Lew,
could impose on your previous life one more time...
If a guy had 29 x 51 shed with 12' ceilings (white steel panels on
ceiling and walls, insulated) hoping for 80-100 FC maintained.
How many would you recommend ? and what layout ?
Use 1 watt/sq ft for estimating.
(29)(51)/(40)= 36.98 or 37 lamps.
So it gets down to any combination that allows even distribution of
fixtures.
What about 3 rows, 10 ft apart, along the 51 ft dimension, mounted 10 ft
high? (36 4 ft lamps or even 18, 8 ft lamps)
No consideration given to shelving, etc that might block out some areas.
