I used the Acuity Brand simulator and the fixture .ies files.

I've come up with a couple lighting scenarios for my 50 x 20 x 16h RV garage. My question is, where do foot-candles end and blindness begin? One scenario comes to about 100 fc. The other comes to about 140 fc. Both will be on dimmers and separate switches (40/60 front/rear). I'm concerned...

Once again...Thank you! Do you know of any layout tools you would recommend?

Thanks CD. This is actually where I'm lost. How many FC's do I want? I'm no professional, but my aging eyes need all the help they can get! Also, I'd like to avoid too much shadowing.

Thanks. Actually, it is 20 feet Wide and 50 feet Deep. The ceiling and wall will be white. I am open to side lighting if that's best.

Thanks Dude. There is a ton of info! I like the look of the high bay fixtures, and the apparent need for fewer of them. I plan on having half the space used for a double lift with 2 cars side-by-side and the rest an RV. I was thinking of 3 rows of lights with separate controls for the 2...

I like beer! I went through the thread. Incredible amount of info! Based on your results, do you think 3 rows of 165's would work (50 x 20 x 16h)? How close to the walls is most effective? Or maybe 165's down the middle and 110's along the walls? 3 lamps or 4 per row?

Thanks, that will helpful. So you're in Bremerton, huh? Not too far from Sequim. Hmmmm..... That floor looks AWESOME! Love stained concrete!

Okay, I admit I'm a bit lost and am running out of time. Just poured the slab for a 20' x 50' x 16'H garage and need to tell the electrician what lighting to wire for. I want it bright for detail work, but dimmable for retina retention! I like the look of the high bay LEDs. Money in NOT much...

Hello everyone! Took 57 years but I'm finally getting my big boy garage! It'll be 20' x 50' x 16'H and I have no idea how to light it! I like to detail show cars and need to see what I'm doing. I'll have a movable 4 post lift to help with the bending over. Any ideas/directions to look would...
