Do you doubt my T17 bulbs??? Or just trolling???
Well, I used to bullseye womprats in my T16 back home. Who am I to question your T17s?

Are the ballast bad? If so they are pretty easy to swap out. I can tell you on here exactly how to do it.

There certainly were T17 sized fluorescent lamps. My post wasn't aimed at you.
Just a lot of downright false info and assumptions about the old technology (T12, T8, T5) as well as new tech LED posted here. I don't want to call anyone out specifically, but I'll caution anyone who wants correct info to do their own research.
Why don't you just point out where people were wrong, so they have something to aim for in their research?
I second the florescents. They give you more than enough light and are cost efficient. Only drawback to them is that some of them get testy in really cold weather and may not fire up immediately. Doesn't happen a lot, but it can, (as I well know). If your garage is heated it won't be an issue. Putting in a couple of spots over work spaces may also be an option for you for more directed light, (like over a workbench) if you want lots of light.
+1 for the led's we are changing all of our florescent fixtures over to led. They put out great light and as a plus they don't use the ballast so one less thing to go bad.
Anything with a ballast is going to be destroyed by LED in on/off cycles if that is going to be a concern.
If you can avoid Fluorescent bulbs do it. The T12 are already banned from production. Soon the T8s will be banned and same with T5. LED is the future. If you plan on having the Garage for 20 years u might as well go LED now instead of later. LEDs are not very good when it comes to 360 lighting they have a definite field of range at about 30 degrees. And despite what people will say LEDs do not last forever. The bulb itself will last a super long time but the ballast equivalent goes out just as often as the Fluorescents does.
Heh. I just moved from a garage where the overheads behaved exactly as expected: stodgy ignition and depressing burn at cold temps. My new garage has T12's that don't want to fire up at 70+ degrees.
I am gabberflasted at the behaviour, but will use the excuse to move to LED fixtures.

Are you limited on voltage? I may be able to get you some lights from work. They're high bay warehouse lights, only downside is they take a while to warm up when you first cut them on and they get hot. They're kinda like these...

I have heard that the LED lights can interfere with remote garage door openers and with cell phones. Anybody experience this or have any knowledge of this?
