Help with lighting plan

[jpcjguy]

Hi all,

So I am starting my outlet wiring and need to start planing on a lighting design.
Building is 48x30x12. However, 30 ft. has 10 ft. ceiling height because I am using raised heel trusses. The "lift bay" has actual 12 ft. walls and the interior pitch is 4/12.
Looking at the pics, the "gym" labelled pic will have a 1/2 bath in the back right corner, you can see the toilet stub. The far left corner is where a free weight gym set, dumbbell rack will go.
I did have a thought of using those LED "wafer" lights (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072KV9SVJ/?coliid=I1FVXJU1W5N5OD&colid=1JJ0BWG8N3NLD&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it) that I used in my house for the low ceiling area.
Then use LED "tube" lighting in the bay area. Oh - and the space will be insulated and drywalled.
Any suggestions?

Thanks!

jpcjguy - 48x30x12 with 4/12 pitch = 17 @ peak. Sorry, no simple answer as pitched ceilings require full modeling and experimentation to get it right.

Understood. How about if we treat the 32x30x10 area (under the attic truss) as it's own entity?

If the whole 32x30x10 is for exercise purposes, then recommended illuminance = 37fc @ 40" work plane.

See Visual Instructions here (link) Change illuminance value to 37 at 3.28'

Here's the Visual tool preloaded with the fixture you linked to above (link).

Thanks! I will review it.

The LL in the fixture part number you linked to means Low Lumen. Suggest higher lumen version (link). Preloaded Visual tool link.

So I am abandoning the LED wafer lights and looking to do a 4' LED strip light. I reached out to ProLighting.com and was recommended this light:
https://www.prolighting.com/t443ssubcxx00p0-18w5k.html
using the 2 and 3 bulb version. Unfortunately, it is not dimmable and I think that would be good to have over the gym area at least.

I tried using the www.visual-3d.com tool but could not find those lights as an option. Are there equivalents that I could use for modeling?

Or should I go with a fixture and bulb setup that Platonic_Solid recommends on page 1 of the "The Best Light Fixture Ever!" thread?
As with everyone else, my head is swimming!

Thanks,
Joe
