Brad: I have a 25 X 50 shop that has 5 (4 tube) 8' fixtures across the
floor area and 3 (2 tube) 8' fixtures (end to end) over the 40' bench and I
wish I had more light, thinking of putting up 5 or 6 more fixtures. Good
advice from everybody else....more lights make for a happier work area. I
got my fixtures from a department store that they were renovating, they are
good quality, paid $10 each, you might find a bunch of good used fixtures at
a local renovator/demolition type of company, cheap. Won't hurt to call
around.

I'm having a small shop built and am getting close to having to decide
what
I'm going to do for lighting. the shop is 14'x18' and will house a
workbench a small lathe and mill and whatever else I accumulate...

I was thinking about flourescent lighting but I don't really have any idea
how much or exactly what optimum placement is.

Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks!

Brad
