Nope, I would be up for anything, I just want to make sure I am buying a good product before I make that investment!

Thinking about these for the garage.
That is a really poorly built fixture, super inefficient. You are going from 64 watts down to 40 so only saving about 37% on wattage BUT your lumen output compared to a quality T8 lamp is also reduced. This fixture outputs 4,200 lumens and two of these https://www.1000bulbs.com/product/6433/F-32T8S84130.html will output 5,900 which is a 29% drop. So in order to get the same light level switching to a much more expensive LED fixture you will be saving ~8% of the energy and will never make that based on limited usage in a garage.
I would recommend:
1 - http://www.lowes.com/pd_420866-43921-MXL-102___ $16.48
2 - https://www.1000bulbs.com/product/6433/F-32T8S84130.html About $2.80 /E or something.
TOTAL: $22.08 which is a difference of $27.68. You will never make that up with energy savings or lamp changes. A better LED fixture will cost a bit more but will also be much more efficient.

If you need a visual reference you can check out mine or @cougarspeed garage for what florescent lighting still brings to the table.
Superbrightleds.com That’s what we use at the shop in a pinch. Fast shipping and great customer service and products!
Color is a preference thing. I swapped out our house to LED mostly to get the 5000k bulbs.

:tup: I need some lights for my garage. Late night grilling in the dark is annoying.
