Default Amount of lighting

That basically equates to eight 4' fixtures (32' of lighting. Lew's
High Intensity Lighting Sketch (LHITS) gives sixteen 4' fixtures
divided onto 2 circuits. That is, 32' per circuit. So on one level,
there is unanimous agreement. I couldn't quite install sixteen
fixtures, even if I wanted to, due to my attic access. However, in
its favor, the LHITS model does provide an extra level of service
(should I be in sales?).


Categorically not!

A factor I was willing to overlook when I first started thinking about
installing lighting was "uniformity" in lighting. I guess that takes
things to a more professional standard. My original configuration
would have been powered by duplex outlets, and would would have been
a highly reconfigurable system, so there would not have been a real
commitment/investment. No so true at the current level.


Buy half of what you think you need and see how uniform it is. You're
getting carried away again Bill.


I may hang a few fixtures, partly for the fun of nailing together some
8' twobyfour scaffolding (I want to Build, BUIld, BUILD!! with veins
in my teeth!)!!! ~ Arlo Guthrie. There's No Way anything could go
wrong in a small 8' high project like that! Maybe I'll post a
picture, but I don't wish for anyone with a license to look at it!

Okay, I'm off to work! I hope I left ya something to smile about! : )


Have fun with the project. Nothing wrong with building. I bet you find
you've been making a mountain out of a mole hill here.
