Decided to take the plunge and re do the lighting in my garage. At present I have 5 4' flourescent 4 lamp fixtures in my garage. Which was a two car garage. Have my lathe, drill press, grinder and one converted craft center on wheels that now had a double plywood laminated 2 layers for the top. Another steel workbench again with a double layered glued and screwed plywood top with a vise at one end. I plan on replacing fixtures flourescent for led so 5 led 4' fixtures. What has me stumped is what size wire to use. At present all the fixtures are screwed to the ceiling and power cords run to a power strip except for one. Since the manufacturer says to leave space all around for air flow as the led fixtures generate more heat than the old ones and they provide chains to suspend them from the ceiling. I bought one fixture to replace the one over the workbench and the difference in brightness and color of the light was astounding. One 4' led fixture has 2 rows of leds. I'll take the back off one fixture to see how it's wired with a pull cord switch. There is an outlet on one end that you can run a wire with standard 3 prong cord for power. I have a manually operated garage door so all light have to be on the outside of the garage door rail system. figure 3 wire cord hot,neutral and ground. All the outlets in the garage are 20 amp. The one by the workbench has it's own circuit breaker. The defunct garage door opener will be the power source for the 4 remaining 4' led fixtures. I don't reload in the garage as I have a man cave for that. I'm thinking about the same cord like they use for power tools like saws, drills, sanders but cannot remember what size AWG wire I should I use. Probably about #12 or slightly smaller. Thanks for your help. Frank
