Lets see , your lights will be 110 , If you have a welder or anyother heavy equiptment they will require a sep 220 line. Will your garage have its own breaker box or will it share one w/ the house? I would rec you have a sep one for the garage if you do alot out there. Most of the time the one in you house doesnt have the room to expand to the garage like I think you want to do.

If you have any other question you can pm me.

Thanks for the reply I'm a heating and air guy by trade and haves lots of electrical experience (rewired entire house from service feed all the way through) I know with can lights they say to space every 4 feet for proper coverage The garage is 20 x 27 with 12 foot ceilings so I can install a lift if I want to. I was thinking using 2 sets of 8' lights spread 6' apartand 2 on the sidewalls
