New Lighting setup in my garage!

It was about time. Before I had only 2 four bulb fixtures over my detailing side of the garage and it was such a pain to work with. I couldnt see much and everything looks great under that light until your brought it out in the son and saw streaking etc. Now I should be good...

Today I had this setup installed

4 8ft' 4 bulb fixtures + 1 4ft 4 bulb fixture all with 75 watt 96" T12 5,000K slimline fluorescents. At first the electricians installed 60watt bulbs and the garage was super well lit but I needed more and asked if they had anything whiter and brighter so they went and got the 75watts instead and re-installed them, now my garage is well lit and super bright.

I know you guys like pics...

This is what I was working with before, ony 2 fixtures with low watt bulbs and they had covers on them!

Now I have these, the idea was to have 8ft fixtures shining on all four sides of the car.

Let there be light! You could preform surgery in there!

Looks great. Proper lighting makes a huge difference.

Looks great. The 5000K bulbs should make a significant difference as well.

That looks great. I need to install 2 more CFL's in mine to brighten up the back. They are fantastic at the front and I get spoiled. Here's what I have in front (http://www.topbulb.com/find/Product_...ductID_E_49655) and a link to how they look (http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/...-lighting.html)
