I have (8) 8' T12 fixtures in my garage that have all been up for the 16 years I have lived there with only a couple of bulb changes here & there. The older I get the brighter I seem to think I need. I may need to upgrade mine to LED's soon. It already lights up the whole neighbor hood at night when I have the door open. I have a heated garage so being cold has never been an issue when I flip on the light switches.
