I could move the lift but that is where I want it. I am debating 4 or 5 rows of lights. going with 4 would save me over $200 . I think the best place for the heater will be between the 1st and 2nd row of lights angle almost 45 degrees with the back of the shield back of heater 12" from the...

That's what I'm worried about. If the heater is between a row of lights it with be about 2.5-3 ft from the lights. It will be lower but worried angled at 45 degrees they might be in line with the tube not the reflector. It will be close

My big concern is how close can light fixtures be to the heater

So I'm finishing my barn. It's 30x48x12 18x10 door on 30ft gable end I got a light layout thanks to the lighting board. I want to run a 30ft radiant tube. With the light plan the rows are 6 ft apart. How close can these heaters be? My lift with be offset to one side but the end of it will land...

Right? Heater at 6 ft and it will be between a row of lights. But probably hanging 12" or more from the ceiling with the reflectors aims 45 degrees to the floor. Not sure how far away the fixtures should be from the heater. With 5 rows of lights there is a bit over 5ft between each row.

Well with the Ribs in the steel ceiling it will be easier to mount them between the ribs. Thanks guys

So with 40 fixtures and almost 100 FC about how bright is that? I know it's probably hard to explain but just gauging incase I decide to go less

Thank you for that! So is it always best the place the lights in a straight line? Not some one direction and others another? I was thinking lights parallel with the lift as to shine toward under hood. But with that many lights it probably gets that direction any way. I guess opposing direction...

I have a 30x48x12 18ft door centered on 30ft side. Trusses 2 ft on center. Planning a lift 16 ft from the door. 30" away from the wall. 3 post lift over all width is 11'6" I just got the walls studded and put outlets on the walls I'm trying the map out where to run wire to in the ceiling for...

If the heater is hanging 12" below the ceiling 3 ft off the wall it would probably not be a great idea to put a row of lights 2 ft off the wall right? as it would block light from shining out into the shop. What do you mean by 3x5 layout? I'm confused on that. space between lights? I was...

So I will add some in between the rows for 99 fc What do you think about mounting lights on the side wall due to the heater?

Oops sorry Ceiling height is 12ft

Ok let's try Flickr... Here is my lighting plan. If I could do with less please critique. Or place them differently such as all in the same direction. The lights between the wall and tube heater I thought about mounting to the wall at 10ft angled a bit. So as to not be blocked by the heater...

I'm guessing you have to pay to upgrade for hosting... Just trying to figure out the best way to arrange the lights to light up my car shop With out buying more than I need or too little. Plus getting around my heater and lift that the one side will be about middle of the shop

Well ****.... that's no good. Oh well.
