"As to lighting, for a shop of this size with a 12’ ceiling how many lights would you recommend? I like lots of light."
Hello Jay,
I built my house/shop about 8 years ago. It is 26' x 36' with a 10'6" ceiling height. I ran a total of 7, 8' double fluorescent lights, for a total of 28, 4' bulbs. I ran two 8 footers, end to end, across the 26' span, then two more about 8' apart from strip to strip. I ended up with a single 8 footer at the end, where it was narrower because of a stairwell. I am very happy with the lighting, and am slowly converting the bulbs to LED. I just have to choose the bulb that I like the best.
