Need to get some pics today. One thing I realize is that I’m not treating the Hellcat nice enough….she doesn’t get parked on carpet.

Mine does lmmfao, carpet up front and rubber mats in the back. I used to have 2 big ass old area rugs down on the floor
Still using flourescent. 4 housings in the ceiling with 4, 4ft tubes each. I haven't changed them out because when I look at LED tubes that can be retro'd in to the housings, their lumen output isn't any more then the flourescent tubes. Granted the flourescent will degrade over time, but still. Not spending a fortune to replace 16 tubes, when the newer stuff isn't any brighter (granted they last longer and probably cost less to run in the long run), when what is in there works fine.
I have the carpet runners in there as I learned early on with the epoxy I originally had, that if the tires come in damp and warm, it'll pull up a layer in the form of the tread pattern of the tire.
With all the layers I have down now, it probably isn't an issue, but old habits are hard to break I suppose.
Sams Club LED shop/garage lights. Think I have 8-10 of them in my garage and they all daisy chain together.
Will update with pics when I get back home (working in the office this week since kids + wife at home).
We picked up another shelf and added it to the heavy duty Menards shelf that we got earlier this year. Got a bit more organized with the outdoor lights and that gives me more room in general in the garage.
Was debating ripping out the built in cabinets, but I think I just need to sand/paint them and epoxy the countertop next year.
I think the 12 LED lights are too much, I think I will redo those next year too.

You need some shelving or some of those storage cabinets I was giving away. I might know a guy
I have those LED screw in ones and 4’ led around the walls. It’s so bright and makes working on things easy.
I have the harbor freight LED lights, Braun I think? Super bright and cheap.
i think ive won this competition
I have 8 foot T12 light fixtures. I have 3 down the center of the garage and 2 on each side, angled inward. Having light at the sides of the garage pointing inward is really nice for doing brake jobs or anything under the hood of the car really. It helps eliminate shadows on the sides of the car and makes it a lot easier to see without needing to use a drop light, flashlight, etc.
I’m leaning toward putting in 6 4’ fixtures in my garage in three rows. Going to break up each row into switch.
