I’m looking for organization ideas for my 30x40x14 metal shop for tolls, keeping clutter to a minimum, etc. I built it 14’ sides so I could build a storage loft at some point. Going up was cheaper than going out. Pictures would be great too. Thsnks

Looking for a light to mount outside my shop that will light up in front of my two 12x12 bay doors. Any suggestion? I want it to be fairly bright.

Not sure if it tell you anything, but here’s a picture of the inside of the meter box and cut offs

2” conduit I believe. The outer diameter is 2.5”. The cable looks like 2/0 and 4/0.

Here’s a picture of the meter and the cut off switches for house and shop

Im planning out my shop and I’m stuck at one thing. I have 400 amp service running to the house, then it’s split off 200 to the house and 200 to the shop. There’s 2 cut off switch box’s next to the meter, one for the house, one for the shop. I see the ground wire coming out of th main meter...

I’m considering these lights in my 30x40 shop. My ceiling is 14-19’. I was thinking of 4 lights but I see you have 6. How does 6 work for you? Is it too much?
