Hey guys. I have a standard 24x24 detached garage with an 8' sheetrocked ceiling. I scored some free 8' industrial fluorescent light fixtures when the garage was first built and installed them. The ballasts have become really noisy and turns out they are not cold weather rated - hence I get a lot of flicker in cold weather. The garage is a workshop so the noisy ballasts are quite bothersome. Replacement ballasts cost as much as complete new fixtures so I'm re-evaluating the idea of installing all new lighting.
Would recessed lighting be an option? I could run CFL's in them to keep the electricity cost down (instead of halogens). What else? Guess I don't know much about my options and have been sort of single-focused on traditional strip fluorescent lights.
