    150' of 100 amp wire sizing and can I even do it??

    The ground wire can be smaller. Nuetral I believe has to be sized the same as L1 L2.. I am no expert. Run the 4 wire.. it is code in most places. and you can branch out 110V circuits. I don't see why you can't run a new 100 amp panel from an existing one. You have to make sure you don't break...

    How bright should I go?

    lumens go down with the square of the distance look for a spec lumens @ X feet Say 1000 lumens at 4 Feet. at 16 ft high bays the lumens are reduced by the square of the distance (4^2=16) or only about 100 lumens at the floor.. I think the physics work like that.. but each light contributes...
