Your garage is awesome. I have decided to go with side lighting at 8 feet off the ground which is what is was in our maintenance shop, no glare and plenty of fill lighting. For the ceiling, I am going with 5 rows of 4 foot fixtures on circuit one (Covers the work bench area and entrance), 5...

The lights will run perpendicular to the entry which means they will be on the 16 foot wall. The actual interior wall space is less than 16 feet and therefore 12 feet of lighting fits perfectly and 16 or 8 feet won't work. Eight feet doesn't cover enough of the car without creating shadows...
