30' x 26' garage.

Thinking about these lights

LED High Bay Shop Light, 2FT 105W 140LM/W Linear LED Industrial Workshop Light, Warehouse Aisle Area Light 14700lm, 5000K, 4 Lamp Fluorescent Equivalent, 1-10V Dim, UL Complied

You'll have to search it on amazon as the site won't let me post a link or photo.

My concern is glare, as the ceiling is only 10' 9"

But the lights come with a frosted lens and they are dimable.

Thoughts?

I would choose different fixtures.

First hit on google for "'high bay' height"....

Typically, High Bay Lights apply to any large area with a ceiling height greater than 20 ft. In return, Low Bay Fixtures are used in large rooms with a ceiling height between 12 and 20 feet.

We replace 400w Metal Halide fixtures with high bays that are around 14,000 lumens. Can you imagine having 400w Metal Halide fixtures in your garage hanging at 10' 9" ?
Look for something in the 8000 lumen range....
Good luck,

My high bay lights worked out fine, but I have 18' to the rafters. I would think you'll have some bright spots even with frosting and have to make up with it with more lights anyway.
