I need to add a 2 bulb flourescent light approximately 1 foot from the wall, towards the camera, in the pic.  The circuit shown is a single recepticle in a garage.  Could Tap off this circuit or should I run a new circuit?  

Thanks in advance

Run a new circuit, never put a light on a receptacle circuit.

Easy enough, I had a feeling this was the answer.  Never hurts to ask.

Thanks

Yes you can put it on the receptacle circuit and for one 2 tube florescent light I would. No need to waste the money to pull a new circuit.

The other option I have is to extend the current overhead light circuit (which is two single bulb fixtures in series) and would only require an additional 4-5' of circuit.
