    I don't think you are missing anything, Mark. That type of fixture is pretty inefficient for lighting a workshop. There are many better choices - strips if you have light colored ceilings, or...

    [QUOTE=Greg R Bradley;2568610]Yes, "brighter than the sun" is badly misleading.

    I think you've answered your question, Mark. Three rows of six two lamp T-8 fixtures per row, spaced as you have indicated sounds about right based on the parameters you have described. Be sure to...

    It depends on the color of your walls and ceiling, and the type of fixture you install. If the room surfaces are a highly reflective matte white color you will probably get 40% to 50% of the lamp...

    The plastic tube guards should work, or you could try to find fixtures with a protective wire cage below the lamps. You will probably have to go to a lighting distributor to find them, though.

    That's lamps, Gilbert. But once again, I don't recommend T5HO's on a 9' ceiling. T8's are a better choice. You would need 32 two lamp fixtures for that option.
