Let there be LIGHT!

I included a foot candle output of your existing setup for comparison.

THANK YOU very much

I used your link to download the software, wow! The first place it took me was to the lighting program for a 4 lane road... interesting. I did get to the right place, VERY helpful. Thank you VERY much! I will use the plan to fine tune my lighting plans. I changed the direction of a row to better light a row of workbenches. I will end up having 6 rows of lights. One lenght wise along a wall and the other 5 across the work bay. I decided to use 6 separate light switches so I don't always need all the lights. A minimal extra expense that I can easily do since the ceiling is not yet drywalled.

Well I went on there and downloaded that software, but man it is involved. A lot of variables there I didnt have the figures. Its asking for the type of lighting etc.

24X32 foot with 14 feet of it having ten foot ceilings. Then I go to a cathedral ceiling for the next 18 feet. Can you do a survey for my layout MX?

I will use flourescents, probably 8 footers X 2bulbs, of course I can use whatever I want, so I am open to changes. Energy efficient is a plus of course.

I hope you don't mind doing one more. I'm still in the planning stages of mine, but could use the help to figure out the lighting budget and wiring locations. I am thinking of using 4' twin-tube T8 fixtures on the ceiling perhaps 5 or 6 rows of fixtures The workbench lights could be a set of T8 fixtures with reflectors suspended on chains about 8' above the benches.

Length, Width, and Height: 60'Lx44Wx12' to bottom of joists. (open joists in a pole barn construction)
Roof Slope: 3:12. Ceiling will be painted and lights will hang off it.
Reflectance Wall, Ceiling, Floor: white semi-gloss walls and ceiling, sealed concrete floor
Power limitations, desires IE: 120v single phase
Let me know what you expect from the finished product. Automotive workshop with a two post lift on one bay. 2' of workbenches along one long wall and one side wall with auxiliary lighting directly over work space.

MxHonda;
If you have the time, I am having built a new home with a 3-car stacked garage.
The third bay will be my work space.
Below are the dimensions (it is basically L-shaped).

Roof Slope: flat ceiling - Height, unknown at this time...walls not up yet. Assume normal height for garage on flat ground.

Reflectance Wall, Ceiling: white semi-gloss walls and ceiling. No texture on surface.

Floor: Debating between a light gray Epoxy Quartz coating OR a RaceDeck with white/Light gray checker with blue boarder.

Power: 120v single phase. I have requested additional outlets on the ceiling. The work space will be on it's own switch.

Let me know what you expect from the finished product.
Automotive workshop with a two post lift on right side of garage.
75% of the time is working on my cars or truck.
25% is wood working stuff or repairing things.

THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR PROVIDING THIS!!!!!

If you wouldn't mind another one I will give you my specifics on my soon to be dried in structure.
Two seperate bays divided by a wall with a 6-0x7-0 door opening.
Bay one: mechanical and fabrication area
25w x 32d x 12ft 6in ceiling
OSB surfaces ceiling painted gloss white and upper part of the walls light gray with a Ford blue stripe as a chair rail and lower wall darker gray.
sealed concrete floor.
Bay two: work benches, parts cleaner, bead cabinet, engine assembly area etc...
11w x 32d x 9ft 4in ceiling
same wall treatment as other bay
floor will be gray epoxy with flecks and gloss clear coat.

Prefer t8 electronic ballast lights and power will be no problem (200 amp service)
Thanks for your help and time.
