I'm thinking of installing these in my shed, its a 30x40 with 10 ft ceilings. Can anyone tell me if 10 of these are going to light my area good? I currently have 4, 8 ft HO florescent lights and 3 4ft LED bench lights over my 3 benches.
Anyone have these lights from Amazon?

I have 6 similar to those in my 30x40 and they do fine. No it is not super bright, but its only 6 lights.
If you was to double what you have, do you think it would be better?
If you have what is in the link you posted, those are only 4 ft. The ones I want to get are 8 ft and there are 10 of them. It also looks like the ones you posted are only 20w, the ones I'm wanting are 100.

Those werent the exact lights I have, just close. I wanted a good general light, I wire tied them to my metal frame trusses and have been happy. If I need better lighting I have RAB lights to use. I replaced the halogen heads on tripods with some of these:

I have used similar ones for my basement, they’re good for the price. Only gripe is the hardwire connector is extremely short at maybe 4”to 6” of useable length, so you had to have the fixture right against a junction box to wire it to. The cable for between fixtures is only 2’ which felt pretty short as well. Bring your own screws for the mounting clips as well, those little ones it comes with don’t really like to drive nicely.
