Looking for some advice. My shop is 30x50. I have 2 rows of (4) 8ft 2 tube fluorescent fixtures that I replaced with 65w 5000k led tubes running the 50’ length evenly spaced and evenly dividing the 30’ length. They are at about 13’ off the floor and provide good lighting. I went over to a friends shop of the same size and he had installed (8) of the 150w led high bay fixtures in the same layout and his shop is way brighter than mine. But he has more noticeable shadowing. I was thinking of possibly adding 4 of the high bay fixtures in my shop down the center to increase my lighting. They seem kinda nice because they are all self contained and only need something to hook on and wiring should be easy enough. Is there any problems with how they light patterns will be with mixed fixtures? Will it create like hot zones or puddles of light that will be weird looking? Some have a dimmer feature that would allow some fine tuning. Thoughts?
