This housing has internal circuitry and an outer display panel and is operatively connected to an added fluorescent lighting fixtures within the garage in place of the conventional incandescent bulbs in the garage and opener. Either one or two electrically operated garage door openers may be used with the housing and fluorescent lighting fixtures. The housing's display face has visual indicators which indicate that the existing garage wall switch is operating to supply power to a fluorescent lighting system or that electrical power from the existing garage opener is received. If two garage doors and openers are used, then an additional visual panel indicator to indicate the operative state of the second door with supporting internal housing circuitry included. Appropriate relay coils and contacts associated with the different visual indicators permit the controlling of electric power to the associated fluorescent lighting and housing visual indicators.
