Lighting in Dark Spaces

It seems that the darker spaces in the garage have the most clutter! All this time, I've been working in the garage with the door open so there was plenty of natural light...and I could sort and sift with no problem. Lately, however, the days have been rainy and the fall season is gobbling up sunlight so the days get shorter and cooler necessitating a closed garage door. There is a single incandescent bulb in the middle of the garage so no matter where I work, my own shadow falls on the area I am trying to clear.

 As the blog, Twisted Shifter, shows so well, light can play strange and hallucinatious (is that a word?) visual tricks. Shadows and reflections can make appear what is not there, and delete from view what clearly exists. The poor lighting in the garage has slowed down the evening work which is done after the sun goes down. there are dark spaces where objects disappear.

Tomorrow a genlteman installs lighting at the ceiling on the interior wall side of the garage. Since that is the area where the 'workshop' will be, it is the area I am most concerned about. This fixture from Lowe's, the Utilitech ceiling flourescent should fix things handily! One will be 4 feet long and one will be 2 feet.
