High Ceilings

[Phil S]

I am getting ready to offer some "top of the line" 6 tube T5 HO fixtures, but they must be installed at 12' or higher as they output over 31,000 lumens. I would like to know how many of our members have shop ceilings 12' or higher. Please reply with your height
thanks

[Robb Parker]

15'5" on my part. I'm definitely interested in a couple. Thx.

 

[Bill Clemmons]

10' for me.

[Don Alexander]

10' ceilings for me too

Ceiling peaks ~13' and a light could probably be mounted above 11'

 

[Mike Davis]

One of those would have been great in my old shop 16' peak, but the new place is only 9 so no good for me. These sound like a great thing for some of our members. :icon_thum

31,000 lumens ?!? I could light my shop..by installing them in Scott's workshop.

-Mark (only 9'-10' ceilings here).

I only have an 8' ceiling so not workable for me. My curiosity was piqued however, is the 12' height requirement for effective light distribution or because of UV harm danger ? I know that some lighting systems because of UV danger MUST be used in a high bay installation. :wsmile:

Only 9' in my shop.

Those lights would turn my shop into a big tanning booth. :widea:

 

[bholcombe]

~12 ft in my garage shop, and its a bit darker than I would like...

Just set up a little kid's pool in the shop and relax under the rays after a hard day of making dust.

I've got scissor trusses with 15' in the center and could use a center row of lights. If there's enough to go around I would like to have 2-3.

8' ceilings and I wish they were higher, but I love the fact that I have a shop. 8' is better than 0!

[Dan Bowman]

8' ceilings but 15' across. Maybe I'll mount one on the wall.

 

[Warren46]

I have 10' ceilings in the shop. I will need to upgrade my lighting at some time. Sounds like your fixtures will not work for me.

12' two car garage for me, I have a total of 8 T5 HO bulbs (across three fixtures) and could use 20 more.

There's no such thing as two much light, but you want to make any lighting you have is even or you'll end up with dark/light zones that make your pupils constantly adjust so that it is hard to see. With a fixture like you have, it could wall mount near the ceiling it so the light goes up, bouncing off the ceiling and back down in a nice even pattern. This assumes that you have a finished white ceiling.

Right at 12' for me in my shop/garage.
