Those are the ones I bought, but there are many similar models out there. For example, I know Costco has a similar model that is routinely on sale.

Hardwiring is the most sensible and less troublesome. I think you're overthinking this project.

​

Flush mount 4 ft LED lights wide enough to cover 4" j-box.

Example mounting with drywall screws.

Example mounting over j-box

Some will have mounting plate that you screw into the j-box or most comes with drywall screws to mount (they weight like 2-3 lbs max with LEDs).

Fit will be flush while using existing switch, lights wont be dangling, and you won't have to add receptacle.

Here's one from Lowe's if you'd rather pick up in store.

Out in the garage the other post got it right with the Harbor Freight tool Chests. You can't go wrong with them. They will hold up and last you forever.

​

You want to keep stuff off the floor so I would recommend these

https://www.samsclub.com/p/members-mark-4-shelf-industrial-storage-rack/prod22160218?xid=plp_product_1_3

they are 2 Feet deep so can hold a lot.

If you buy two you can actually fill up a whole wall.

I like these as parts organizers in my garage, Milwaukee makes good ones also. You don't want to go cheap on these, it is a bad day when you go to carry it somewhere and the latch breaks and spills out 1000 screws

I always have multiple sizes of these in the garage. They work great for hanging or fixing anything.

These are great stud finders. They find the drywall screws that go in to the studs.
