LEDs render better colors, almost like daylight, and come in different color temperatures.

HOW MANY LUMENS DO YOU NEED?
According to the IESNA Lighting Handbook, a garage needs around 80 lumens-100 lumens/sq feet.
If we consider One car garage area typically has a size of 12 feet wide and 22 feet deep, which is 264 square feet.
So the possible number of lumens required for an area this wide according to the recommended range above= 264*100=26400 lumens.
Four T8 8ft V Shape LED Tube (2 rows of 2 8ft V Shape LED Tube arranged in parallel can be a great option) are enough to light up a one-car garage.
Note= The maximum distance between two lighting fixtures is 1.5 times the height of the work/task surface.
