The power company should tie my service for my pole barn on Monday or Tuesday. All I have left is outdoor lighting, I was looking for more of "Accent Lighting" anyone installed any of this type lighting?

or have a better suggestion, I was looking at putting one of these above both of my O.H Doors at about 11' (I have 10' tall doors)
building is 48' wide, doors are 10' ad 12' wide

RAB is considered a quality manufacturer and handles their business well.
However, that particular fixture is equivalent to little more than 40 watt light bulb. It's also horribly inefficient for an LED fixture @ only 38 LPW. From the 11' height, they will be pretty ineffective.
Unless you really like that style of fixture, you could find something that delivers a lot more lumens and hopefully one that is closer to 75-90 LPW.
Good luck

I'll keep looking, I guess the 26 watts is about 50 LPW, I can get a pretty good deal on RAB products, if I can just find something they have. I will probably light up the corners of the pole barn, accent light, I was going to put something by the mandoor, but I also would like to build some type of awning over it.

I think they would be okay. On the RAB page, click on that EZ Layout icon, and you can create a little photometric chart. Plug in two lights, along with the spacing and the height; it appears you'll have 2 footcandles right below the lights, and 1 footcandle out about 12 feet from the wall. That's a reasonable amount for security lighting.
