New shop.........."build"

[dontlifttoshift]

I find the 60fc number is for general shop lighting with the intention to use task lighting everywhere. It's a business and I think that plan sucks. There's a work light on the band saw, we don't even turn it on anymore.

All lighting layout was done without thinking about the doors. If the doors are open, there is sunlight, nighttime lighting with the doors open isn't a concern for me.

I mostly 8', 4 bulb fixtures with a handful of 4' fixtures to get around garage door tracks and other things already on the ceiling.

Hot tip, make sure to enter inside dimensions in the lighting calculator.
