LED Recomendations for a 160sqft shop

[EastEnder]

Hi all!

I am building a 160 sqft shop, and I am working for lighting recommendations. the walls are about 80", with a vaulted ceiling in the center thats about 10'.

What is the best bang for my buck? I'm not a fan of florescent bulbs, but if they are the cheapest option, I might give in.

Thanks for the help.

If you are only lighting up 160 square feet, who cares what the lights cost? Get what you want.

I have these style outdoor (indoors) LED flood lights in my shop with 12ft ceilings.
I used 30w units in general use and 50w where I tend to work most.
have 9 units in my main 24x24x12 area. and provides sufficient/ample illumination
but your eyes/shop needs may vary.
but each 30w unit was less watts than (1) 4ft bulb.
they shed ALOT of light, you can't look at them directly. so plan accordingly.

hard to beat the value at ~$23ea shipped

What about the Costco LED 4' shop lights that everybody talks about here ?? I have some in garage and basement. Depending on your location ,they could be $20 , $30 at my store, or $40.

About 4 or 5 of those 4 ft LED fixtures at Costco should light it pretty well !!
