Help with lighting plze

[DogRescuer]

Hi guys Im still working on my garage/man cave/doghouse and I need help with lighting. I now have a basic overhead light that has 2 bulbs but I want and need more light. Can I just put some high powered bulbs up there using that same fixture? I really want bulbs that I can use for paint correction, please help with descriptions.

How big of a space? I have a 2 car with 7 lights total, and its still sometimes not enough.

A set of halogen lights that you can move around the vehicle are key to not spending too much money.

I only have 1 fixture to use for a 1 car garage I guess what im asking is can I jjust replace the bulbs with halogens?

It depends on the fixture type. If its a flourescent, I don't know. I replaced mine all with 5000k bulbs, and it made a noticeable difference

Nice set up!:xyxthumbs:
I have four 8 tube high bays with a mix of day lite and 4500K T8 lamps.

It's going to be hard to get good lighting out of one fixture.
You could get some cheap plug in clamp on lights and use 65 -85 watt florescent bulbs.
As mentioned a movable light stand is another option.
