Stunning Greg! Well done!

Some spread out T8 fluorescents would give a nice even light level.

I was thinking of using 3000k LED daylight flood lights. Then the wife can pick a modern styled light. $60 bucks a pop but has a 25000 hour rating and only burn at 20w for an equivalent of 120watt bulb. Much more cheaper to run and last probably a decade before needing to be changed. Which in it's self is a pain doing.

Very nice. We're building close to the city and the result is a tiny garage :-(

Put in pot lights and crown molding/baseboard so that it's like every other room in the house...why should the garage be treated to anything less;-)

I put LED tubes in my ... .. ahem..... garage. Almost like yours (ya right, it's a Canadian Tire 12x20 tent garage) but the light is AMAZING. Better IMHO that spot lighting. Plus you can get LED panels now that are only 12mm thick. Use WAY less energy (not that that would be much of a concern there, but anyway)

I agree to add pot lights and finish the garage. You will never be sorry you finished the garage.

Great set up Greg.
It's funny that I just moved and all I tell people about is the garage (and boathouse) too!
There's a house?
Ya, we have one of those. lol

Gotta have the tunes in a garage like that.
In wall/ceiling speakers, sub etc.

Is there a plan for car lifts inside?

Lovely garage for sure! Congrats.

I've installed security camera cabling in side and out side as well as put in a hard wired network jack. The lower level is unfinished so I can easily add anything else I want.

I concentrated on adding electrical places for door openers and battery maintainers and also water outlet to the bay I wanted it to for a water pressure system, with a shut off valve in the main house lower level so no chance of it bursting in winter even though it's heated.
I've put in a laundry tub with hot/cold water all attached to the main house.

All the bays could have a lift. I plan to have at least one for maintenance. But I'll need at least 2 more cars to really even warrant one. I'd love to add a 964 to the collection.
