have sodium halide spot tripods for corection work. I use one at a time with rest of garage as dark as I can get it. Polishing in the dark with a spotlight on works the best for me until I roll the car out into full sun for inspection. I hope to replace them all with LEDs in the near future.
