What would you do if you owned this Building to turn this into a Top Notch Detailing Grage ?

Congrats on the new space, Wendell!

For general overhead lighting, the links Dan provided above are one of the "best bang for the buck" LED options available. For their cost, lumens, and lifespan, you`ll be hard pressed to find a better option for the money. They`re also very efficient, per fixture: 4424 lumens, 36W, 123 Lumens per Watt, 121 Lumens per $1


What are the dimension of the building?

1700 square feet....not sure on hieght....the ceiling is definitely being replaced....once the construction begins I`ll know how much more over head I can gain....or expand the roof

What`s the width and length of the building though? Hard to tell form pics but in order to give suggestions I think it`s critical to know the size/dimensions of the work space. I know I don`t like being crowded when I work on a car and want adequate space to move around the car. Depending on the size (width in this case) it may impact how I`d place tools, equipment, and product storage.

Ceiling height should be a factor in choosing your lighting too so it`s important to know. T5 are a popular option but they are not recommended in lower ceiling applications (below 15 feet) due to glare. Keep in mind this is coming from a lighting expert and is not based on my own experiences.
