I installed 2 8 foot flo. fixtures with the high output ballasts and also painted all the walls and ceiling with high gloss white paint and it made a huge difference. Painting the floor with gray epoxy also helped immensely with light.

Your pictures are inspiring me to do more with converting my garage into a fully dedicated woodshop. I'm having a hard time giving up the ability to pull the car in the garage. Its the biggest struggle Im having. I like having the ability to work on the car in cold weather but then it interferes with having a dedicated wood shop. arrggggg. any one else struggling with this also?
