    apartment is going to be all electric. just me and my wife. I could probably get by knowing when I will be using more power in the shop and her not to run the dryer etc. but with hot water heater, ac/heat mini split, dryer, oven, a new service is probably way to go. I'm starting to look at...

    lighting for a 40X60x12 Machine Shop?

    I just put up 6 8' t5ho fixtures in my 32x32x16 shop with white walls and ceilings and a shadow has nowhere to hide in there. I probably could have gotten by with 4 fixtures but went 3' off the 2 side walls with 2 fixtures and 2 down the middle

    50 X 50 Pole Barn Lighting

    I got 8' t5ho fixtures from home depot. they take (4) 4' t5ho bulbs. they are about $67.00 each and bulbs are around $10.00. I am very happy with the amount of light they give off.

    50 X 50 Pole Barn Lighting

    I have t5ho's and can remove bulbs while they are still lit. I just finished my ceiling and am moving lighting around and didn't feel like climbing down the scaffolding to turn fixture off. bulbs and fixture did not feel hot to me.

    overhead door size and placement advise needed

    I would go with two 12's. at least 4' from each side which would leave you 8' in between the doors for either your man door or storage area. or put your man door in one of the 4' openings. figure out what you may want to place between the doors before deciding on offsets
