My garage is quite large (8m x 8m) and I have fitted a total of 11 overhead double tube 5 foot flourescents. They are arranged in three sections so I don't have to have them all on at the same time. They will eventually be replaced with LED tubes as & when they pack in, but even with all this overhead light, it's still not enough. Like Tony I have a big worklamp. Mine is on a tripod and it's a 1Kw mains halogen affair. I've also got a Heath-Robinson overhead lamp made up from a sheet of wood with 12 240v halogen ceiling spots mounted to it (I changed the ones in the kitchen over to LED and saved the mains ones). It's good when working under bonnets.
It's true, you've never ever got enough space or light. LEDs with less than 6000 lumens aren't really worth bothering with.
