What kind of lights do you use on the ceiling of your garage ?

I live in Mid Michigan and have an unheated garage* (remember that part for later)

I want to add some lights for the overhead. I would roughly say it's about 10ft up to the ceiling.

But when I was looking at a variety of lights at my local Home Depot, I noticed there was quite a varitey, for the garage.

Some were 2 bulb, some were 4 ... some seemed much brighter than others.

and back to my colder Michigan Winters - are some better in colder climates than others ?

The one I liked the best had 4 lights / seemed the brightest.

I have an electrical outlet already up there, so I could plug them in, or have my Electrical buddy, hard wire them in (so if I wanted to go with some High-output lamps, I think that would be an option.)

My garage is rectangular shaped


Roughly 1 and a 1/2 car deep

I usually pull straight in because the garage door comes in and up, so the part of the ceiling is blocked ...

The work bench is at the end of the garage (roughly where my front bumper of the car would be if I pulled in ... no where close to the actual garage door)

Want something more than a drop light on a retractable cord


thanks for the thoughts ...
