Free Lighting

A while back I was able to get my hands on these light fixtures for free from a building that was going to be demolished. Right place, right time situation. These are all new in the box. They just never used them. I will be building a 40x40-14 metal building with a 10K lb bendpak lift in the next year.

13 of the 8’ (2 T8 lamps/Narrow spacing/Apertured reflector/32W/Universal voltage 120-277/Electronic instant start)

4 of the 4’ high bays (High bay efficiency/4 T8 lamps/32W/Wide beam/Clear acrylic lens/Universal voltage/Electronic instant start/Uplight apertures on reflector)

1. Will this be enough lighting for this size building?
2. What type of bulbs would be best for this application?
3. Would the high bays be best utilized above the lift?

Not enough info was given to make a decision one way or the other.
Take the fixtures out of the box and either take pics of them or describe them in detail, instead of just photos of the labels.

First one is 4 lamp T8 highbay with (I think) wide distribution reflector. Great for your 14' ceiling.

Second (had to google the P/N) is an industrial turret. These are super nice well built fixtures. They will work pretty good also. These are expensive new, would be nice is they had the ER81/2 suffix for program start ballast but free is a great price. I'd love to have a bunch of these fixtures.

I went back and added in the part number breakdown description for each fixture.

I’m a little worried about the high bay fixtures being too bright. If I read correctly, mounting is recommended at 25’. But, these were all free and I also have about 10 cases of 4’ bulbs that were included. So, I’ll make them work.

If they are free, make sure you get plenty enough for miscalculations or spares.

They were all free along with about 10 cases of 4’ bulbs. I got everything they had to give, so not extras. I’m not going to complain though. I feel blessed to get what I could.

They're only 4 lamp T8 and they have the wide distribution reflector ( I didn't look it up but pretty sure that's what the W in the p/n is for). They are actually pretty perfect for your ceiling height.

Free fixtures, free info on GJ, and unwilling to post the results of a simple Google search yourself?
Bert had to do it for you.

I'm confused about your post. I edited my post @ 8:18 am yesterday to include the mfg. part number breakdown info. Then, @ 6:19 pm yesterday you posted that I didn't include anything but the pics of the labels. And, today @ 11:41 am you posted that I didn't look up the info and post it. I did. I'm looking at my edited post from yesterday @ 8:18 am and it shows the mfg. part number breakdown info. I'm assuming by your posts that my edited submission did not update on the forum, even though it shows it did on my end. I apologize that the information I submitted was not sufficient enough to answer my questions. I will provide more info and get some pics in the next few days. Thank you.
