Close to 100 posts, most totally crap.

IES recommendations for a machine shop/wood shop call for 100 foot
candles maintained.

Using 2 lamp fixtures, approximately 19 fixtures are required for 100 FC
maintained.

I agree with the point that it is tough to get enough light for a shop.

I would say that he should check out the high output 8 foot fixtures,
though. It is amazing how much light they put out. It may be more
economical to go that way.
