We recently bought a house, and it still has the original garage lighting:
a single 60W bulb mounted on the wall next to the door.


All you have to do is replace that 60w bulb with a 100 Watt and it will be
more than you ever need. Fast, cheap, can't be beat.

If that is not good enough for you, surface mounted fixture will be just
fine. Depending on the garages size, four to six fixtures is about right.
Placement may be more important than total. There are wiring strips made for
surface mount that will look fairly decent.
