In my shop I use 4 ea. 2 lamp, 4 ft. Daylight T-8's on a white ceiling which brightens up my small garage like Walmart. Having them hardwired into a wall switch makes it a lot nicer than when I was using the hanging types with the pull chains.
If ever build a larger shop I will be sure to include lots of windows and a couple of sky-lights.
BTW, where is all this snow I keep reading about? I never see any snow here in Looweezeeanna! laughing6-hehe

Very timely subject.

I just received a call from my local energy provider and was told I qualify for a Power Savings Blitz program. I should be able to get all my shop lights converted over to T8's with electronic ballasts at no cost (up to $1000).

If you have a small business in Ontario check out this site to see if you qualify:
