Hello.
We have now reached the topic of lighting for the garage. However, I have no experience in arranging the desired fluorescent tubes effectively.
We will have a sectional overhead door. I have planned it in the open position. Does anyone know if it is possible to install a fluorescent tube behind the sectional overhead door? I am not sure if there is enough space between the ceiling and the open door... It would probably be more symmetrical and evenly lit if another fluorescent tube were installed on the left/top side of the plan.
The red elements are intended to represent the fluorescent tubes I have planned. On the right side of the garage, I would like to place a workbench and have also considered installing a fluorescent tube above it.
As always, I appreciate any kind of criticism as well as further ideas.

in my old building’s basement, I had flat LED panels (30x120cm (12x47 inches)) installed by fastening them directly through the panel frames to the ceiling because of limited height.
It actually looks pretty good. The slim power supply runs off to the side and is also mounted directly under the ceiling. It could also be hidden in a cable duct. Otherwise, there are very flat surface-mount frames where the power supply can be concealed as well. Still much less installation height compared to tubes.
In the workshop and all office rooms, I replaced tube lights with LED panels.
I don’t really see a good reason to install tubes anymore. The light from LED panels (even the very “cheap” ones) is miles better than from tubes, and I would never want anything else again!
