That shelf at the head of the garage looks like it is sagging a bit too much.
Unload everything, get a straight 1x4 from the store and face frame it ( like a cabinet ) so the 4" is facing into the garage and the 1" dimension is pointing towards the floor and ceiling.
When you get it, it will have a crown in it, you want the crown facing up.
Use a floor jack and 2x4 to push the shelf straight again before screwing the 1x4 to it.
This will help with 2x2s trying to carry the load that far apart
You can go all out and use a 1x6 and have half of it up over the shelf like a lip. that would help it out even more.
Sorry that shelf scared me a bit, I just think of stuff falling on my vehicle at 2:00 AM. not only would it scare the crap out of me, I would be very pissed and not sleep the remainder of the night

+1 to that!
1000bulbs.com is a good place to get the bulbs. They package up the tubes just fine - never got a damaged one.

Re: Garage lighting suggestions
Very nice setup on the lighting. I have been wanting to do something similar for a long time. The surge suppressor mounted by the garage opener plug is brilliant!
