I have a 24 foot by 20 foot tool/storage shed that I need to have more light in. I have bought 8 used fluorescent fixures. Each has 3 - 4' bulbs. They are the smaller bulbs and will light below 32 degrees. Should I run the fixtures longway, spaced equally apart (about 1 1/2 foot between each) going with the long part of the building? Maybe the first row five foot from one side wall and the other row five foot from the other side wall - that would leave about eight feet between each row of lights. What about height off of the ground? The cross braces holding the building together at the top plate are about 8 1/2 feet off of the floor. I was figuring on running 2" by 4"s across and screwing the lights to it. Didn't think I should put the lights above the cross bracing due to shadows, but I could. Any other ideas about using these light fixtures would be beneficial. Thank you.
