Any idea how to determine how many fluorescent light fixtures I need to
lit a garage 22'x22'x8'H?

I am thinking of getting this:

Parabolic Surface Troffer 18 CELL 3x32 T8

I wonder if I need 2 or 4 (or more) of these...any thoughts?

Thanks!

No simple answer. What do you want to do in the garage?

One fixture is plenty to light the area enough to walk through or find that
box of stored away garden tools. If you have a workbench, put one over the
bench. If you plan to work on cars, put one near the front of the hood so
light will get under it a bit.

I have 3 in a similar sized garage. One over the bench, one over my sander
on the opposite side, one near the rear. Plenty of light to do anything I
want to do.
