60'x144' Storage Shed Lighting

[Ashgrove]

Have a 60x144x18 shed for storing farm and excavating equipment, currently no light fixtures.
Gravel floor, no ceiling, trusses on 6' centers.
Have been playing around with the Visual-3D software.
Hoping to see what others have done that won't break the bank.
Thanks

Just storage, sounds like a good case for 100 watt UFO high bays. 1 row down each side 15' off the side wall. Spacing would start on the 3rd truss and then every 18' feet after that. That will give you 7 lights per row / 2 switches/ 1cct per row. Plenty of light for storage, and easy to add onto after if the usage changes.

High bay UFOs. I've got a 2400 sqft building. 5 UFO lights provide more light than I want..

I used these many times, work great easy to install / hang w/ a chain and fairly cheap! You can add motion sensors if you don’t want to use a switch.

my Home Depot has them at $108 each, these are 18,000 lumin they have a 25,000 lumin but are close to $200 fixture, better to have more fixtures in my opinion

be worth it to try one out and then see how many you want need and if you don’t like return it
