First off this is my first post. I have a 50x60 red iron building. Off the back of it I have a 25x60 lean to. 25x30 of the lean to is closed and has as apartment in it. The other 25x30 is open on 2 sides. I'm using I as a 2 car garage. The roof is insulated on the entire lean to and I put the same kind of metal on the ceiling of it. I'm wondering what kind of light fixtures people are using under there's. I'm not really looking for 4ft fixtures but I wouldn't be against it. Thanks for the input!!

I have a 40x50 with a 15x50 lean to. I used 4 foot LEDs, six 48w vapor tight. My ceiling is 16 ft.

My BIL just had a nice shop built with a full length lean to. He used LED bulbs and porcelain fixtures. Cheap and they throw out enough light to work by. I think they are on 8' centers...

depending on the ceiling height, you could either use a canopy light like they have over gas pumps, or you could use a garage fixture like they use in big parking decks.
The garage fixture would be better if the ceiling is 10' or lower, and the canopy light would be better if the ceiling was 15' or higher.
The vapor tights, posted above, are appropriate, too.
Good luck,

I used 8' T8 tandem strip lights at 2 locations. One over 10 years ago the other less than a year old. No issues outdoors.
