What do some of ya'll use for lights in your shops?
I'm at the point of installing the lights in a new 30'x48' shop. I'd thought of putting in eight four tube fluorescent fixtures using 2500 lumen T8 tubes. I bought a couple and hung one up. Can't say I'm impressed with the amount of light it puts out. I have another place I can use those two if I decide to do something else, so they won't be money wasted.
A nephew has a very impressive setup with LED lights in a shop of similar size, but he said he paid $4,000 for them.
Does anyone know if they make T8 tubes that put out over 2500 lumens?
Just wondered what some of ya'll are using. I like plenty of light while I'm working.
