I need some help with lighting. My ceiling is high and I have started planning the lighting but would appreciate advice on the following:

1 I thing hanging the lights about a foot from the ceiling would get light lower than flush mount- thoughts?

2. what hanging shop lights would produce the best light? Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks all
Dan

I have 6 of these in my 25x35 with 12' ceiling garage and will soon have 9. They work great and you can run 9 off of 1 outlet.

Bringing this thread back.

Closed on my new house on 8/1, moved in on 8/3 then decided it was a perfect time to paint my garage on 8/4.

Just realized I don’t have any after shots FML.

I plan on epoxying the floor at a later date, but for now I’d like to organize the garage. Currently I’m looking at a cabinet system such as this

Question is what kind of other options could I go with that would cost between $500-$2000? I’m not looking to source left over cabinets that don’t match and require a shit ton of time as I’d rather have a turn key option.

Update. Don’t mind the mess, I’m trying to organize with what I’ve got.

Once I get home I’ll post up the finished garage.

I have those cabinets and like them. I had no issues with shipping and they were packed very well. The roller cabinets are no the best but they work. I used peg board and not their slat wall. I didn't see a reason for the pro series and the bold series works great for my needs.

At my last house I had husky cabinets and I like the newage setup a lot more.

Those cabinets are great. i just purchased a large set of them for my new house. if you have costco membership, its much cheaper than any other outlet that sells them btw, install and assembly are simple. functionality is great, quality is good. get the bamboo top instead of the metal counter, and opt for the led lights for under the hanging cabinets.

Some of you guys are ballers. I'm just glad I can fit my 4 door F150 in one side and a Mustang or Wife's 4 door Jeep on the other side. Plus I can have benches or shelves on all three walls and still have plenty of room. But some of you....I wish. Now I just need some pink fuzzy wuzzy care bear stare shaggalicious carpet...I mean epoxy.

This is great to hear. I actually like that there are rollers because when I actually have the floor epoxied I can simply roll them out of the garage. Thanks for the review I appreciate it!!

Buddy of mine has a Costco membership so I’m jumping on that and they offer the bamboo top along led lighting for far cheaper then amazon. Appreciate the info!!

Have a 20x28 just for basic parking. Other garage is 40x28 with one side with a two post lift and the other side for parking. Has a small section off the back too I forget the exact size for couple other trucks.

Thanks a lot...

These 2 pictures just cost me $2,500!! I'm out of garage space and for some reason never thought about a drive on 4 post lift. I have a 2 post that I keep a car on when not in use but I still need more space. So now I'm going to have to buy a 4 post drive on.

They roll great and drawers seem fine. For me, it was the locks on the front wheels (they work but the cabinet likes to rock).

Here is my Cabinet set up. We moved in, in March this year and the garage was unfinished. It's slowly coming along just too many projects.
