String of festoon lights for garage?

Have plug sockets in the garage but no lighting, want to use it as a space, so thinking something like festoon type lightbulbs, maybe 20 or 30? But online seems confusing. How many would I need to light up the space (I’m guessing Christmas fairy lights aren’t going to cut it) and how many would I need? Any suggestions/recommendations? Don’t want to trust the random seeming google suggestions of Christmas shops that won’t post them until November.

I highly recommend Amazon. I got fairy lights for my dining room/ conservatory, but they have all types and sizes of lights.

My exH hated fairy lights. He said they were naff and common. I love them - they dont provide a huge amount of light, but they make me disproportionately happy.

Thanks. I’m looking for more bright light to fill the garage and work by rather than pretty. Although pretty would be much better!

I've got these on my decking. They're fab. Really bright, different modes, remote controlled & a timer setting

I went with IKEA, really happy with them. Sorry I did try to find them on the website but no luck, they have lots of other options though
