Looking for some advice. Just finished my steel building it’s 40x60. Does anyone have a large garage with high ceilings? With the pitch my ceilings go from 16’ walls to 19.1’ center. I’m looking for high output led light that will last. Ton of mixed reviews on my internet search. My Price range is $100 to $150 per light ( although less cost would be better) 20,000 to 22,000 lumens 6 light fixture. Maybe less lumens with more lights would also work if that would be the better route for longevity. Any advice or recommendations would be great. Thanks.

I used a two bulb LED lights from Costco. Price point was in the twenty dollar range. (Black Friday they will be in the teens) Each come with a 110 volt plug. I ran outlets on my bottom cord on each truss and just plugged them in. I’ll count how many I hung and post it when I get home.

My pole barn is a 60x100 with 16’ wall with trusses every 5’ and no ceilings. I used a 4,000 lumen, cool white, 4’ two bulb light. Lights are instant on to full brightness even in cold weather. Every other truss has 6 lights on the bottom cord. The only window I have is on the front door and its only a half moon. Very bright inside with this set up. Lights are plug and play with 50,000 hour life on the bulbs. When they burn out I’ll just unplug and replace the whole light.

So you have around 60 lights? 6 per truss every other truss. I’m guessing about 10’ apart in both directions. I figured the trusses ran across the 60 ft span. Every 5 foot which would be 20 trusses. Is that correct?
