I was just going off a random web site that recommended 70-80 FC for bathrooms, so looks like they are way off. http://www.maximlighting.com/how-much-light Makes sense about the CCT. Do you have any recommended fixtures that would fit the bill? Thanks!

I finally got my high bays installed in my 60x50 barn (I'll post pics later) and need to light the barn bathroom now. The bathroom is 9'x9' with 9' ceiling and I'd like around 75 foot candles of light. Any suggestions on fixtures? Most of the round fixtures I found at Home Depot, etc. that...

Added to my post.

Ariel, Any recommendations on dimmer switches? I went to Home Depot and they didn't appear to have any that take the separate 1-10 volt dimming wire. Will something like this work: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HJIUH4U/?tag=atomicindus08-20 I plan to connect 8 fixtures to one switch. Do you...

Ariel, I haven't run any wiring yet, so hopefully can get the boxes close to middle of the fixtures. Do you know the type of wire needed for the 1-10 volt dimming? I was going to run 12/2 for the main electric line to each fixture, but haven't had dimming connected up before. Will either do...

Ariel, Do you think the surface brackets would work on the Alphalite equivalent linked below? The dimensions all look the same between the various units. Also, the links you sent previously were for the Diva and James, but the brackets were from Aleo, correct? The same vendor has Aleo...

Thanks Ariel for the info and I'll also search the forum.

Yes, this looks like it would work. Has anyone used the Aelo high bay fixtures and have any experience with them? Do they have all the certifications, etc? Also, any recommended distributor to buy from? Thanks!

I have a 60' x 50' shop with 14' ceilings. Based on a previous recommendation I was going to go with the 110w Greentek 2' linear high bays, but after ordering 4 to try and waiting several weeks, I cancelled my order due to lack of responsiveness by the vendor. Also, I was wanting to flush...

Re: LED color Platonic, is there much difference between the LumeGen and the Greentek you recommended above? I was planning on the Greentek, but could still switch to the LumeGen if you feel better. Thanks

It's a shame they don't make the fixture flush mount compatible, but oh well. Rather than a chain, perhaps I could just use threaded rods to secure to the fixture, as then they could be tightened to essentially be flush mounted. Something like this...

Yeah, I noticed the price of the brackets doubled in a day! Is there any reason I can't just mount by using screws driven into the ceiling from inside the driver box? I'm planning on 1/2 plywood, so likely would be strong enough to hold. Thanks

@Platonic - thanks for the advice. I'm going to order a few of the fixtures to make sure they will work for my space. On the brackets, did you mean that you weren't sure if that bracket would work with that fixture? I called Greenlight Depot and they weren't sure either. If anyone has...

Platonic - I have a similar size barn that is 60' x 50' and 14' high. Would this fixture work here? It recommends for ceilings 15-25' high, so didn't know if 14' was cutting it too close. Right now I'm planning unpainted plywood walls/ceilings. Also, I have garage doors that only allow 4 or...

I decided to hire out in the end. I think the $3 per sq foot was well worth it after I saw what was involved with the floor prep, in particular. I'm attaching a couple pics. Thanks again for all the good advice.
