I hope its a double garage, thats well OTT for a standard 1 car job.
Fls are about 4x as efficient as filaments, so a 4' tube is roughly
equiv to a 150w bulb, a 5' roughly to 250w. So youve got the
equivalent of 800w! kinell. Why do people go so nuts with fl lighting
levels?

In my 16' x 8' single garage workshop I have 5 x 100w bulbs above and two
60w anglepoise type lamps, one next to my drill press & one next to my RAS.

I don't think that's nuts, I just like to see what I'm doing!
