Here's the situation... I'm using a 1 car garage in a 1949 cape cod style house for my shop. The garage is underneath the master bedroom, and has a relatively low ceiling, maybe 7.5' or so. The half away from the garage door is well lit with a few fluorescent fixtures.
I'm not sure what to do with the other end, the part of the ceiling where the garage door slides up. When the door is up, there is very little clearance between the door and ceiling - about an inch, inch and a half. Obviously not enough to put more fluorescents there.
I've thought maybe an IC rated recessed/can light would work, but wouldn't any hole through the drywall be an issue with code - the fire rating requirement of the ceiling? Due to shelves and other stuff, wall sconces aren't really an option either. Is there any lighting option I'm missing?
