Congrats on the new house! Pretty good size garage there?

Looks goodYeah I have searched around on garage journal. Seems most there are die hard 4500 lumen 4' LED sold at Costco for $35.

I thought about buying 30 of those but didn't know how they would work with high ceilings and install would be more difficult with that many. My ceiling are 14' and the lights will be surface mounted. After posting in this thread and reading a few others on here I just bought 12 of these.

Couldn't pass up the 10% off and free shipping through midnight tonight. They include bulbs as well. Figured I would mount them in 3 rows of 4 and put each row on a switch.
It aught to work. Hopefully the 5000k isn't too bright with tin walls and celings. All the data can be found here. Most of it is jibberush to meLooks good
I was in the same boat too. What sold me is the 6lamp t8 fixture was more money and less lumen than the 4 lamp t5. I to am not quite ready for them. My builder isn't moving so fast with this chitty weather. He has about half the trusses up so far. Just couldn't pass up the $100 savings.I have been searching a lot on garage journal also. I will be mounting lights 16-18' (scissor trusses). Still going back and forth between T8 and T5. I have a little bit of time to figure it out.

Hope some of you are still here. I'm trying to figure out the same for my new 40x72x14 shop. Trying to figure out a good layout and how many I will need for good light. Randall12v, did you get yours up? Interested to see how it turned out
