Default How Many Garage Lights Do I need?
Hey folks,

Finally got my mini garage mahal project started. It is 26' 4" x 28' with 11' 4" ceilings. My question is regarding how to size how many lights to install. I am looking to buy 1x4 ft troffer (recessed) fluorecents from Home Depot. They each have 2 32w t-8 bulbs in them. My gut tells me I need between 6 & 8 of these contraptions. (3-4 in each bay.)

Anybody got experience sizing this sort of thing? Don't want to have too little light but don't want to throw away good money from the cobra fund either. I plan on wiring them so I can turn various lights or pairs on seperately.

Thoughts?

JB
