Thanks for the reply. I have 17 four foot units with two tubes each in my 600 square foot garage. 10 years old and no failures. The LED’s do interest me.
Great day for me :) My garage is happening

That's a lot of fixtures for 600 sq. ft., My shop is 1200 sq. ft. & I have 10 4' fixtures.......4 across the back, 2 down the middle & 2 on each side of the shop. Basically surrounding the 2 lifts/bays. Never saw the point of lights directly above a car/bay as it creates shadows.
Granted most of the Dungeons I've worked in were really old, But I've replaced many ballast/bulbs in fixtures to only have them last a year or two, Though I'm sure the shops were buy the cheapest crap they could!
This is by far the best lit shop I've worked in......The first pic shows where shadows can be minimized with proper placement of the fixtures as most shops/lighting schemes would produce a fairly large shadow under the car on the lift!

Looks good. You doing sheetrock?
sheetrock on the walls, just decided today not to sheetrock the ceiling.
BeerCan,
Congratulations on that new build! I have to admit to being envious of that man cave!
The foam insulation has to be far more efficient than batt or blown in insulation.
I’m curious: what’s your ventilation/HVAC system going to be like?

Mini split in office area. Going g to have heat in the main space, just haven't decided what kind. No ac in big area
Closed cell on the walls and open cell on the ceiling?The rain here has been non-stop and it's supposed to continue for over another week
Really slowing things down, especially because the framers did a poor job taping the roof and it had to be redone. Anyway fixed now and foam continues.

Yes.
I can already tell that the insulation works well. We heated the area with a bullet heater and it held temp for a while
Very nice build. Love the spray foam and the floors and big doors. What overhead doors are you going with?
I forget the company name right now. I think it might be Banko but I am not 100% sure. They will be powered roll up doors.
Nice, I can barely get people to give me estimates....
