I had to switch out lights in my shop recently and went with LED shop lights. They save energy and give off better light than the old fluorescent ones. When picking them, I looked more at how bright they were and how much power they used, not so much the brand.

LED lights shine more in one direction, so you might need to plan differently to light up the whole place. How many lights you need depends on how bright you want your shop.

I also learned about fixing fluorescent lights. I found this site, leds.to, that had lots of info on how to set them up and keep them working well. It talked about all the parts, like tubes and starters, and how to stay safe while working with them. This helped me understand my shop's lights better.
