Low bay lighting

[sprog-83]

Hi all

I have been asked to re wire a unit which will become a motor repair centre, I'm gonna look at installing low bay lighting as owner wants a clean and bright feel of the unit, plus benefits of energy saving, so was wondering is there was any way of working out how many lights I would need and respective wattage. Also has any one got any recommendations, thanks in advance

I work in a factory and they are taking out 400W and 250W SON lights and replacing them with 5 foot T5, 35W low energy flourescents. A bank of 4 comes to 140W and replaces a 250 or 400 and is more economical.

Just fitted 5 of these for a customer. They're well pleased and light output is good, nice and white
