Warehouse lighting specification

[chrisjmcqueen]

Hi folks

Before we start can I mention that I am a noob to this forum and appreciate any advice you guys can give to help me out.

My father has a warehouse, its like a woodwork shop-----auto garage. At the minute there is no lighting in it, I want to know what sort of lighting to be researching and pricing.

Dimensions of the building are 65ft long x 30 ft wide.
Ground floor height of 9ft 2in
First floor height of 13ft 5in

The building would not be lit for any more than 3 hours per day (usually at night).

There is a 3 phase supply and also a single phase input, I don't know if this info is important or not.

What sort of lighting units would be suitable ? and how many would suit ?

What sort of budget do you have in mind?

 

[chrisjmcqueen]

A modest budget, it does not need to be a fantastic setup.

You could go for 3 rows of 10 fittings individually switched.

If you want to keep costs down then a 5ft 58W pop pack flourescent would be an option.
