I am at the same point as you, I need to add lights and siding. One of the concerns that I have is how ell fluorescent lights work in cold environments. According to my handy dandy books here, fluorescent lights should not be used below 40 F. While I plan on having my garage heated, it wont always be, and hereabouts we get as low as -30 F. So I dont know.
After reading here, I am also thinking that OSB, painted a light color, might be a good choice for the walls, with peg board over the work bench for hanging 'stuff'.
I see a lot of people using fluorescents in the north, any input on the cold weather ratings?
