Default Lumens per square foot?

Hi Gang,

I'm in the process of wiring my garage/workshop. It has a 10'
ceiling and will be painted off white.

How many lumens per sq ft should I use for lighting?

Also, what type of lighting is recommended? I'm thinking flourescent
to save on costs, but am open to any suggestions.

Thanks, Gary


What are you going to be doing in the garage? If you just park cars in
there, you don't need much a bare bulb in the middle should do fine, If you
want to do detailed hobby work you will need a lot more.
