I did similar for client about a month ago. He had one 4'x2 florescent light that was putting out 1/5 the normal light as getting cold.
I wanted to install across the trusses that were 8' spacing so I bought a pair of 2x2 and installed them perpendicular and screwed the 36" long 3000L fixtures to that.
Home Depot had the fixtures for sale for $10@
I installed 5 total fixtures now the garage is OR bright with 15000L.
I did a similar upgrade to a friend's garage but after we just installed white accoustic tiles after double insulating (6" fiberglass and radiant barrier with air space both sides).
We hung the lights facing UP on chains so it's indirect lighting doesn't blind you when looking up.
I can flip the one over the engine facing down when I want more light.
