building garage & would like to install recessed fluorescent fixtures. i like the 2'x4' fixtures used in suspended ceilings, but they're 2' foot wide & my trusses are 2' on center, leaving a 22.5" opening. does anyone make a 22.5" x 48" fixture. i've looked in to can lights, but i'd need a lot more & they' cost a bit more. any suggestions?

From an electrical supply, you can buy recessed 2/48 inch and 2/96 inch fluorescent fixtures made to go in sheetrock ceilings, between joists 16 inch on center
if you're building the garage and the finished ceiling is not up, then you can bridge the 24" centers with 2x to support your lights.\\
good luck, tim1198
