Don't know where you came up with that number, but it sounds golden and
looks to solve my own lighting questions. I'm in a basement with a 7'
ceiling so I should be fine with anywhere from 1/2 w / sq ft (~50 fc?)to
the full watt (slightly greater than 100 fc).


7' mtg ht makes getting a good lighting job tougher than 8', but it can
be done.

Use single tube fixtures and keep rows of fixtures no more thyan 48" apart.

Good luck.
