Hello. We have now reached the lighting of the garage. However, I have no experience at all in sensibly arranging the desired fluorescent tubes. We are getting a sectional overhead door. I have planned it in the open position. Does anyone know if it is possible to install a fluorescent tube behind the sectional overhead door? I do not know if there is enough space between the ceiling and the opened sectional overhead door... It would certainly be more symmetrical and evenly lit if another fluorescent tube were installed on the left/top of the plan. The red elements are meant to represent the fluorescent tubes I have planned. On the right side of the garage, I would like to place a workbench and have also planned a fluorescent tube above it. As always, I am grateful for any kind of criticism and also for further ideas.

Hi

Then also the 7th tube.
With the gate closed, the garage is well lit for working on the car.

Hi, I had flat LED panels (30x120) installed directly through the frame of the panels into the ceiling in my old building basement due to lack of height. It actually looks quite good. The flat power supply runs to the side and is also mounted directly under the ceiling. It could also disappear in a cable duct. Otherwise, there are very flat mounting frames where the power supply can also disappear. Still less installation height than tubes.

In the workshop and all office rooms, I had tubes replaced by LED panels.

I currently don’t see a good reason to install tubes anymore? The light from LED panels (even the very "cheap" ones) is miles better than that of tubes and I would never want anything else ever again!
