Don't get me wrong, I love LED. It's just the cost doesn't justify the energy savings. In an unheated garage where it's likely very little time is spent, how many decades before LED pays for itself? T8's are already very efficient, and work well at normal room tempatures. How many T8's have you replaced in a residential setting? They last a LONG time.
The REAL DEAL is when LED FIXTURES become more popular. They are already starting to show up at the big box stores, it's just a matter of time before they replace Edison/Flourescent all together. If they would make them in somthing between 3500-5000k I might actually buy them.
