Lighting plan for 28x28....opinions?

[dave*99]

I would either go flat panel, or the UFO’s. The look I’m going for when it’s all done would suit the UFO’s better. Like a factory or warehouse type look.

Either way, my advice is to use more fixtures with lower output rather than a few very bright ones.

I have a 12’ 8” ceiling in my garage. I temporarily have 4 of those 3 wing LED lights screwed into the porcelain lamp holders. I will upgrade after I paint the ceiling. It’s bright but harsh. No news there.

I did not use these guys when I bought my lights a couple years ago but they have great prices, good warranty. Wished I would have known of them before!

I have 15, LED 5,000 lumens, 5k lights (75,000 lumens) in my 27X20 (4 rows of 3 plus 1 at the walk in and 2 at the bench. I don't have glare in mine. When my OH doors are open 4 lights are essentially blocked.
The top of my ceiling is just a little over 12'. One wall is all white, the others are a mix of studs, old green paneling, shelves, tool box etc.

Are you heart set on the high bay fixtures? My thought is always distribute the light pattern for even lighting.

Just for terminology, that's not what I would call no glare.
