Doug;
My shop is 30 x 50 but the main "work area" is 30 x 30. I cant
have lights directly above the lift because the overhead door
would cover them when up. So,I have a run of 2-tube
8'flourescents running along the side, and another 8' 2-tube
over the front of the lift area (like an L shape) Then I
mounted 3 500 watt quartz lights in the cieling aimed downward
at the area where the engine would be. More than enough light
along with the white walls.
