Here are a couple layout. not sure what to use. It ranges from 20-31 lights. The black lines are the truss's. I will have to put at-least 2 or 3 on the outside truss no matter what i do b/c there is a dead shadow spot there now with just the 2 fixtures i hung last night.

Is this the Walmart light or the Home Depot light?

Well here are a couple pics of my ship with the 4 halids on and a picture of only 2 of the 4 ft t8 fixtures. Sorry about shop it is a mess. This is just one area that i am working on the lighting.

The link you posted is the one i am looking at. I have the ability to replace the ballast and with it being an employee purchase they warranty them at store for 3 years. a year longer than the manufacturers 2 year.

Automotive. And yes i know that the color rendering will be wrong but the halids are not the main source of light.

I have a buddy that is an electrician so i get all boxes, wiring and outlets at cost so not worried about that. Would rather them be plug and play since if one goes bad it is easier to replace. On the other hand i do not have a code restriction since i am in the county and have already checked...

The bulbs are 5000k and 6100 lumens per fixture. I have been trying to figure out how much light loss is at the actually 12.5 ft from floor. I could always hang them lower around 8 or so but i am afraid at that point i wouldn't get the light spread. I am looking at atleast 4 runs of 5 bulbs...

They are nice but for me to fill a 3 550 area u would spend alot of money. I can get pretty much the same light in the link above and buy almost 4 for the price of one of these. I need even list distribution.

well right now i am trying to see how many of the http://www.homedepot.com/p/Lithonia-Lighting-2-Light-White-T8-Fluorescent-Residential-Shop-Light-1233-RE/202994372#shipping_options home depot can get me

Nevermind....

I donno i have 15 of the t12 versions in a paintbooth garage and have had them for 7 years now with no issues. So i donno if it is just bad luck or maybe they are junk

Hey guys as you know if you have read i am having a big battle trying to figure out how many lights i need in my shop and what to do to change out my 4 metal halids. Area is 50 wide and 35 deep and right at 13ft from floor to bottom of truss where light would be mounted. I can get these lights...

Just found an easier solution really. Walmart sells a 4ft T8 dual fixture for 11.00. you can get good bulbs for 1.87 each through 1000 bulbs. so you would have $15.73 in each fixture. More light and better light distribution.

The metal halids are where the circles are now.

right now its a 35x50 just one area. it has 4 450 watt metal halids so there are shadows all over the place. And it is costing alot just to run these 4 a month. Looking to change out with maybe 20 dual light 4ft T8 fixtures and 5000k bulbs. it would actually lower the operating price and...

It wouldn't even have to be glass it could just be the diffuser and only let the bottom through. Yes i know it wouldn't be the correct color but we have 2 booths and primer and sanding booth and a paint and clear booth. The paint and clear booth has 5000k t8 fixtures.

ok so i have been able to order if i want to 48" 32 watt dual bulb T8 fixtures for 11.00 each. I have thought about putting them in this formation. 4 rows of 5. spacing them evenly. this would give me about 122000 lumans to where my 4 metal halids with new bulbs would give me 132000 lumans. The...

or what about using 20 of one of these http://www.lowes.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10151&catalogId=10051&productId=4013483&cId=detail...
