Hi LoBelly,

Have to agree with Gav....If 3 phase is an option, I'd put it in...you never know when you're going to need more power.

If you have any thoughts about an electric instant Hot water system, air conditioning, or a hoist, some of those units can certainly consume the amps!

In my shed, I installed a sink with hot & cold water next to a fridge so that with a kettle on top of the sink, you have a basic kitchen set up for the odd cuppa for not only me, but for any mates that drop by!

I had 2 x 15 amp power points, and 2 x 3 phase points as both my Hoist and Instant HWS were 3 phase units.

I'd also suggest that you're generous with the number of 10 amp normal powerpoints because if your shed is anything like mine, it's amazing how many recharger type units you'll want plugged in at the same time!

With regards to lighting, double flouro's mounted up on the actual rafters do the job really well in my shed which has a ceiling height ranging from 2.9m up to about 4.4 m. My shed's 13.5m x 9m and I have 15 double flouro's and I think the lighting works well!

Regards....Paul
