If you have a similar garage to me, it is a 26 x 24 foot area with two bulb sockets in the ceiling. The lighting can be slightly brightened by turning on the poor lights in the garage door opener. I have gone through and added higher watt lights, LEDs and even thought about climbing in the attic and fighting the blown in insulation to add more fixtures.
After looking for some time, I finally found a cheap fix that allows for plenty of light. I purchased 4 light socket splitters from Amazon and went to Home Depot and purchased LED lights that were pre-rebate from the electric company for $1.33 each bulb. I changed from a 3,000K bulb to a 5,000K bulb to get a more "white" light. With this installed, there is a HUGE difference. I did not tell the kids what i did and both of my kids who notice nothing made a comment on how bright it is in both garages now.
