I have a long twin-tube flourescent fixture in the middle of the garage. I'm off on one end. So the spread light is behind me.
I have a short twin-tube flourescent fixture in the corner to the right. So the spread light is to my right.
I have an el-cheapo OSH single bulb dish unit with clamp positioned up and to my left with a single 100W equivalent spiral.
That's what I'm running at night only:
21W + 75W + 75W + 40W +40W = 251W
During the day I'll pop open the front and side garage doors a couple feet to add natural light and reduce the garage lighting to long twin tubes only.
75W + 75W = 150W
Saves a little money that way...I try to use "soft" spec bulbs in my smaller units. Typically the stores carry mostly the brights for the long tubes. I find that too much brightness in lighting sometimes makes my wheelbuilding harder visibility-wise at the points instead of easier.
