I currently run a single 68watt CFL bulb for overall illuminations. It claims to be a 300 watt equivalent. My garage only has a single standard socket in the center.
I also have a pair of LED ceiling lights, 1000 watt shop lights (they do a great job heating the place up in the winter) and some random hook lights, corner lamps, etc.
Pic related is 8 years old, and its starting to flicker.
I'm looking for a replacement bulb, something that doesnt take 10 minutes to warm up either, and bathes the entire place in nice warm light.
CFL's are garbage. I've got two ancient 200w "equivalents" in my garage but I doubt they put out half that.
Don't even get me started on CFL floodlights. Worst shit ever made.

LED array, will last forever.

Hooked up a few of these, aswell as a small light above the main work bench
Use an old halogen worklamp when I need closer light or under the car. Sure, its not efficient or anything, but in the winter time its really nice to have the warm light

I call those "bug collectors" don't forget the mercury content and the special dimmers needed.

Luckily it cleans easy, and the mosquitos/other bugs dont really go into the garage

I need something that will fit into a standard socket, and provide me a lot of light all around.
