Below is a pic of my current lighting plan for a new 1000 sq foot shop. Lights are in green, overhead DC in purple. Ceilings are 10'. Lights are ~3' from the side walls and ~7 feet between lights. Each bank is 20' long, i.e. five 4' T8 fixtures, giving 30 fixtures for the room.
Is there any need for the current additional row of lights going right to left at the top of the pic? That row, along the windows, is where many of my machines will be: drill press, SCMS, Bandsaw(s),.... Bottom of pic is probably wood storage.
Big thing to left of room on green looking carpet is CU300 combo, right half of shop is assembly area.
