[s-cars] NAC - Dream Garage Ceiling and Wallmaterialrecommendation

[Steve Powers]

I have 4 - 8' fixtures in my two-car garage and I think I could use
more light. The fixtures are in the ceiling area not covered by the
doors when they're open. As a result, the front part of the garage is
well lit while the back end is a bit dark. I would like to put another
4 in the area which is covered when the doors are up - with an
interlock switch to turn them on only when the doors are closed.
