At work we have several 480 volt lights HID we are giving away. SOme
of these can be converted to 110 volts with a new transformer and low
bay dome. WOuld these be good for my garage/shop? The maintenance guy
thought they were very bright but put off alot of heat.


I read this as the lights currently don't have low bay lenses?
Do they have high bay reflectors or none?
Your ceiling height is too low for these IMHO, even for low bays.

That high a supply voltage is against code for residential lighting here.
You might check your NEC/local codes to see if there is a similar
prohibition in the States.

I think I'd pass on these. The cost of converting the ballasts, or a
transformer and more costly 480V wiring methods makes them more trouble
than buying something more suitable for your space.
