Question about led tube

[Hot shot]

Hello. Hope everyone is having a great day
The hard wiring is done
I drew a sketch of it (not much on drawing)
I ordered the Maxlite fixtures (4’ 2 lamp)that Mr. Platonic Solid recommended
I’m not sure about the led tubes
Have 2 in mind
First one is the greentec one
Second one is made by Keystone
Greentec has a 120 degree beam angle
Keystone has a 240 degree beam angle
Just wondering if anyone would know which one would be better for my garage thanks

Forgot to mention the 4 rows of lights (front to back) are 14’ apart

At what height will they be mounted?

Flush to ceiling

How far off the floor? What is the ceiling height?

11 feet

Flush to ceiling

Doh!!

At 11' either will work fine. The 120 beam will put a bit more light on the floor directly underneath them. The 240 beam will put more light on the ceiling and walls, allowing it to reflect onto the floor to create a more even, less contrasty result. Six of one, half dozen of the other.
The Keystone is a higher quality product.
Looking at your sketch, consider that 2' is not very far from the wall, especially if you will have cabinets or toolboxes there. You have room to move them inward.
Good luck,

Thanks for the valuable input CD
If you lived close by I’d buy you a beer or two!
Probably will go with the keystones then
I could move them out 1 foot
Electrician left about 2 feet of wire hanging
It just hit me if there isn’t enough light in the middle sections, I have a couple older 8ft fluorescent fixtures I’m not using
I could convert them over to led’s

Just one caution - I tried the LED replacement for fluorescent tubes. In one fixture they work great. In the other they work not at all. Both fixtures still work with the fluorescents.

Caveat lumitor.
