Assuming you have roof trusses, mounting lights above the 8' high bottom chord would create a lot of crazy shadows so you'll want them mounted at the 8' height. Four foot long strip fixtures are probably going to be the most economical and available style. Most any big box store will have a selection of them, look in the sticky note at the top of this section about the best light fixture ever to get the latest recommendations.
Like I asked above ...... how is the roof constructed ? Is it trusses so the lights can be mounted at the 8 ft level or is it all open to the peak ? Picture ?
I use these in a lot of machine sheds. https://www.northerntool.com/produc...5000-lumens-25-000-hours-model-yn-bb50-107988
For a building like that I'd still use 4' strip lights. The light fixtures usually come with light chain that you can use to hang them at a desired height, you could put them at eight or ten feet above the floor.
Do these shine up as well as down? Could they be direct mounted to a ceiling?I've bought 34 of Bbounder LEDs through Amazon when they are on sale ( then under 7 per light.) In a pole barn & two garages.
No regrets. And the good news is they stand behind their product and have replaced two after several years. Be aware they have several styles on Amazon.
6500* K has absolutely nothing to do with brightness. That tells you the COLOR of the light.
