Once again if it gets cold in your area the T50 lights can take a while to come on, while the halogen pot lights will work no problem in the cold.

The one guy posted T5-HO, not T50. I have T5-HO lights in my garage, and they come on in seconds with electronic ballast. These fixtures are a little more expensive, but you save more in electricity. My ceiling height is at 10 feet, and it works out great. I had these units for about 4 years, and no problems with them. The brand that I have is a bit more expensive, but has better diffuser. Here is the brand in parking garages.
